Application Notes: General

Source Certain use both Agilent ICP-MS (single and triple quadrupole versions) and Agilent ICP-OES instruments. Source Certain have six Agilent atomic spectroscopy instruments in their new state-of-the-art lab. Their new 8900 ICP-QQQ is allowing them to see things they have never seen before in the samples, with some detection limits at parts-per-quadrillion levels.

Source has been using Agilent equipment since 2010, so selecting another Agilent instrument was an easy choice. They currently have three Agilent ICP-OES instruments from three different generations, the 700 series, a 5110, and the most recent a 5900, all with autosamplers.
