The XSeriesII ICP-MS is the most productive quadrupole ICP-MS available for routine and high performance analytical work. The ease of use and practical design of the XSeriesII means that laboratories can acheive their analytical objectives faster, with greater confidence and less 'hands-on' time from the operator.
The XSeriesII is a major update the to highly successful X Series ICP-MS, featuring:
- 3rd Generation Collision Cell Technology
- Protective Ion Extraction
- Xt Interface
- Xs Interface
Product Detail
The XSeriesII ICP-MS is an ergonomically designed quadrupole ICP-MS taking up little more bench space than many competitive AAS systems. The innovative Protective Ion Extraction and Infinity II ion optics, based upon a hexapole design with chicane ion deflector, provides the lowest background specification of any quadrupole ICP-MS. This ion lens design uniquely enables simple field upgrade to Collision Cell Technology performance without affecting the normal (non-CCT mode) sensitivity or background.
The XSeriesII ICP-MS is available in tailored configurations to suit all applications with user interchangeable Xt and Xs interface options. Peltier cooling and third generation Collision Cell Technology options provide enhanced performance leading to the highest signal / background of any quadrupole ICP-MS with collision cell capability.
In conjunction with the XSeriesII ICP-MS, Thermo offers GC and HPLC Speciation Packages to provide complete analytical solutions for speciation applications in the academic/commercial research and routine laboratory environments.
Elemental speciation analysis is readily achieved by coupling gas chromatography to the XSeriesII ICP-MS. The unique dual mode sample introduction system and PlasmaLab software facilitate automated GC-ICP-MS performance testing, tuning and rapid switching between total element and speciation analysis.
Aqueous elemental speciation analysis is also enabled by coupling HPLC to the dual mode sample introduction system of the XSeriesII ICP-MS. The PlasmaLab software and external trigger card facilities enable automated HPLC accessory control using bi-directional communications and intelligent peak integration facilities.
The high performance quadrupole analyzer is pumped by a novel split flow turbo pump backed by a single rotary. The high capacity pumping system enables the use of diluted reactive gases such as 7% H2 in He or 1% NH3 in He to be used in CCT mode rather than undiluted H2 or NH3 thereby eliminating potential corrosion problems and enhancing instrument reliability and operator safety.
The simultaneous analog/PC detector with real time multi-channel analyzer electronics provides >8 orders of dynamic range ensuring the spectrometer is suitable for both steady state and transient signal analysis.
The instrument and accessories are fully computer controlled by the field proven PlasmaLab software.
