The ICP-MS instrument is ideal for environmental, with moderate to heavy loads of samples comprising a wide range of concentrations. The introduction system shall include: MEINHARD Nebulizer, Glass Cyclonic Spray Chamber and a fixed 2.0 mm Injector Quartz Torch which provides simple maintenance when replacing glassware. Multi-channel integrated peristaltic pump, computer controlled, within the ICP-MS system Easy access to sample introduction components Fully automated one touch X, Y, Z torch alignment. System should include liquid sample introduction system, RF plasma ion source, Quadrupole based Universal Cell to eliminate spectroscopic interferences using either collision or reaction gas, quadrupole mass filter, Quadrupole Ion Deflector, simultaneous dual stage discrete dynode detector and a double or triple cone interface, all under computer control. Ion Deflector for complete separation of ions from photons and neutrals with 90-degree bend of ions into Universal Cell, making the cell and mass analyzing quadrupole completely maintenance free. Computer controlled fully automated system startup, shutdown and optimization and computer-controlled instrument tuning for optimum performance. Instrument must be a bench top design and have a small footprint to not take up much bench space. Instrument should require only one vent for ventilation Quadrupole should be able to scan a minimum of 5000 amu/sec to achieve maximum productivity from transient signals when jumping between light masses and high masses.
