Picture of a purer environment

An informative and decorative poster displaying applications of ICP-MS in practical, every-day environmental issues is available for the asking

Thermo Elemental, which specialises in AA, ICP, and ICP-MS technologies, brings together in poster form application stories highlighting a range of practical, every-day environmental issues that can be assessed using ICP-MS.

The wide dynamic range, excellent detection limits, and semi-quantitative screening capabilities of ICP-MS make it a versatile technique for addressing many critical environmental applications.

Informative and decorative for the lab or office, the poster summarises a broad range of topics including how ICP-MS can be used in determining the environmental impact of pollution on corals, monitoring stranded marine mammals for trace elements, identifying regions of origin of French wines - and the more commonly known EPA 200.8 determination of trace elements in waters and wastes.

There are a number of hybrid techniques that can be used with the X series ICP-MS instrument including LA-ICP-MS (laser ablation ICP-MS) for solids analysis and LC-ICP-MS (liquid chromatography ICP-MS) for generating speciation data.

The X series ICP-MS is designed for high-throughput applications, very often a requirement in environmental monitoring, and is available with an environmental protocol setup for ease of use.

The high productivity of this ICP-MS system results in a low analysis cost per sample, while being fully compliant with environmental regulatory protocols.
