The Thermo Scientific iCAP MSX has the analytical power to meet and exceed global regulations with detection capabilities that future-proof laboratories against evolving standards. Its combination of sensitivity, robustness, and efficiency helps to ensure laboratories can handle current and future analytical challenges.
Yes, the Thermo Scientific iCAP MSX ICP-MS can be coupled with other Thermo Scientific products, such as ion chromatography (IC) or high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for elemental speciation analysis, providing in-depth analytical insights. Another option is to connect special devices, such as a laser ablation system, to enable direct analysis of solid samples.
The Thermo Scientific iCAP MSX ICP-MS uses less energy than previous models. It's also responsibly packaged with 29% less material by weight and a 22% reduction in size. The instruments are manufactured at a fossil fuel-free site in Bremen, Germany, which is ISO 14001:2015 and Zero Waste certified.
Thermo Scientific iCAP MX Series instruments use Thermo Scientific Qtegra Intelligent Scientific Data Solution (ISDS) Software, which provides streamlined workflows, easy method development, and comprehensive data management. It is an instrument-agnostic software platform that facilitates the analysis of elements and isotopes and can control the operation of a wide range of our products.
The Thermo Scientific iCAP MSX ICP-MS uses kinetic energy discrimination (KED), with helium as the collision gas, to effectively remove polyatomic interferences across the entire mass range. Due to the unique design of the QCell collision/reaction cell (CRC), KED mode can be used as the only mode during analysis, so that sample turnover times and throughput can be increased.
The Thermo Scientific iCAP MSX ICP-MS System is designed for a wide range of applications, including environmental testing, food safety, industrial applications, pharmaceutical compliance, materials analysis, and petrochemicals. It delivers consistent results even with difficult sample matrices and can be easily integrated into various laboratory workflows.
The Thermo Scientific iCAP MSX ICP-MS is capable of analyzing a wide range of sample types, even those containing percent levels (i.e., up to 35% brine) of total dissolved solids due to its built-in argon gas dilution (AGD) solution. In combination with other features, AGD allows laboratories to run more samples with fewer interruptions to productivity, i.e., drift of internal standards, failed QC checks, or extensive need for maintenance.
The Thermo Scientific iCAP MSX ICP-MS is a single quadrupole system optimized for routine analytical testing laboratories, while the Thermo Scientific iCAP MTX ICP-MS is a triple quadrupole system designed for more complex analyses in research-oriented and testing laboratories. The iCAP MSX focuses on productivity and workflow efficiency, while the iCAP MTX offers enhanced interference removal capabilities for more challenging applications.
The Thermo Scientific iCAP MSX ICP-MS is a single quadrupole inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) designed to deliver high productivity and efficiency in analytical testing laboratories. This instrument is part of the Thermo Scientific iCAP MX Series ICP-MS family and provides powerful detection capability without compromising matrix robustness.
