Agilent is the worldwide market leader in quadrupole ICP-MS, and the only supplier of triple quadrupole ICP-MS (ICP-QQQ). Introduced in 2012, ICP-QQQ has transformed interference removal in ICP-MS, using MS/MS to control reaction chemistry and deliver consistent, reliable results in reaction mode. The Agilent 8900 ICP-QQQ builds on the success of the Agilent 8800 ICP-QQQ, with enhanced performance to improve the ultra-trace measurement of difficult analytes, coupled with ease of use and productivity tools to enable a wider range of applications to be run.
Features:
- MS/MS controls the reaction chemistry ensuring consistent, reliable results, even for previously difficult elements like Si, P, and S
- Reaction chemistry resolves isobaric overlaps, which are beyond the capability of high-resolution ICP-MS
- Four-channel cell gas control provides fast, flexible, multi-mode operation
- A suite of pre-set methods simplifies method setup for routine analysis
- Helium mode provides simple, effective control of common polyatomic interferences
- Robust (low CeO/Ce) plasma for unmatched matrix tolerance
- Ultra High Matrix Introduction (UHMI) technology tolerates samples with up to 25% total dissolved solids (TDS)
- High sensitivity and low background provide the lowest detection limits for ultratrace analytes
- Versatility and high performance combine to support advanced research and demanding applications
- Flexible modes of operation (precursor/product ion scan) support research into reaction chemistry modes
Performance characteristics of the Agilent 8900 ICP-QQQ:
- High sensitivity
- Low sulfur and silicon analysis capability
- ORS4 CRC with axial acceleration: Enhanced sensitivity in reaction cell mode; Suppression of higher order product ion formation
- Single nanoparticle analysis capability: Highest sensitivity and ultra-low background; Efficient removal of elemental backgrounds and spectral interferences
