Trace elemental analysis categories

Quadrupole ICP-MS

Our single quadrupole ICP-MS (SQ-ICP-MS) and triple quadrupole ICP-MS (TQ-ICP-MS) systems offer complete elemental analysis from sub-ppt to ppm levels, each providing a unique solution to elemental analysis.

High resolution ICP-MS

Our class-leading high resolution ICP-MS (HR-ICP-MS) systems eliminate interferences for ultra-sensitive, reliable multi-element analyses at trace levels, even without sample preparation.

Multicollector ICP-MS

Thermo Scientific multicollector ICP-MS (MC-ICP-MS) systems offer isotope ratio analysis with precision, sensitivity, dynamic range and stability for the fields of earth sciences, nuclear sciences, and other disciplines.
