Tripling the Productivity of ICP-MS

 From a performance standpoint (sensitivity, accuracy, linearity), ICP-MS is the undisputed technique of choice for elemental analysis in most applications. However, for applications which don't require state of the art performance, ICP-OES typically has an advantage in productivity in terms of samples run per day. The factors which have constrained the productivity of ICP-MS have included diluting samples to accommodate limited dissolved solids tolerance, gas switching and stabilization times for collision/reaction cell instruments and inefficient sample uptake and rinseout systems. By systematically addressing each of these limitations, Agilent has been able to reduce the typical run to run time for collision cell ICP-MS from 5-6 minutes per sample to a minute or less without adversely impacting the performance. Discussion of the various optimization techniques with example applications and results will be included.
