Agilent Technologies Launches Triple Quadrupole ICP-MS

Jan. 24, 2012

Agilent Technologies announced the launch of the Agilent 8800 triple quadrupole ICP-MS (ICP-QQQ). The new ICP-QQQ system offers improved performance compared to single quadrupole ICP-MS, and provides MS/MS operation for controlled and consistent interference removal in reaction mode. ICP-QQQ also addresses high-end application requirements, with flexible analysis capabilities unavailable on single quadrupole machines.

The QQQ configuration of this instrument controls the ions that enter the collision/reaction cell, so the reaction conditions remain consistent and predictable even if the sample composition changes. The new instrument provides turnkey operation in a range of novel reaction modes, delivering effective and consistent interference removal for problematic elements in difficult samples. The Agilent 8800 can also be set up to operate like a single-quad ICP-MS, offering the security of replicating existing and familiar methodologies.

 

The 8800 ICP-QQQ analyzes problematic elements in samples across a range of applications, including:

  • Ultra-trace analysis of elements that suffer interferences in high-purity samples (Ge and As in HCl; V and Ti in H2SO4, and more).
  • Reliable low-level measurement of selenium and arsenic in soil, rock and plant materials, where both polyatomic and doubly charged interferences may occur.
  • Quantitative analysis of sulfur and phosphorus in DNA and protein/peptides for life-science applications.
