The linear dynamic detection range is of immense importance in ICP-MS because of the wide range of elements and concentrations to be analyzed in a single analysis.
Product Detail
A unique detection system in ICP-MS, combining a dual mode SEM with a Faraday detector, has been introduced with the ELEMENT XR HR-ICP-MS, which is based on the proven design of the ELEMENT2
Through the combination of a single Faraday collector with the SEM, the linear dynamic range of the ELEMENT XR can be increased by an additional three orders of magnitude, when compared to the ELEMENT2, to over 1012. With this increase in dynamic range, through measurement in Counting, Analog and Faraday detector modes, the maximum measurable concentration achievable with the ELEMENT XR is over 1000 µg/g (ppm). Additionally, by moving higher concentration elements into higher resolutions, a further ~ 50-fold increase in measurable concentration can be achieved.
