Fully simultaneous ICP-MS Spectrometer

With its new SPECTRO MS ICP mass spectrometer SPECTRO demonstrates that even with the high level of technology today, quantum leaps in development are possible; bringing measurable advantages to users everywhere.

The SPECTRO MS is the only commercially available ICP mass spectrometer to offer fully simultaneous measurement of the complete, inorganically relevant, mass range from 6Li to 238U. The capacities of ICP mass spectrometry reach new standards with this fundamental step from sequential to simultaneous measurement. Not only have precision and accuracy been improved, but the measuring time per sample has also been greatly reduced.

The heart of this unique, revolutionary technology is the combination of a double focusing Mattauch-Herzog sector field mass spectrometer with a novel detector that is able to simultaneously record the complete ion beam. This detector using the “Direct Charge Detection” principle has 4800 channels and can simultaneously cover all of the relevant isotopes.

With this simultaneous mode of operation, the required masses are no longer viewed in sequence as in conventional ICP mass spectrometers. Instead, the entire mass spectrum is always recorded “at a single glance” and then stored. In this way, all of the information for  the evaluation of all relevant elements of the periodic table is available for every measurement – that information which is interesting at the time is extracted and processed.

Every single component of the SPECTRO MS has been optimized in view of extraordinary analytical performance and simple operation. With the maintenance-friendly housing, robust systems for vacuum and cooling, a flexible sample introduction system, matrix tolerant interface, an unusually efficient ion optic and simplest routine operation the SPECTRO MS offers users many unique possibilities.
