Element 2 Finnigan MAT
Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer
(ICP-MS)

This new generation of high resolution, double-focusing ICP-MS provides the lowest limit of detection in all matrices, with the highest sensitivity and lowest dark noise of any ICP-MS. The sample analysis is free from interferences through high mass resolution. The Element 2 also delivers the highest precision isotope ratios of any single collector ICP-MS. The Element 2 ICP-MS is fully automated, from instrument tuning through sample set-up, analysis and report generation.

While an extensive bibliography is available on ICP-MS, for further information about the principles of high resolution, double-focusing ICP-MS, please consult:
