Overview
What is MC-ICP-MS?
A multicollector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (MC-ICP-MS) combines the advantages of superior ionization of an inductively coupled plasma source and the precise measurements of a magnetic sector multicollector mass spectrometer. It is an extremely powerful technique for high precision isotope ratio analysis of liquid and solid samples in the fields of geosciences, nuclear safeguards, environmental sciences, and metallomics.
Building on the strength of our multicollector technology, the Thermo Scientific Neoma MC-ICP-MS delivers all the advantages of high-precision isotope ratio analysis, but none of the limitations. Extract information from even the smallest samples with high sensitivity, low noise, and flexibility to switch between multiple applications quickly and easily. New software offers time-saving benefits to take productivity sky high. The Neoma MC-ICP-MS delivers on performance with market-leading sensitivity, isotope ratio precision, and accuracy.
For those isotope systems where high resolution is not enough, the Thermo Scientific Neoma MS/MS Multicollector ICP-MS provides the solution. Utilizing a unique pre-cell mass filter in combination with a dedicated collision/reaction cell, the system enables separation of isobaric interferences and matrix elements before isotope ratio analysis. The Neoma MS/MS MC-ICP-MS filters out the noise to give you world-class isotope ratio data with stunning clarity.
