Plasma Ionisation Multicollector Mass Spectrometry - MC-ICPMS

Thermo Neptune MC-ICPMS

The MC-ICPMS is used routinely to analyse elements in a wide variety of research disciplines:

  • High resolution double focusing analyzer with a magnet dispersion of 81 cm
  • High resolution capability on two simultaneous channels
  • Variable multicollector with plug-in Faraday cups and/or ion counters
  • Simultanious mass range of 17% (e.g. m/z 202 - 238)
  • Dynamic zoom optics
  • 50 V amplifier dynamic range
  • Plasma interface at ground potential
  • Automated torch positioning
  • GHz sensitivity with normal nebuliz
