Maximum sensitive ISP-MS series for ultratrace and isotope analysis
with precision isotope ratios and laser ablation support (LA-ICP-MS)
PlasmaQuant MS Elite is the most sensitive research configuration of the series for ultratrace elemental analysis, isotope ratios, specialization and laser ablation techniques.
The system is focused on tasks that require maximum ion transfer, low background and precise separation of adjacent masses. The user can optimize the focus of ions for the target method; the short ion path helps to maintain the shape of fast transient signals during laser ablation and analysis of individual particles. Advanced research into biological, geological and high-purity materials.
The declared sensitivity for 115In is 1.5 million Imp/s per μg/L, the background at a mass of 5 AU is less than 1 Imp/s. For isotope relations, the manufacturer gives a precision of less than 0.06 % RSD for 10B/11B, less than 0.01 % for 87Sr/86Sr, less than 0.02 % for 206Pb/207Pb and less than 0.07 % for 235U/238U. The total hardware platform includes a pump of 0–100 RPM, 400 μl/min sprayer, cooled to -15 °C chamber and low-flow burner; inert and organic input kits are available.

Ion optics and separation
- ReflexION’s 90-degree reflective ion optics with three-dimensional ion beam focus separates sensitive components from a direct beam of photons and neutrals
- HD-quadrupole with a full mass range of 3-260 AU provides high resolution and low abundance sensitivity
- The all-digital AD Detection does not require regular cross-calibration, as is the case with analog-to-digital detectors.
Elimination of interference and stability
- The built-in helium and hydrogen iCRC reaction cell provides rapid and efficient suppression of molecular interferences.
- BOOST technology supports sensitivity in gas mode without degrading detection limits
- Interface cones are replaced in less than a minute without disassembly of the sample input system, which reduces downtime
Sampling and software
- The open layout of the input system simplifies access to the sprayer, camera and burner during everyday maintenance.
- ASpect MS software automates calibration and resolution tests
- Modules for aerosol dilution, work with pure organic solvents (Nitrox) and pairing with HPLC are available
Accuracy for research
- Maximum ion transfer and low background allow for the separation of close masses and the detection of ultratrace concentrations.
- Precision of isotope ratios: less than 0.06% RSD for 10B/11B, less than 0.01% for 87Sr/86Sr, less than 0.02% for 206Pb/207Pb and less than 0.07% for 235U/238U
- The short path of ions retains the form of fast transient signals during laser ablation and analysis of single particles.
- Inert and organic input kits for geological, biological and high-purity materials are available
