Quantitative Bio-element Imaging Service—Thermo Element2 High Resolution Magnetic Sector Field ICP-MS

Quantitative Bio-element Imaging is a key component of an unprecedented interdisciplinary collaborative effort to map the "inorganic signatures of life," the atomic processes of transition metals found in all living cells and conserved during evolution. CD BioSciences provides imaging and quantitative instruments to analyze metal quotas from the subcellular level to entire ecosystems that shape global biogeochemical cycles.

Name of the Instrument/Platform

Thermo Element2 High Resolution Magnetic Sector Field ICP-MS

MANUFACTURER:

Thermo Fisher Scientific

Introduction

Uses < 0.5 mL sample/run

Feature Highlights

1. Equipped with a ESI SC-2DX PrepFAST autosampler/autodilution system capable of using as little as 0.5 mL
of sample per run as well as performing dilutions up to 200-fold and online internal standardization.
2. Pulse counting and analog SEM detectors for covering concentration range up to 9 orders of magnitude.
3. Magnetic sector field and slit selection allows for essentially interference free elemental analysis.
4. Ultra-trace isotope ratio analysis is also possible.

Summary

The Thermo Element2 HR-ICP-MS is a magentic sector field inductiveley coupled plasma mass spectrometer for the detection of most elements as low as ppq-ppt concentration range (0.010 ppq-10 ppb).
