Powering through the complexity of elemental environmental analysis

Welcome to Thermo Fisher Scientific’s Powering Productivity in Food and Environmental Testing webinar series!

ICP-MS instruments are common inorganic analysis tools for trace elemental analysis in the environmental industry due to their multi-element capability and ability to detect toxic elements below the levels required by regulations.

Instrument performance has evolved with ever more challenging regulations, and to meet requirements for new and emerging applications. However, the challenge of high matrix samples and achieving maximum instrument uptime is still an issue many laboratories face. The new Thermo ScientificTM iCAPTM RQplus ICP-MS and the Thermo Scientific iSC-65 Autosampler have been developed to face these productivity challenges head on.

This presentation highlights the key role that Thermo Scientific iCAP RQplus ICP-MS has in a modern high-throughput regulated environmental laboratory, with robust, automated handling of wide varieties of difficult sample matrices, from water to brines. In addition, the presenters explore the role of the supporting technologies of ICP-OES, and triple quadrupole ICP-MS in environmental analysis.
