Features of ELEMENT GD
- Almost all elements present in a solid sample, including carbon, oxygen and nitrogen can be detected and quantified routinely: many down to the parts per billion (ppb) level
Fast Flow Glow Discharge Cell
- High sputter rates for short analysis time
- High power ion source for outstanding sensitivity
Double-focusing Mass Spectrometer
- Signal-to-noise ratios enabling sub-ppb detection limits based on high ion transmission combined with low background
- Maximum level of selectivity and accuracy from high mass resolution: a prerequisite for undisputable analytical results
Twelve Orders of Magnitude Automatic Detection System
- Determination of ultra-traces and matrix elements within a single analysis, as fully automatic detector covers 12 orders linear dynamic range
- Direct determination of the matrix elements for IBR (Ion Beam Ratio) quantification
Software Suite for Productivity and Ease-of-use
- Full computer control of all parameters
- Fully automated tuning, analysis and data evaluation
- Automatic LIMS connectivity
- Remote control and diagnostic
- Windows XP OS
- Less than 10 minutes sample turn-around
- Matrix to ultra-trace detection capabilities in a single analysis
- Depth profiling
- Minimum matrix effects for straightforward quantification
