The NexION® 5000 multi-quadrupole ICP-MS – the first in its category to boast four quads – is innovatively designed to meet and exceed the demanding requirements of ultra-trace elemental applications. It takes ICP-MS performance beyond traditional triple quad to deliver exceptionally low background equivalent concentrations and outstanding detection limits, key to ensuring accurate, repeatable results. Plus, the NexION 5000 provides superior interference removal, phenomenal stability and unmatched matrix tolerance, for performance you can rely on.
In addition to boasting four quads, the NexION 5000 is also the proud recipient of three awards: Wiley Analytical Science Award, The Analytical Scientist Innovation Award, and R&D 100 Award
The NexION 5000 Cleanroom ICP-MS is suitable for cleanroom applications, designed specifically for those requiring the highest level of cleanliness and the lowest background equivalent concentrations (<1 ppt, even in hot plasma). It is equipped with a host of new and proprietary technologies which together surpass traditional triple-quad capabilities and redefine your expectations:
Four quadrupoles:
First: Quadrupole Ion Deflector (Q0) directs ions to the entrance of the first mass filter
Second: Transmission Analyzer Quadrupole 1 (Q1, full-sized for <0.7 amu mass resolution), acts as a mass filter or as an ion guide to direct ions to the Quadrupole Universal Cell
Third: Quadrupole Universal Cell (Q2), empowered by dynamic bandpass tuning, prevents side reactions with residual reaction gases in the cell
Fourth: Transmission Analyzer Quadrupole 2 (Q3, full-sized for <0.7 amu mass resolution)
