Analytik Jena AG Expands its Product Range

ICP-MS technology measures the quantity of ions striking a detector, after the sample is ionized in argon plasma. The PlasmaQuant® MS series boasts a major technological advancement in its RF generator, producing an extremely robust plasma that can handle any matrix but using only half the amount of argon gas of competitive ICP-MS. As Klaus Berka, Chief Executive Officer of Analytik Jena AG, explained, “Alone, this single advancement will set new standards for the industry with significant annual gas cost savings for our customers. But the new benchtop system features a whole series of analytical parameters that provide high customer benefit. This is an important step to complete our product portfolio of the Analytical Instrumentation business unit.“

The PlasmaQuant® MS is a universal workhorse, suitable for a wide range of routine applications in environmental analysis, food safety, agriculture, pharmacy, mining, chemistry and petrochemistry. The PlasmaQuant® MS Elite is Analytik Jena''s premium offering with unprecedented 1.5 gigahertz sensitivity making it the most sensitive ICP-MS instrument on the market and up to 5 times more sensitive than competitive systems. This incredible sensitivity makes it perfect for semiconductor and research applications in geochemistry, environmental, materials science and metallomics. It is the instrument of choice for applications that require specialized sample introduction accessories, including laser ablation for the direct analysis of solid samples and liquid chromatography, which offers the capability to measure different chemical forms of a specific element in a sample. The high sensitivity of the Elite model even allows laboratories in the field of single-particle analysis to detect nanoparticles at less than 10nm diameter – a limit that, until now, has been difficult to reach.
