Agilent ICP/MS

ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry) identifies and measures the elemental concentration of most elements in a sample, often at very low (sub-parts per trillion) levels. It works by nebulizing a liquid sample into an argon plasma, which ionizes the sample's atoms, and then separating these ions based on their mass-to-charge ratio in a mass spectrometer to provide elemental and isotopic information. This versatile technique is used in a wide range of fields, including environmental monitoring, food and pharmaceutical testing, and geological analysis.
