Nu Instruments | Quantitative Mineral Water Analysis Using Extended Dynamic Range Detection
Explore how the Attom High Resolution ICP-MS quantifies major, trace and rare earth elements in mineral water samples without requiring sample dilution.
High resolution ICP-MS offers significant advantages for elemental analysis, particularly when samples contain components across a wide concentration range.
This study analysed three Portuguese mineral water samples using the Attom dynamic range detector system. Measurements were performed across multiple resolution settings and compared with quadrupole ICP-MS data.
Results showed strong agreement between the two techniques while enabling analysis across a broad concentration range within a single workflow. The detector system automatically managed varying signal intensities without user intervention.
Key Takeaways:
- Quantitative elemental analysis performed without dilution.
- Good agreement with quadrupole ICP-MS results.
- Supports simultaneous measurement of major and trace elements.
