Specialized Design for Versatile Applications
At the heart of the Elementis SQ7100 lies an ion interface optimized via aerodynamic simulation, enhancing sensitivity by 3-5 times compared to conventional ICP-MS systems. This breakthrough allows for detection limits as low as pg/ml (picograms per milliliter), making it indispensable for analyzing high-purity materials, ultra-pure reagents, and samples with vanishingly small elemental concentrations—such as heavy metals in high-purity semiconductors or trace toxins in environmental samples.
The platform excels in handling challenging matrices, thanks to a suite of advanced technologies:
A fluid-simulated ion interface and multi-off-axis design minimize interference from complex matrices.
A patented collision/reaction cell efficiently eliminates polyatomic interferences, ensuring accurate results even in the presence of high background ions.
A robust, self-excited all-solid-state ICP ion source, paired with argon in-line dilution, enables direct injection of samples with up to 10% salt content—eliminating the need for time-consuming pre-treatment and reducing workflow bottlenecks.
Automated heavy metal analysis: Streamlines testing of laboratory filter membranes, sols, and other environmental or industrial samples.
LC-ICP-MS coupling: Integrates seamlessly with liquid chromatography for heavy metal speciation analysis, critical for understanding the bioavailability and toxicity of elements (e.g., arsenic species in food).
Semiconductor-grade precision: Delivers sub-ppb (parts per billion) detection of impurity metals in semiconductor materials, ensuring the integrity of nanoscale electronic components.
Advantages
Faster Turnaround: Accelerates analysis workflows without compromising data quality, enabling high-throughput laboratories to increase productivity.
Enhanced Interference Elimination: The patented collision/reaction cell technology neutralizes spectral interferences, ensuring accurate quantification even in complex matrices—from high-salt biological fluids to industrial wastewaters.
Robust Performance: A stabilized ICP ion source and optimized sampling system ensure consistent results across runs, reducing variability and rework.
Flexibility: Adaptable to diverse sample types, from ultra-pure reagents to viscous biological samples, making it a single solution for multi-disciplinary labs.
