Study Notes

ICP-MS Overview

The main advantage of inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is its ability to detect and quantify extremely low concentrations of elements in a sample.

Quadrupole ICP-MS

The role of quadrupole ICP-MS is to separate and filter ions based on their mass-to-charge ratio, allowing for simultaneous detection of multiple elements.

Elemental Differentiation

The key principle of elemental differentiation in ICP-MS is based on the difference in mass-to-charge ratio of ions, which enables the detection of specific elements.

Ionization

Atoms must be ionized in the process of ICP-MS to create charged particles (ions) that can be detected and analyzed by the mass spectrometer.

ICP Conditions

The inductively coupled plasma (ICP) used in ICP-MS operates at extremely high temperatures, typically exceeding 8,000°C, to ionize the sample atoms.
