TriMatrix Purchases NexION 300X ICP-MS from PerkinElmer, Inc.

Posted February 10 2011 in New Releases

TriMatrix recently installed the latest in ICP-MS instrumentation from PerkinElmer for Metals analysis, the NexION 300X. The NexION 300X is a single ICP-MS instrument offering both the simplicity and convenience of a collision cell and the exceptional detection limits of a true reaction cell. The major benefits of the NexION 300X ICP-MS are lower detection limits, reduced interferences, and increased productivity.

The NexION 300X has a collision cell (with Kinetic Energy Discrimination) and a true reaction cell (with a scanning quadrupole), to bring together powerful polyatomic interference removal techniques in the same instrument. Together with the instrument’s Standard setting, this patented Universal Cell Technology (UCT) allows the instrument to be run in three different modes depending on the level of interference removal and detection limits required: Standard Mode, Collision Mode, and Reaction Mode. Signal responses are kept stable hour after hour by a unique Triple Cone Interface and Quadrupole Ion Deflector. The NexION 300X is designed to remove an unprecedented level of un-ionized material (and preventing it from entering the Universal Cell), this innovative ion path keeps the instrument clean and minimizes drift.
