Thermo Elemental launches the X-Series ICP-MS, a complete analytical solution including hardware, software, application packs, plus service and support
With the highest signal to noise ratio of any quadrupole based ICP-MS, the totally new X Series ICP-MS from Thermo Elemental combines a performance and reliability suitable for even the most demanding high throughput laboratories.
The innovative approach to engineering this reliable workhorse, uses fewer individual components and more maintenance-free units to maximise reliability of the instrument.
The X Series ICP-MS is available in routine and high performance versions, where the modular design of system options provides a guaranteed 'plug and play' upgrade path from the entry level X5 to the most versatile X7.
There is a full range of options including second generation Collision Cell Technology (CCT), peltier cooled sample introduction and additional gas handling, to enable the instrument configuration to be tailored for the users specific applications.
PlasmaScreen Plus technology enables the determination of Li, Na, Ca and Fe to sub ng/l in clean matrices, whilst the Xi interface reduces polyatomics in complex environmental matrices enabling the detection of Fe at single figure µg/l and trace elements such as Cd and Pb at ng/l levels. The extended dynamic range of the mass spectrometer allows the measurement of Na and other alkali metals to be measured over 200mg/l within this same analytical run.
The easy-to-use PlasmaLab Windows 2000 software, developed using the experience of over 18 years of ICP-MS in over 1000 customer labs, has many built in protocols to allow even the most inexperienced operator to achieve accurate results quickly.
Productivity enhancement features include intelligent, monitored uptake and wash; accessory control language scripts and a productivity enhanced peristaltic pump.
Automated, real time data validation routines reduce the number of sample re-runs, so improve productivity and reduce the cost per sample analysis.
The world's smallest benchtop ICP-MS offers the highest productivity and performance in its class being equally suited to busy environmental monitoring laboratories or the demanding semiconductor clean room environments, operating to full protocol compliance.
With minimal set up time, maximum uptime and customer endorsed, validated application packs, Thermo Elemental provides complete solutions not just the instruments for maximum productivity across a wide range of applications.
