ICP-MS Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer ICPMS-2030

With its newly developed collision cell and optimized internal structure, the ICPMS-2030 Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer with its superior sensitivity, the adoption of the proprietary mini torch unit and the provision of Eco mode, greatly reduce the amount of argon gas needed for analysis to the lowest levels in the industry.
As a result, low operating costs are guaranteed.

The Software Development Assistant function automatically adjusts the optimal analysis conditions for quantitative analysis. Then, after the measurements are complete, the Diagnostic Assistant function automatically checks the validity of the required data. While the burden on the user is reduced, the efficiency of the analysis and the reliability of the data are increased. Complies with FDA 21 CFR PArt 11.

ICP-MS Application Areas

  • Environmental, Drinking Water, and Wastewater Analysis in accordance with EPA standards
  • Pharmaceuticals/Pharmacopoeia (Hazardous elements in tablets, analysis in accordance with ICH Q3D guidelines and pharmacopoeia methods)
  • Food analysis (Calcium (Ca), iron (Fe), copper (Cu), other essential minerals and hazardous elements such as arsenic (As) and lead (Pb) 

ICP-MS New Enhanced Collison Cell

Higher Sensitivity and Lower Noise

With this newly developed collision cell, polyatomic ions that previously may have been detected as spectral interference are efficiently eliminated by helium gas flowing through the cell, allowing the high-sensitivity analysis.











 

Quantitative Analysis of 75As

If chlorine is in the sample when performing quantitative analysis of 75As, 40Ar and 35Cl combine to form 40Ar35Cl, which overlaps the mass number of As, creating interference.

The collision cell eliminates the spectral interference from Cl, enabling the highly sensitive measurement of As.

Development Assistant

Creating analytical methods for ICPMS-2030 Series analysis involves only selecting the measured and target elements, even for samples being analyzed for the first time. Then, based on the qualitative analysis data (for all mass numbers) from a representative sample, the Development Assistant automatically selects the optimal mass numbers and internal standard elements for the target measurement elements and automatically specifies the concentration range for calibration curve samples.
















 

Diagnosis Assistant

The Diagnosis Assistant automatically diagnoses spectral interference, based on data measured from all mass numbers. Even when using an already established method for routine analysis, the software analyzes data for any spectral interference to determine if a problem occurred.


















 

On-Line IEC (Inter-Element Correction)

Shimadzu's proprietary On-Line IEC (Inter Element Correction) provides correction for spectral interference that could not be eliminated with the collision cell. Since the interference correction coefficient can be acquired only by a single measurement of a standard sample of the interfering element, the correction can be simply and accurately made. There's no need for complicated assessments of conditions, as with reaction cell technology.

Quantitative Analysis of 78Se

If 156Gd is in the sample when performing quantitative analysis of 78Se, spectral interference will occur with respect to 78Se. By measuring a standard sample of Gd, the correction coefficient can be obtained. Then, the portion where interference occurs can be corrected when measuring the unknown sample, and the accurate quantitation of 78Se can be accomplished.








 

Unique Combination Eco Mode/Mini-Torch,
Reduces Running Cost by Dramatically Reducing Gas Consumption

In addition to lower running costs, the environmentally-friendly mini-torch plasma unit, developed by Shimadzu, minimizes the energy (electricity) consumed in producing and maintaining an argon plasma.

Three Factors That Reduce Running Costs

Mini-Torch Plasma Unit

One of the highest costs associated with ICP-MS systems is the large quantity of argon gas they consume. However, Shimadzu's proprietary mini-torch plasma system consumes 2/3 the argon gas (11 L/min) as conventional plasma torches. Consequently, one gas cylinder of argon (~7,800 liters) allows for approximately ten hours of continuous operation.

Eco Mode (5 L/min of Plasma)

During standby when Eco mode is active, the plasma gas flow and power are reduced to 5 L/min and 0.5 kW to minimize the required gas and electricity; however, analysis can be started immediately with no loss of productivity

Low-Purity Argon Compatible

High-purity argon gas required by conventional systems is no longer necessary. Using less expensive argon gas (99.95%) can reduce costs.

Enhanced Maintenance Features

The opening to the plasma stand is wide, allowing easy access to the plasma torch and interface unit. The interface can be easily removed by loosening captive screws by hand.











 

Designed for High Stability and Low Running Costs

New High-Frequency Power Supply

Shimadzu is the world's first ICP manufacturer to develop an all-solid-state high-frequency power supply. Due to Shimadzu's extensive experience, this free-running type high-frequency power supply unit offers the highest output stability.

More Compact Vacuum System

The smaller three-stage split-flow turbomolecular pump is especially easy to maintain, maximizing up-time of the instrument.
 

Secondary Electron Multiplier Tube Detector

The 9-digit dynamic range detector allows for measuring major components and trace components simultaneously with high sensitivity.
