Inside TQ technology
Highly effective interference removal for accurate and reliable results

· The iCAP TQe ICP-MS achieves consistent interference removal regardless of the sample composition using just helium and oxygen as the collision/reaction cell gases. This simplifies operation and eliminates the need for special gas installation in the laboratory.
· If SQ analysis is required, switching between preset Kinetic Energy Discrimination (KED) mode and TQ modes is possible in a single sample analysis for rapid and reliable results.
· The Reaction Finder Method Development Assistant dramatically simplifies method development. No requirement for advance knowledge of complex reaction chemistry is necessary--Reaction Finder does it for you!

Let Reaction Finder select the right mode for your analysis
