Plasma Mass Spectrometer
The NexION 2000 is an advanced inductively coupled quadrupole plasma mass spectrometer that enables elemental or isotopic quantification in a broad range of sample types.
The NexION 2000 is an advanced inductively coupled quadrupole plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) that enables elemental or isotopic quantification in a broad range of sample types. When used with the Aspiron spray chamber and Syngistix Nano Application Software Module, the system can quantify cell- or particle-associated isotopes.
