NexION® 5000 Multi-Quadrupole ICP Mass Spectrometer by PerkinElmer, Inc.

PerkinElmer’s multi-award-winning NexION^® 5000 Multi-Quadrupole ICP-MS is innovatively designed to meet and exceed the demanding requirements of ultra-trace elemental applications. It takes ICP-MS performance beyond traditional triple-quad and high-resolution ICP-MS to deliver exceptionally low background equivalent concentrations and outstanding detection limits, key to ensuring accurate, repeatable results. Plus, the NexION 5000 provides superior interference removal, phenomenal stability and unmatched matrix tolerance, for performance you can rely on.

Proprietary features of the NexION 5000 ICP-MS include:

• Four quadrupoles, providing four stages of mass separation: Quadrupole Ion Deflector (Q0) directs ions to the entrance of the first mass filter; Transmission Analyzer Quadrupole 1 (Q1, full-sized for <0.7 amu mass resolution), acts as a mass filter or as an ion guide to direct ions to the Quadrupole Universal Cell; Quadrupole Universal Cell (Q2), empowered by dynamic bandpass tuning, prevents side reactions with residual reaction gases in the cell; Transmission Analyzer Quadrupole 2 (Q3, full-sized for <0.7 amu mass resolution), acts as a mass filter or as an ion guide to direct ions to the detector
• Extended Dynamic Range (EDR) allows to run both high- and low-concentration analytes in a single analytical run, resulting in fewer re-runs 
• Triple Cone Interface with patented OmniRing™ combined with Quadrupole Ion Deflector deliver no maintenance beyond cones, for continual operation and improved stability
• 34 MHz free-running RF generator with revolutionary LumiCoil™ RF load coil, which does not require water or gas cooling, so maintenance-free, eliminating the need to replace plasma load coils
• Syngistix™ for ICP-MS software provides an intuitive interface that mirrors your workflow, with left-to-right, icon-based navigation that guides you through your analysis. Plus, it’s a cross-platform solution, easing the transition from technique to technique.

The NexION 5000 ICP-MS is available in two configurations:

• The NexION 5000 Cleanroom ICP-MS is suitable for cleanroom applications, designed specifically for those requiring the highest level of cleanliness and the lowest background equivalent concentrations (<1 ppt, even in hot plasma)
• The NexION 5000 Non-Cleanroom ICP-MS is recommended for applications which do not require the use of a cleanroom, but which still benefit from the unmatched sensitivity and interference removal capabilities of the NexION 5000 series
