Attom ES HR-ICP-MS | Nu Instruments

Key Specifications

Fast Scanning and Flexible Acquisition

FastScan ion optics combined with multiple scanning modes enable rapid mass switching and efficient data acquisition across a wide mass range, allowing fast setup of analytical methods and flexible optimisation for diverse applications from trace element screening to isotope ratio measurements.

Interference Resolution

Adjustable high-resolution capabilities with double-focusing mass separation enable the physical resolution of spectral interferences, ensuring accurate measurements even in complex matrices where molecular or isobaric overlaps would otherwise limit performance. Flexible slit control and the use of pseudo-resolution strategies allow interferences to be resolved without unnecessary loss of sensitivity.

Wide Dynamic Range Detection

A combined detector system with electron multiplier and Faraday detector provides seamless measurements across up to 12 orders of magnitude dynamic range, enabling accurate quantification from ultra-trace levels to high concentration signals within a single analytical workflow.

Advanced Signal Attenuation

A unique detector attenuation system enables linear response over an extended dynamic range without the need for analogue detection modes, maintaining precision and fast acquisition even for highly variable signal intensities.

Enhanced Sensitivity for Laser Ablation and Trace Analysis

An enhanced sensitivity interface and high-efficiency ion optics provide excellent ion transmission for both wet and dry plasma conditions, making Attom ES particularly well suited for laser ablation applications, trace element analysis, and low-level isotope measurements
