Agilent 7900 (ICP-MS)

Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry

 


 

 

The Agilent 7900 ICP-MS offers trace elemental analysis which can reach down to low parts per trillion or better depending on sample prep cleanliness. The quadrupole mass spectrometer offers the ability to scan through all the elements in under a second. The added octopole reaction system (ORS) removes interferences and polyatomics. For liquid ICP-MS, an SPS4 autosampler is available to offer automated analysis of 200+ samples. Samples can be analyzed in up to 5% acid, excluding hydrofluoric. Solid samples can also be measured using the laser ablation accessory. Please see the laser ablation accessory page for more information.
