The icpTOF Delivers All-Element, High Resolution Detection for Nanoparticles and Laser Ablation Imaging
An inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) that simultaneously measures all isotopes at unprecedented speed
An inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) that simultaneously measures all isotopes at unprecedented speed
The icpTOF is an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) that couples the source and interface hardware of a Thermo Scientific iCAP RQ to a TOFWERK TOF mass analyzer. The iCAP RQ hardware provides versatile sample introduction, robust ICP, simple access to cones and lenses and the Q-cell technology. The TOF adds simultaneous all-element detection, linear response and mass resolving power >6000, while maintaining QMS-equivalent sensitivity. With high-speed mass spectral acquisition and simultaneous analysis of all isotopes, the icpTOF is the ideal ICP-MS detector for multi-element single particle analysis or fast laser ablation imaging.

The icpTOF R and the icpTOF 2R couple a TOFWERK time-of-flight (TOF) mass analyzer to the source and interface hardware of a Thermo iCAP RQ. The icpTOF 2R key design modification is a lengthening of the TOF ion drift chamber, which doubles the mass resolving power from >3000 (icpTOF R) to >6000 (icpTOF 2R). The 2R is the choice for applications that demand separation of difficult isobaric interferences.
