Imaging ToF-ICP-MS
The Vitesse time-of-flight inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ToF-ICP-MS) provides high-speed multi-element analysis of single cells, tissues and nanoparticles
Specifications
Manufacturer: Nu Instruments, Vitesse
- Fastest wide mass range data acquisition for applications such as laser ablation imaging and nanoparticle analysis.
- High sensitivity to probe micron sized trace element features in solid samples and determine the elemental composition of individual nanoparticles.
- High analyte selectivity with a segmented reaction cell optimised for multi-element analysis.
- High physical resolving power Time-of-Flight (TOF) mass spectrometer to give interference free analysis.
