iCAP™ RQ ICP-MS

Description

The Thermo Scientific iCAP RQ is an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) configured with a single quadrupole mass analyzer. It is designed as a comprehensive solution for trace elemental analysis across a broad spectrum of sample types and industrial applications, suitable for both high-throughput routine analysis and advanced research. A key technical specification is its wide dynamic range, which exceeds nine orders of magnitude (from less than 1 to greater than 1 x 10^9 counts per second). The instrument's hardware and software are developed with an emphasis on user-centric operation, aiming to maximize productivity and analytical robustness. The design philosophy prioritizes simplicity and ease of use to streamline laboratory workflows and support reliable, 'right-first-time' results, which are essential in busy analytical environments.
