How does the iCAP MSX future-proof laboratories?
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.
Can the iCAP MSX ICP-MS be coupled with other analytical techniques?
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.
What features make iCAP MX Series ICP-MS systems more environmentally friendly?
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.
What software platform do the iCAP MX Series ICP-MS systems use?
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.
How does the iCAP MSX ICP-MS handle interferences in complex samples?
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.
