Productivity pack contains all the tools required to facilitate method-compliant analysis immediately after ICP-MS installation, to guarantee consistent analytical data
Thermo Electron offers a new range of X series ICP-MS application solution packages targeted at the specific requirements of three target areas: environmental, biomedical and elemental speciation analyses.
Developed by specialists who are expert in these application fields, these packages are designed to enhance market-specific customer support.
By providing customers with proven methodologies that save valuable and costly laboratory time, and simple to use guides that demonstrate how to achieve optimum instrument performance for a particular field of application, these packages can really enhance a laboratory's capabilities.
The X series is said to be the ideal instrument for environmental analysis protocols, including US EPA methods and EU protocols.
In order to support these standards, Thermo has developed a total solution for EPA methods 6020A and ILM05.3D for ICP-MS.
The company now offers a new productivity pack, which contains all the tools required to facilitate method-compliant analysis immediately after X series installation.
It is a simple package, guaranteeing consistent, reproducible, high-quality analytical data, enabling rapid start-up for a laboratory wishing to comply with these protocols. With clear instrument specific instructions, proven methodology and expert applications support, coupled with robust, high-quality instrumentation, it is described as the complete solution for environmental elemental analysis.
Thermo has generated a suite of application-specific notes for its X series ICP-MS to aid biomedical analysts in routine and research biomedical analysis.
Optimised sample introduction and preparation methodologies have been developed which enable simple analysis of whole blood, serum and urine.
The X series ICP-MS enhanced productivity tools facilitate fast, cost-effective analysis, especially for laboratories that run high throughput applications such as lead determination in whole blood.
These application notes demonstrate the performance and flexibility of the X series ICP-MS and highlight the sample throughput conditions where ICP-MS is more cost-effective than traditional techniques, such as graphite furnace AAS.
Thermo Electron has also launched a series of HPLC-ICP-MS and GC-ICP-MS speciation packages in response to the growing demand for routine and research speciation applications.
These packages enable simple coupling between chromatography instruments and the X series ICP-MS with unrivalled flexibility and functionality for off-the-shelf speciation analyses.
Thermo's unique chromatography coupling packages feature bi-directional accessory control to enable fail-safe, automated speciation analysis, unique multiple modes of internal standardisation and integrated software facilities for peak integration and quantitation.
