Maximum Uptime … Minimum Maintenance
World’s smallest benchtop ICP-MSThermo Fisher ScientifIc has designed theworld’s smallest benchtop ICP-MS withtoday’s busy laboratories in mind. Withcovers constructed from inert compositematerials, the XSERIES 2 ICP-MS isequally at home in either high throughputenvironmental monitoring laboratories, busyclinical analysis laboratories or demandingsemiconductor clean room environments,where space is at a premium.
Proven simultaneous detectortechnologyAn advanced “plug in” simultaneousdetector system field proven for highsample throughput applications accuratelymeasures major and minor concentrationsin a single analytical run.
A unique cradle design ensures nocable connections inside the high vacuumarea for improved reliability and easycustomer replacement.
Careful attention to detail ensures thatboth heat dissipation and extractionrequirements are minimized, reducingenvironmental contamination and initialstart-up costs.
Future-proof technologyIntelligent modular design and a range ofunique plug-and-play performance optionsprovide flexibility and a guaranteed upgradepath to maintain future regulatorycompliance.
Maintenance-freemass spectrometerBased on innovative design models used inconsumer manufacturing processes, a radicalnew engineering approach has produced anICP-MS solution that’s as practical as it ispowerful. The maintenance-free InfinityII
Lens, quadrupole and detector systemsensure maximum productivity betweenscheduled preventive maintenance visits.
Highest signal-to-noise ratio ofany ICP-MS with collision cellcapabilityA compact, top-entry, cable-free vacuumhousing incorporating the robust InfinityII
Lens and an off-axis high-performancequadrupole mass analyzer combine todeliver the highest signal-to-noise ratio ofany ICP-MS, with the added bonus that theentire ion optics are identical in the wholerange of instrument models.
Advanced technology doesn’t have to be complicated. The XSERIES 2 ICP-MS makes eventhe most sophisticated of analytical protocols easy to implement.
MoreProductivity
Optimized Sample InterfaceThe Xt Interface minimizes polyatomicspecies in complex matrices enabling thedetection of iron at single-figure ppb levelsin standard ICP-MS operation. Uniqueproperties of the interface effectivelyextend the working range of the massspectrometer enabling the measurementof Na and other alkali metals to over200 mg/L in the same mass scan as ng/Llevels of trace analytes such as Pb and Cd.
By using the XSERIES 2 switchablequadrupole resolution, this dynamic rangecan be extended even further to over 400mg/L for sodium.
