Be prepared for all your ICP-MS analytical challenges with:

Exceptional reliability – With self-aligning injector, cone and lens assemblies, unparalleled plasma and collision cell stability and improved resistance to heavy sample matrices, the iCAP Q requires less maintenance and delivers accurate results — even in challenging and complicated sample conditions. One-click instrument setup and intuitive analytical workflows eliminate user error and ensure consistent operation and repeatable results.

Advanced performance – Our proprietary Thermo Scientific QCell, with advanced flatapole technology, combines proven He KED (kinetic energy discrimination) interference reduction capabilities with unique low mass cut-off capabilities for reliable cell-based analyses. Single figure ppt detection limits for low mass elements such as Li, Be and B in He KED mode allow for full mass range analyses in a single He KED mode. Incredible flexibility –The bench height, open-access sample introduction area makes connection of peripheral devices easier than ever before. Minimized sample pathways increase throughput from all accessories and reduce peak broadening.

Sample Introduction

Positioned at bench height to provide the user with immediate, easy access, the iCAP Q sample-introduction system consists of an efficient, low-flow concentric nebulizer, paired with a compact, peltier-cooled cyclonic spray chamber, providing optimum short and long-term signal stability. Additional gases, for example oxygen for the analysis of organic solvents, may be easily added to the plasma via a dedicated inlet.

RF Generator

The exceptional robustness of the RF generator means that volatile organic solvents, such as 100% acetonitrile, can be analyzed at flow rates over 1 mL/min. The novel RF generator does not require the use of a shielded torch

to produce ions with a low and well defined energy spread. Routine cold plasma operation is achieved with optimal ion transmission for class-leading ICP-Q-MS performance. Interface

The proprietary iCAP Q interface consists of a pair of solid Ni cones. The water-cooled design leads to optimized temperatures across the entire cone, improving resistance to sample deposition and lengthening periods between routine cleaning. When cleaning is required, access to and removal of cones is straightforward.

The iCAP Q skimmer cone features unique, user-replaceable inserts mounted behind the cone tip to control memory effects.

Dramatically Different Performance

RAPID Lens Technology — 90° Ion Optics Done Right

Ions extracted from the iCAP Q interface are accelerated via an initial ion lens stack into the RAPID (Right Angle Positive Ion Deflection) lens that efficiently deflects analyte ions by 90° before entry into the QCell. The RAPID lens ensures neutrals from the plasma are unaffected and do not impact on the QCell, leading to stable cell performance and eliminating routine maintenance.

In comparison to other more complicated 90° ion optic systems, the RAPID lens is a simple, open ion lens operating at a single fixed voltage for optimum, stable ion transmission. RAPID lens technology ensures optimal ion focusing in all dimensions while the beam is turned 90°, resulting in unrivalled QCell — Unsurpassed Cell Performance

The iCAP Q is the only ICP-MS system

to include proprietary QCell technology

combining proven He KED (kinetic energy

discrimination) interference reduction

capabilities with a flatapole low mass cut-off.

The easily accessible sample introduction area allows simple connectivity to peripheral devices, such as laser ablation (LA), ion/liquid chromatography (IC/LC) and gas chromatography (GC) systems. Bench-top IC/LC and GC devices can be placed directly next to the iCAP Q ICP source, minimizing sample pathways to reduce peak broadening. Additional gas supplies for use with peripherals are positioned directly next to the sample introduction system for efficient coupling.

A dedicated I/O (input/output) panel on the side of the iCAP Q system provides full bidirectional control of accessories. The I/O ports are software controlled for user-defined high/low TTL or contact closure for comprehensive support of any coupled https://www.wendangku.net/doc/a19123238.html,ser Ablation

Coupling the iCAP Q analyzer with a laser ablation system creates a powerful solution for the multi-element analysis of conducting and non-conducting solids. For applications that require discrete solid sampling, coupling laser ablation with the iCAP Q is a cost-effective alternative to other https://www.wendangku.net/doc/a19123238.html,ser systems from major

manufacturers are supported by the iCAP Q hardware and Thermo Scientific Qtegra software platform. Full software support of quantification routines in laser ablation analysis is provided in the Qtegra? software.

Speciation

Traditional ICP-MS provides rapid, robust and accurate total element concentration determinations in many sample types. By using ICP-MS as a sensitive elemental detector in combination with a selective separation techniques, information on the chemical form of the element is obtained. Critical in food, environmental and pharmaceutical analyses, total elemental concentration information can be used to screen samples, selecting high total element concentration samples for speciation based ICP-MS investigation. Technique specific coupling kits are available.
