1. Basic Information of the Instrument

Name: Ultra-High Sensitivity Inductively Coupled Plasma Emission Mass Spectrometer

Serial Number: 1806064S

Manufacturer: Thermo Fisher

Model Number: Thermoscientific iCAP RQ

2. Usage

It can determine the ultra-trace element-isotope ratio, mainly for the harmful inorganic elements in samples of geology, materials, ceramics, environment, food and surface water (such as antimony, barium, beryllium, boron, molybdenum, cobalt, nickel, vanadium, thallium and titanium) and the elemental forms (such as the forms of arsenic and selenium).

3. Hardware

3.1.1 In order to be able to introduce a mass screening in the collision or reaction mode for more effective polyatomic ion interference removal effect and to achieve accurate analysis of complex matrix samples, the provided product has two sets of quadrupoles that can realize the mass screening.

★3.1.2 Nebulizer: Babington nebulizer is provided to suit the users’ needs for different sample pretreatment.

★3.1.3 Nebulization Chamber: In order to reduce the amount of matrix solvent introduced, suppress the yield of polyatomic ion interferers, and to eliminate the effect of temperature fluctuations on stability, the product is equipped with a small volume cyclonic nebulization chamber with semiconductor cooling capability of -10°C to -20°C.

3.1.4 Peristaltic Pump: The four-channel peristaltic pump system with a maximum adjustable rotation speed of 100 rpm can speed up the introduction and flushing of samples, increasing the analysis capability while ensuring a stronger sample feeding expansion capability. The pump body is made of inert material, which can prevent corrosion of the rollers by acid drops.

3.1.5 Torch Tube: The use of the push-in torch tube design without manual connection of plasma gas and auxiliary gas circuit can facilitate daily replacement and maintenance and avoid gas leakage caused by multiple maintenance. The demountable quartz torch tube equipped with central tubes of a variety of calibers can reduce the use costs.

3.1.6 Central Tube: The detachable central tube can make it convenient for users to select and replace appropriate tubes for different samples.

3.1.7 Plasma Visualization System: With the function of plasma visualization, the plasma and the status of the conical entry and central tube can be monitored in real time through the computer monitor, which is convenient to determine whether the instrument needs maintenance in time. It is convenient for users who place the ICPMS mainframe separately from computer to observe the instrument operation and optimize the parameters directly through the computer.

★3.1.8 Interface: The design of the interface should consider both the protection of the vacuum of the analytical chamber and salt resistance, avoiding the use of a large cone hole design that has an obvious impact on the vacuum of the analytical chamber. At the same time, it is equipped with a salt-resistant interface that does not lose sample sensitivity, allowing continuous and stable analysis of 25% salinity samples at high sensitivity.

3.1.9 The gas circuit of the main body of the instrument is controlled by a high-precision mass flow meter (including the gas circuit of the plasma part and the gas circuit of the collision reaction cell part).

3.1.10 Ion Source: In order to obtain a higher dissociation channel temperature and improve the efficiency of sample ionization, the instrument uses a self-excited solid-state RF generator driven by 27.12 MHz operating frequency; power range from 400w to 1,600w continuously, and the adjustment accuracy is 0.5W; the generator has been applied with frequency conversion technology which can match fast.

3.1.11 It can eliminate the secondary discharge from the working coil and interface. It uses virtual grounding technology without shielding torch, which ensures the best performance of the instrument while reducing unnecessary consumables that is the shielding torch.

3.1.12 Orthogonal Ion Deflection Focusing System: The system should have two functions:

★3.1.12.1 To avoid sample deposition in colliding reaction cells and mass analyzers of the analytical chamber, the instrument shall be equipped with an orthogonal ion deflection focusing system at the rear of the interface, which separates sample ions from undissociated neutral particles and photons by 90° through the action of an electric field so as to reduce instrument background noise. The neutral particles and photons should be discharged through the molecular pump without any baffle technique to avoid later maintenance of this system.

3.1.12.2 The system should have the function of suppressing ion beam spreading. It can form a three-dimensional electric field in the system to ensure that the sample ions are deflected while achieving three-dimensional directional ion beam compression and suppressing the spreading caused by space charge effect to improve the sample ion transfer efficiency.

3.1.13 Quadrupole Collision Reaction Cell:

3.13.1 The cell or the front end of the cell has a set of quadrupole structures designed to perform mass screening. For different elements under test, the required mass screening zones for the corresponding elements can be automatically given by the control software respectively to better remove secondary polyatomic ion interference or reaction by-products.

3.1.13.2 The pool can be used in STD mode, KED mode and CCT mode for interference elimination and sample analysis, and each of them can be set up with a bandwidth for mass number screening by a planar quadrupole to achieve better interference elimination.

3.1.13.3 The collision mode can use He, H2He and NH3He; the reaction mode can use O2, H2, NH3 and their mixtures.

3.1.13.4 The pool should have a collision focus function to ensure high sensitivity analysis in collision mode, and can obtain 238U ≥ 1000Mcps/ppm high sensitivity level.

3.1.14 DA Lens: In order to eliminate the neutral particles generated twice due to charge transfer during the collision or reaction, and to ensure that the instrument has the limit of background noise, the sample ions can be deflected off-axis by the DA lens after passing through the collision reaction cell, and the secondary neutral interference that may be generated in the cell will be eliminated.

★3.1.15 Quadrupole Mass Filter: the long rod structure of pure Mo material provides hyperbolic electric potential field to ensure the best mass axis resolution and abundance sensitivity; quadrupole driven by 2.0MHz low frequency is used to obtain wider mass spectrometry analysis range and better mass axis stability.

3.1.16 The quadrupole has adjustable resolution function, which can be set for different resolutions for different elements in the same method, requiring automatic switching of the quadrupole at different resolutions in one sample test.

★3.1.17 Mass Spectral Range: 2-290amu can meet the needs of multi-atomic ionophore determination.

3.1.18 The two modes pf pulsed analog and electron multiplier mode can be automatically switched and can be able to complete the scanning and peak-hopping analysis (qualitative and quantitative analysis) simultaneously during a single sample injection. The electron multiplier can be counted for <0.1cps or >109cps signal and the duration of the two modes can be up to 0.1ms.

3.1.19 Plasma Torch Position Adjustment: The computer controls stepper motor for three-dimensional (X, Y, Z direction) position control, during which the step adjustment accuracy is 0.05mm and the parameters are stored in the computer software.

3.1.20 The instrument should be able to use 500W cold plasma for sample analysis, and the cold flame analysis can be performed without using a shielded torch to ensure the stable work of the cold plasma and the sensitivity of the signal. It is required to automatically switch between cold flame mode and standard mode in one sample analysis to ensure that all the analyzed elements in the sample (in two different modes) can be analyzed in one injection. Standard mode without the use of collision reaction cell or cold flame technology can ensure that the method detection limit of 56Fe in line with international water quality analysis standards is less than 3ppb.

3.1.21 The instrument requires both oxygen collision reaction cell technology. In other words, oxygen and helium can be imported into the instrument in the same method. Through the reactivity of oxygen, the P and S elements can be reacted in the PO47 and SO48 position, obtaining the detection limit due to 0.01ppb and 0.9ppb.

3.1.22 For the analysis of elements in high Cl samples (5% HCl, 200 ppm Ca) without using the cumbersome O2 reaction mode, the collision mode can be used directly to remove the interference and obtain a detection limit level of 0.4ppt.

3.1.23 The interference of Ar+ polyatomic ions with Se elements can be directly eliminated by the collision mode, and detection limits better than 3 ppt can be obtained without using the reaction mode of methane or pure H2 gas.

3.1.24 The instrument is equipped with hardware interfaces and software for on-line analysis of elemental forms, including the software for instantaneous signal analysis for chromatography linkage. It can meet the data acquisition, chromatographic integration calculation, report output and other functions in chromatography on-line.

3.1.25 The instrument has good tolerance to high salinity samples and is equipped with an aerosol dilution kit, which can achieve stable analysis of saturated saline samples with salinity over 25% for a long time.

3.1.26 The use of a workstation system can control ICP-MS and ion chromatography simultaneously for elemental morphology analysis, which can meet the functions of real-time operation, data acquisition, integral calculation, and report output in instrument connection. The instrument can display real-time data and real-time report. The control software and data processing software used in conjunction with chromatography technology can be completed under the same interface without switching chromatography software. For example, the chromatography instrument can be controlled by ICPMS software and the gradient elution time can be set.

★3.1.27 The instrument can achieve ultra-low content of Cr3+ and Cr6+ morphology detection. For Cr6+, it can reach 0.5ppt detection limit capability.
