8900 Triple Quadrupole ICP-MS

In this application note, the GED_LAB was integrated with the Agilent 8900 Triple Quadrupole ICP-MS (ICP-QQQ) for the analysis of HF and Cl2 gases. Using the Agilent Software Developer’s Kit for ICP-MS MassHunter, IAS developed software to fully control the GED-MSAG-ICP-MS workflow from the GED software.

Atomic spectroscopy describes several analytical techniques used to determine the elemental composition of a sample by examining its electromagnetic spectrum or its mass spectrum. In this application note, Agilent describes the best method for selecting the correct atomic spectroscopy technique for your needs.

Agilent offers two configurations of quadrupole ICP-MS:

Conventional or “single quadrupole” ICP-MS, and

“Triple quadrupole” ICP-MS, also known as ICP-QQQ, ICP triple quad, or “TQ”.

In this study, polystyrene microbeads were subjected to simulated UV degradation for 20 hours. The resultant micro- and nano-sized particles were quantified, and their size measured by monitoring the 13C signal using a single particle ICP-MS method. Such data can be used to predict the long-term secondary microplastics generation process and the retention of microplastics in the environment.

In this application note, Agilent presents a study where trace element impurities in IPA were quantified by online MSA using an IAS ASAS and Agilent 8900 Triple Quadrupole ICP-MS (ICP-QQQ). The method allows the accurate and reliable quantification of ultratrace level impurities in IPA without requiring a highly skilled analyst.

In this application note, Agilent presents a study where multiple element NPs were measured in semiconductor grade tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide (TMAH). The Agilent 8900 Triple Quadrupole ICP-MS (ICP-QQQ) was used for the analysis because of its high sensitivity, low background, and effective interference removal capability.

In this application note, Agilent presents a study where an automated procedure was developed to quantify ultratrace elemental impurities in de-ionized (DI) water and H2O2 using an Agilent 8900 ICP-QQQ fitted with an ESI prepFAST S automated sample introduction system.

The new edition of the Agilent ICP-QQQ Semiconductor Applications Compendium contains 20+ optimized methods to measure impurities in:

• Wafer precursor and substrate materials
• Ultrapure water and hydrogen peroxide
• Acids and other process chemicals
• Solvents and other organic chemicals
• High purity metals
• Precursor and process gases

The methods include instrument configuration and tuning parameters, sample and standard preparation details and representative results.

The compendium will be a valuable resource for suppliers to fab plants aiming to control inorganic impurities to meet product specifications.

In this application note, the Agilent 8900 ICP-QQQ operating in MS/MS mode was used for the determination and characterization of iron-based nanoparticles in isopropyl alcohol (IPA), propylene glycol methyl ether acetate (PGMEA), and butyl acetate (BuAc).

This application note details how the Agilent 8900 ICP-QQQ can be used for the accurate measurement of 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratios in a range of rock samples.

Got an ICP-OES sample from a new source? Not sure if there are any elements in it that might cause interferences?
In this video, Agilent Technologies provides an insight into how to use its Intelliquant screening software to determine all the elements in an unknown sample along with their concentrations. This promises to quickly screen ICP-OES samples without the need for any method development or element selection.
