Quadrupole ICP-MS System Features

Our iCAP MX Series ICP-MS systems feature robust sample handling capabilities that meet the demands of laboratories analyzing samples with high total dissolved solids content. The pre-defined argon gas dilution (AGD) factors help to ensure the optimal AGD mode is applied to your sample, allowing even the most challenging samples to be introduced directly into the system.

The unique implementation of argon gas dilution combined with Intelligent Matrix Handling provides optimal conditions for samples, while extending the maintenance intervals. The iCAP MX Series ICP-MS systems achieve exceptional long-term analysis stability for right-first-time results, even with the most challenging samples.

Intelligent matrix handling reduces exposure of the instrument to the sample when sample detection is not taking place, helping to ensure long-term stability and preventing interruptions to your productivity by significantly extending the time intervals between cone-cleaning cycles.

The Thermo Scientific iCAP MSX Single Quadrupole ICP-MS utilizes QCell technology to effectively remove interferences. The QCell combines helium as cell gas with kinetic energy discrimination in a time-saving single analysis mode to remove interferences across the entire mass range. For more challenging interferences, the Thermo Scientific iCAP MTX Triple Quadrupole ICP-MS leverages the unique Reaction Finder method development tool combined with the QCell for use with on-mass or mass-shift reactions to deliver interference-free analysis.

The Hawk Consumables and Maintenance Assistant (CMA) keeps track of and displays reminders for important maintenance activities to maximize instrument uptime. Alerts can be customized to the standard operating procedure (SOP) of your laboratory. The Hawk CMA is seamlessly integrated within Thermo Scientific Qtegra ISDS Software to simplify your daily workflows.
