Mass spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS) is the versatile, sensitive and fast analytical standard method in various fields of application. With the PlasmaQuant MS series, Analytik Jena offers ICP-MS that exceed all expectations in terms of reliability, precision and throughput and fulfill all requirements for sample handling, robustness and compliance.

Sensitivity and Efficiency

The unparalleled level of sensitivity of the PlasmaQuant MS provides you with analytical advantages that are clearly reflected in efficiency and lower costs per sample. The patented spectrometer design of the ICP-MS systems provide for the lowest detection limits and consistent analytical quality for extremely short integration times and high dilution factors. This ensures high throughput, long-term stability, and reproducible results, while significantly reducing your maintenance costs.

• Best detection limits
• High throughput
• Reduced sample preparation
• Robust performance
• Low maintenance requirements

Market Leading Performance and Lowest Running Costs

Analytik Jena’s ICP-MS solutions offer market-leading sensitivity. With these powerful and reliable instruments, laboratories can meet the current challenges of increasing sample throughput or reducing measurement times without sacrificing high analytical precision and reproducibility.

Unmatched detection performance

Excellent mass separation and unmatched detection sensitivity (up to 1500 Mcps/ppm at <2 % CeO) for low abundance isotopes enable the detection of extremely low elemental concentrations, low elemental species concentrations and single particles of less than 5 nm in diameter, as well as offering outstanding precision in the determination of isotope ratios.

Highest sample throughput

In many applications, however, speed of analysis is just as important as detection strength and precision. Higher sample throughput significantly reduces the cost per sample. The unmatched high sensitivity of the PlasmaQuant MS and the resulting precision advantage make it possible to achieve the highest sample throughput in the ICP-MS market with up to 80 samples per hour*.

Powerful plasma flame

The ICP-MS instruments offer excellent plasma robustness, which results in high long-term flame stability. This ensures reliable characterization of samples with high matrix loads as well as minimized drift with changing matrix loads.

Outstanding cost efficiency

The German-made ICP-MS systems are also very economical in daily operation. Compared to other instruments on the market, they consume up to 50 % less argon gas, i.e. approximately 10 l/min. They also achieve a reduction of up to 50 % in plasma operating costs.The combination of detection strength, speed, reduced argon consumption and high throughput translates into a significantly lower cost per sample. In addition, the design of the system – be it the patented spectrometer or the open book design of the entire instrument, which ensures easy and independent accessibility – reduces maintenance requirements.
