SPECTRO-MS Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass SpectrometerDetailed information:
Cleve, March 1, 2010- SPECTRO MS showcased * inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) instruments for synchronous measurement at Pittcon 2010 (Orlando/Florida, February 28-March 5, 2010). The SPECTRO MS records the spectra of all elements from lithium to uranium, which can be used for analysis of various metal elements. Compared to continuous mass spectrometry, using this instrument allows users to significantly increase sample throughput and achieve higher analysis accuracy.
SPECTRO MS will continue to improve mass spectrometers. Like the optical emission spectrometer that emerged a few years ago, the advantage of synchronous measurement with the SPECTRO MS will also revolutionize the market, "said Manfred Bergsch, Managing Director of SPECTRO. SPECTRO MS not only has higher accuracy and result reproducibility, but also has a faster analysis speed than ordinary mass spectrometry; It has opened up new application prospects for the laboratory. ”

A series of newly designed components have achieved full spectrum synchronous recording:
--In the process of ion transfer, new ion optical components can effectively transfer ions from plasma to mass spectrometry; Simultaneously effectively eliminating neutral particles and photons in the electron beam.
--Mattauch Herzog Design - Dual Focus Fan Field Mass Spectrometer. The electrostatic analyzer and permanent magnet directly focus ions on the focal plane without the need for ion beam scanning.
--An extremely powerful direct charging detector with 4800 channels, placed on the focal plane of the mass spectrometer, can synchronously record the full mass spectra from lithium to uranium elements, with an average of 20 channels per isotope. Each channel is divided into two independent detectors with different signal amplification factors. Thus achieving the dynamic working range for precise determination of extreme isotope ratios using SPECTRO MS.
--The newly invented sleep mode of the vacuum system is durable, user-friendly, and has extremely low energy consumption.
--The appearance, software, and excitation technology of SPECTRO MS are closely related to the main product of ICP-OES, SPECTRO ARCOS. The plasma generator in the new instrument is a durable and independent 27.12 MHz generator; Ensuring extremely stable energy coupling of the plasma.

New standards for research laboratories
--The new SPECTRO MS has a wide range of applications. Bergsch said, "We have learned that in many application areas, especially in commercial research and development laboratories, the sample size is very large and the requirements of such institutions are high. Here, SPECTRO MS can truly demonstrate advantages in precision, reproducibility, detection limit, and sample throughput. SPECTRO MS will soon become a standard system in this field

同位素比率分析
--In addition to research laboratories, synchronous mass spectrometry can also be applied in the following industrial fields: environmental, chemical, and pharmaceutical laboratories, where users can benefit from the instrument's detection limits and sample throughput. Precious metal processing plants and refineries will experience the advantages of high-precision instruments. New applications can be developed in determining isotope ratios, and precise isotope ratio analysis can also be applied to quantitative analysis of element content using isotope dilution methods. Through this method, geological laboratories can more accurately characterize samples.

Background knowledge: ICP-MS
--For the past 30 years, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) has become a prescribed detection method for elemental analysis: analyzing element content based on the mass of different elements. Spray the liquid sample into the ionized argon plasma at 1000 ℃ with a spray. Afterwards, the ions are transferred to the ion selector through a vacuum interface, aggregated into a beam, and focused in mass spectrometry. Mass spectrometry separates ion beams based on the mass to charge ratio. The detector records ions to achieve element content analysis. *The combination of ion optics, mass spectrometer, and detector makes the new SPECTRO MS the most efficient ICP-MS for separating and synchronously detecting all ion beams.
