The Platform XS™ is the multi-element collision/reaction cell-based ICP-MS paradigm, transferring the exacting demands of reaction chemistry away from the user to reproducibly deliver uncompromising analytical performance under a single set of operating conditions. Analysis could not be more simple: - Single plasma conditions
- Single collision cell conditions
- Single lens conditions
- Single detector calibration conditions
- No batching of elements for specific conditions, no delays for conditions to stabilize: the highest possible duty cycle without compromise
