Power your ICP-MS analysis: New solutions to overcome the challenges of high matrix samples and boost productivity

Fast, accurate results are essential in today’s busy laboratory, whether environmental, industrial, or contract testing, for compliance monitoring, important decision making, or meeting productivity goals and the bottom line.

Multi-element analysis of high matrix and varied samples performed by these laboratories require robust, easy to operate, and maintain instrumentation with minimum operating cost. However, increasing regulation and product quality and safety standards drive the demand for ultra-trace detection in high matrix samples requiring high sensitivity in addition to robustness and ease of use.

In Part 3 of this webinar series, discover how the new Thermo Scientific® iCAP® RQplus ICP-MS and the new Thermo Scientific® iSC-65 autosampler deliver robust, long-term analysis of high matrix samples for enhanced throughput with data demonstrating performance. Learn about differentiating features for ease of use, industry leading sensitivity, and advanced interference removal. Maximize uptime and reduce downtime with new software features for preemptive maintenance, troubleshooting, and consumable management. Finally, find out how this new system helps laboratories meet their sustainability goals.
