WINSFORD, England (January 21, 2005) – The new XSeriesII ICP-MS from Thermo Electron Corporation is a major update to the highly successful X Series ICP-MS. The instrument, which is the most productive quadrupole ICP-MS for both routine and high performance analytical work, will be exhibited at the European Winter Plasma Conference 2005, Budapest, Hungary, January 30 - Feb 3.
Utilizing a new ion extraction system, the XSeriesII significantly improves the detection limits of the quadrupole ICP-MS technique with a further improvement to the already class leading signal to background performance. The XSeriesII also features a new Protective Ion Extraction ion optics design, which dramatically reduces blank levels and improves the interference removal capabilities in combination with Thermo’s new Third Generation Collision Cell Technology.
A new Xt interface, which is featured as standard in the X SeriesII ICP-MS, utilizes the ground breaking cone geometry and analytical benefits of the previous Xi Interface but improves the matrix tolerance capabilities and reduces user maintenance requirements. Ensuring maximum ease-of-use and high productivity, the new interface as well as the ion optics design require no user cleaning or replacement of components in the high vacuum area - a benefit unique to Thermo ICP-MS.
The new XSeriesII ICP-MS presents enhanced benefits across the whole range of common ICP-MS applications. The ease of use and practical design of the XSeriesII means that laboratories can achieve their analytical objectives faster, with greater confidence and less hands-on time from the operator.
