Time-of-Flight ICP-MS
- Fastest wide mass range data acquisition for applications such as laser ablation imaging and nanoparticle analysis.
- High sensitivity to probe micron sized trace element features in solid samples and determine the elemental composition of individual nanoparticles.
- High analyte selectivity with a segmented reaction cell optimised for multi-element analysis.
- High physical resolving power Time-of-Flight (TOF) mass spectrometer to give interference free analysis.
- Unique quad, cell, TOF option (QCT) for the ultimate flexibility in removing interferences.
Vitesse is a time-of-flight inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer that has been purpose designed to be the ultimate tool for high speed multi-element applications such as laser ablation imaging and nanoparticle analysis. High speed conventional ICP-MS analysis is also possible with a range of sample accessory devices. Additional flexibility is available with an optional full size quadrupole before the reaction cell to improve the selectivity of the chemistries being used to remove difficult interferences.
