PlasmaQuant MS Elite

In this application note, find out how the PlasmaQuant® MS enables fast and precise high-throughput analysis of 21 elements in drinking water according to U.S. EPA 200.8.

In this application note, learn how to quantify rare earth elements in geological materials by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS.

This application note describes a gradient method for the PQ LC HPLC system developed to separate five arsenic species with special attention to well separated chromatographic signals in shortest time. To test the method‘s applicability for real samples, commercially available apple juice and orange juice samples were analyzed.

The fast, multi-element capability and wide dynamic range of Inductively Coupled Plasma – Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS), makes it the technique of choice when it comes to elemental analysis of biological materials including urine, whole blood, plasma and serum. This application note describes a study that demonstrates that alkali dilution of biological materials of a clinical nature is an effective sample preparation procedure for multi-element analysis by ICP-MS.

Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is now a well-established technique for use in human studies because it can determine both the total elemental content and isotopic ratios with sufficient precision and accuracy in a single analytical run. This application note presents a method for the preparation and determination of Fe isotope ratios in 11 human whole blood sample by ICP-MS with the precision and accuracy to clearly distinguish between female and male samples.

Arsenic toxicity, mobility and bioavailability can differ greatly between the various chemical species in which it exists. As a result, the reporting of total arsenic concentration only can often be misleading. This application note demonstrates a method for fast and accurate determination of arsenic species in urine, using the PlasmaQuant® MS Elite.

This article discusses the comparison of three sample preparation techniques for the analysis of biological solutions, with an emphasis on whole blood. The study involved preparing and analyzing various plasma, serum, urine and whole blood control standards, and determining the concentration of various elements in each matrix from a single, external calibration.

Food safety strategy covers the safety of food for human consumption, but also animal and plant health. Analytik Jena shows how food is traceable as it moves from the farm to the fork.

This application note has been updated from the previous version published on April 4, 2017.

This application note discusses trace metal determination in high purity 5N gold (>99.999% gold) by means of inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).

Besides the organically bound elements: hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen, there are more than 30 dietary elements necessary for the correct functioning of living organisms. For example, calcium is the main component of human bones and teeth and helps in clotting blood, and calcium deficiency can cause osteoporosis, metabolic disorder and other problems. However, there are not only nutritional elements necessary for life, but also toxic elements with adverse effects on organisms such as lead or mercury. This application note investigates the measurement of key elements in food and agricultural reference materials by ICP-MS, from trace to major levels within a single analysis.

In this video, learn about the PlasmaQuant MS series from Analytik Jena, designed with the modern laboratory in mind to provide faster and more sensitive ICP-MS analysis, for applications from food analysis to biopharma.
