  • Application Area:Analytical determination of As species and full elemental scans.

"On the analytical side, this machine is extremely good. We use it as the gold standard for Arsenic determination, for As species and totals. Here at the Institute for Global Food Security our area of interest is food, and specifically for me it is As in rice. The soil it grows in, the roots, stems, leaves and of course the grain. The iCAP Q when coupled to a Thermo Dionex IC 5000 Ion Chromatograph gives us extremely good sensitivity and separation of the various As species. We also get good performance looking a wider range of elements in a full scan. Being a relatively new technique, sometimes there are instrument related problems and most of these are quick fixes, with the odd instance taking longer than expected. Every system has it foibles and in our case the quality of the results far outweighs any few minor service issues. The system is easy to operate and maintain and has turned out good quality data from the week after installation."

  • Application Area: Potable Water, Dialysis Water Metals Testing

"This unit was purchased within months of initial production, but has shown to be relatively problem free. After botched application training, and return visit from another specialist, method development went smoothly, and unit performs to our expectations. The software is a little quirky, but with repeated usage, becomes easier to manipulate. Servicing is a breeze with all serviceable items easily accessible, and well thought out. "

The Thermo Scientific™ iCAP Q ICP-MS is a dramatically different ICP-MS for total reliability with maximized up-time and a dramatically simplified workflow. The radical design simplifies the user experience and dramatically improves laboratory efficiency.

With all-new, user-inspired design, advanced engineering and gorund-breaking technology, the iCAP™ Q is an evolutionary jump in ICP-MS. The iCAP Q is easier to use, simpler to maintain, and delivers more performance than any other system - giving you total confidence in your results, whether you perform routine analyses or state-of-the-art research.


iCAP Q ICP-MS Features:

  • Ergonomically designed quadrupole ICP-MS with smallest bench space available.
  • Innovative RAPID (Right Angle Positive Ion Deflection) lens technology (90° ion optics done right) for separation of ions and neutrals.
  • Innovative interface with skimmer cone featuring unique, user-replaceable inserts mounted behind the cone tip to control memory effects.
  • The only ICP-MS system to include proprietary QCell technology combining proven He KED interference reduction capabilities with a flatapole low mass cut-off.
  • High-performance quadrupole analyzer is pumped by a novel split flow turbo pump backed by a single rotary.
  • New, simultaneous analog/PC detector with real time multi-channel analyzer electronics provides >9 orders of dynamic range suitable for both steady state and transient signal analysis.
  • The combination of an advanced inlet system, the RAPID lens and QCell provide enhanced performance for outstanding signal to background among quadrupole ICP-MS.
  • New, exceptionally robust RF generator with fast dynamic frequency impedance matching for high plasma stability without need for a shield.
