Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer (ICP-MS)

Brand : Perkin Elmer
Model : NexION 2000

Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is an analytical technique that can be used to measure elements at trace levels in biological fluids.

Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is a type of mass spectrometry that uses inductively coupled plasma to ionize samples. It atomized the sample and produces atomic and small polyatomic ions, which will then be detected by detector. It is known and used for its ability to detect the presence of metals and some non -metallic elements in liquid samples at very low concentrations. It can detect different isotopes of the same element, which can also make it a versatile tool in Isotope labeling. This analytical technique can be used to measure these elements at low detection levels in solution samples.

This tool is known for its ability to detect metals and some non -metallic elements in liquid samples at very low concentrations. The ICP-MS accurately determines how much of a specific element is in the material analysed. In a typical quantitative analysis, the concentration of each element is determined by comparing the counts measured for a selected isotope to an external calibration curve that was generated for that element.
