Are You Sure Your ICP-MS Interferences Are Under Control?
In this summary, we will discuss how triple-quadrupole ICP-MS resolves interferences and improves accuracy for difficult elements and challenging applications. We will illustrate this with examples from a variety of applications. We will also present the new Agilent 8900 ICP-QQQ, which provides increased sensitivity, even lower detection limits, and hardware developments that provide greater flexibility to address emerging applications.
