Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS)
System: Agilent 7700x ICP-MS
ICP-MS is a very sensitive method, which offers a wide range of applications in inorganic elemental analysis. A total of 70 elements can be quantified simultaneously in trace concentrations in the ppb (part per billion; ng/mL) or sub-ppb range. Samples, which are present as solids or in an organic matrix, are first brought into solution by chemical digestion methods.

Useful tips:
Suitable samples: | Solids, liquids |
Sample specifications: | ca. 0.5-1 g (smaller amounts possible) |
Range/Options: | ppb to ppt |
Application(s)
- Elemental composition in alloys
- Leachable & Extractable testing of (medical) products
- Cleanliness verification
- Cleaning validations
Standards
- ISO 10993 (Biological evaluation of medical devices)
