Analytik Jena is recognised as being a global leader in analytical instrumentation. From its early days as part of the Carl Zeiss group up to the present day it has a reputation for developing new, innovative and exciting analytical instrumentation.
The PQMS range of instruments has evolved into four bespoke ICP-MS systems which have each been designed to ensure optimum performance in your laboratory; whether it’s cutting-edge research, high-throughput routine analysis or high-matrix samples, we can provide the best solution for your needs.
The PlasmaQuant offers the following key features:
When considering ICP-MS, benchmark your choice against the PQ-MS from Analytik Jena. Contact us for the evidence sheet covering the four points above.
The PlasmaQuant MS range from Analytik Jena is the perfect ICP-MS for any laboratory; it provides unparalleled sensitivity and speed, has the lowest running costs of any ICP-MS, has the smallest footprint and can handle any sample matrix utilising the built-in aerosol dilution.
The ASpect MS software features a range of automated options, including a customizable setup and initialization routine, plasma alignment, mass calibration and resolution tests. Automatic optimization of ion optics simplifies method development and includes a selection of optimization routines for different application requirements.
Further accessories are available for HPLC-speciation, single-particle analysis and laser ablation measurements.
SciMed have fully certified Analytik Jena service engineers and we offer full sales, service and technical support across the Analytik Jena range.
The PQ-MS will save thousands of pounds in argon consumption per annum. A comparative study has shown the following:
PQ-MS = 11.5 L/min,
Other ICP-MS n1 = 18L/min,
Other ICP-MS n2 = 20L/min
Other ICP-MS = 16-24L/min
The table below shows the monthly costs of argon at a major laboratory using another brand of ICP-MS:
This leads to the following savings over a 3 year period based on a 50% and 25% saving on argon costs:
| Current ICP-MS costs | Savings using PQ-MS assuming 50% lower consumption | Savings using PQ-MS assuming 25% lower consumption | |
| Total | £60,219 | £30,109 | £15,055 |
The Analytik Jena boasts a sensitivity of 1500 Mcps/ppm <2% CeO, this contrasts with other models which show:
Other ICP-MS n1 = 100 Mcps/ppm <2% CeO
Other ICP-MS n2 = 1000 Mcps/ppm <2% CeO
This outstanding sensitivity combined with a high count rate as shown below makes it the most sensitive ICP-MS currently available without the added investment of a trip quad system.
PQ-MS = 20,000 measurements/s (50 µs minimum)
Other ICP-MS n1 = 100,000/s
Other ICP-MS n2 = 10,000/s
Other ICP-MS n3 = 10,000/s
This added level of performance is thanks to the unique ReflexION Ion Mirror used to separate the ion beam from photons, droplets and other particles.
