Challenging environmental analysis

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

Environmental analysis

Easy to use and trustable system allowing challenging levels of analysis with total confidence.

Review Date: 25 Nov 2025 | Agilent Technologies

Great instrument!!

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

Elemental impurities in APIs

This instrument requires some degree of infrastructural rebuild or planning, but once all of that is shored up, the installation, qualification, and use of the instrument is very straightforward. High reliability and accuracy, much superior in very many ways to ICP-OES. Collison cell for polyatomics also a nice feature.

Very robust

 

Average Rating 4.3

Application Area:

Academic and Research

High Quality reproducible results...if you know what you are doing. It just works. So many applications

Review Date: 20 Jan 2023 | Agilent Technologies

In general, stable instrument with user friendly software

 

Average Rating 4.0

Application Area:

Analyze metabolites in cell culture media and samples

The only concern I've had with the system is that the ISTD curve is not as stable as they claim for running matrix even if you use the high matrix mode and higher dilution factor for the sample preparation. Although all the TDS gets lower than 0.2%, the curve is not as smooth as the ones shown in the application notes. I have gone through all the troubleshooting with Agilent technical service but nothing has changed and the curve varies from run to run even for the same samples.

Review Date: 15 Jul 2022 | Agilent Technologies

Great instrument. I am glad I switched to Agilent 5 years ago.

The Agilent 7900 ICP-MS is a flexible single quadrupole ICP mass spectrometer that provides the industry’s best matrix tolerance, most effective helium collision mode, lowest detection limits, and widest dynamic range. As a result, you can be confident you are reporting accurate data every time, even at trace levels, whatever your sample types.

The 7900 ICP Mass Spec provides the highest performance for demanding commercial and industrial applications, with the flexibility needed for research and advanced analysis such as speciation. High sensitivity and fast acquisition of transient signals – necessary for analysis of single nanoparticles (spICP-MS), single cells, and for laser ablation – give you the edge over the competition.

Features:

  • The industry’s most robust (low CeO/Ce) plasma delivers unprecedented matrix tolerance
  • Ultra High Matrix Introduction (UHMI) technology enables you to run samples with 25% total dissolved solids (TDS)
  • Helium (He) cell gas mode improves accuracy by providing reliable control of polyatomic interferences
  • Off-axis lens provides high sensitivity and low detection limits across the mass range
  • Wide dynamic range detector allows you to measure majors and trace in one run
  • Fast integration (0.1 ms dwell time) supports analysis of fast transient signals such as single nanoparticles (spICP-MS)
  • ICP-MS MassHunter Method Wizard builds your methods automatically
  • Flexible configuration easily connects to optional accessories and peripherals for advanced applications

Overcoming high matrix sample analysis challenges by optimizing ICP methods

May 7, 2025 at 16:00 BST / 17:00 CEST / 11:00 EDT / 08:00 PDT

Performing trace and ultra-trace elemental analysis is important to meet regulations in various industries including environmental and food testing. However, often the presence of high total dissolved solids (TDS) in samples introduces challenges in spectroscopy analysis such as spectral interferences, nebulizer blockages, and the need for frequent dilutions. These issues can result in sample re-runs and increased instrument maintenance.

Discover an innovative solution that prioritizes both the hardware and software of Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES) and Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) instruments, that can help analysts generate high-quality data easier and more quickly with less user intervention.

Join Dr. Raimund Wahlen, Product Specialist at Agilent Technologies, and Dr. Pierre Burckel, Application Engineer in Atomic Spectroscopy, at Agilent Technologies as they introduce the IntelliQuant feature on Agilent ICP platforms. Learn how this semiquantitative analysis tool can quickly provide a full picture of the entire sample composition for method development and thereby guide the analyst in deciding which wavelengths, or isotopes, are the best options for target analytes or internal standard elements. Different high TDS nebulizers are compared and evaluated in terms of their sensitivity, precision, tolerance to total dissolved solids, particle size handling, and maintenance requirements. Finally, automated hardware features to address high levels of dissolved solids in solutions will be discussed.

Key learning objectives:

  • Discover strategies for dealing with high TDS content in samples
  • Find out how to select the best sample introduction components for different sample types
  • Learn how to identify and address spectral interferences in unknown samples
  • Understand how automation can address dilution of high matrix samples and improve sample throughput

Who should attend?

  • Lab managers, QC lab technicians, researchers and analysts working in contract testing labs, food testing, environmental testing, public health and public analyst labs.
