Inside TQ technology
Highly eective 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!
