Working Principles:

Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS) is an analytical instrument used for elemental determination. The sampled material is introduced into high-energy argon plasma that consists of electrons and positively charged argon ion. In the plasma, the material is split into individual atoms. These atoms will lose electrons and become (singly) charged positive ions. To allow their identification, the elemental ions produced in the plasma (ICP) must be transferred from 7000 K to room temperature and from atmospheric pressure to high vacuum. To do so, the ions are extracted through a number of apertures. Besides ions also photons are produced in the plasma.

User Instructions:

• There should be minimum 5 samples with at least 3 elements in each sample for analysis
• Biological and non-biological samples can analyses
• In case of liquid sample minimum 25 ml is required for processing
