Principle of Detection

The trace element analyzer is based on Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) technology. It utilizes a high-frequency radio frequency (RF) signal to generate a high-temperature plasma that ionizes the analytes. The mass spectrometer then detects the ions' mass-to-charge ratio and intensity, enabling the quantification of elemental concentrations in the sample.

The working principle involves two main components:

• Plasma: Where the sample aerosol is atomized and ionized within the plasma.
• Mass Spectrometer: Which separates ions according to their mass-to-charge (m/z) ratios.

• Wide Application: Supports measurement of multiple specimen types including whole blood, serum, urine, and breast milk.
• High Throughput: Minimal sample volume required; simultaneously detects dozens of elements in a single run.
• Distinctive Design: Optional nickel and platinum tri-cone ion extraction system; 90° quadrupole deflection system enhances stability.
• Interference Removal: Octopole collision cell combined with kinetic energy discrimination effectively eliminates polyatomic ion interferences.
• User-Friendly: Optional fully automated sample pretreatment system enables loading and detection from primary tubes.
• Intuitive Software: Simplifies routine high-throughput analysis with built-in mature analytical methods.
