The NexION 5000 Non-Cleanroom ICP-MS is highly recommended for applications which do not require the use of a cleanroom, but which still benefit from the unmatched sensitivity and interference removal capabilities of the NexION 5000 series. The NexION 5000 Cleanroom ICP-MS is designed specifically for those requiring the highest level of cleanliness and the lowest background equivalent concentrations (<1 ppt, even in hot plasma).

Both models feature a host of new and proprietary technologies that deliver outstanding detection limits, astounding accuracy, excellent repeatability and the long-term stability required by your applications:

• Four quadrupoles:
  • First: Quadrupole Ion Deflector (Q0) directs ions to the entrance of the first mass filter
  • Second: Transmission Analyzer Quadrupole 1 (Q1, full-sized for <0.7 amu mass resolution), acts as a mass filter or as an ion guide to direct ions to the Quadrupole Universal Cell
  • Third: Quadrupole Universal Cell (Q2), empowered by dynamic bandpass tuning, prevents side reactions with residual reaction gases in the cell
  • Fourth: Transmission Analyzer Quadrupole 2 (Q3, full-sized for <0.7 amu mass resolution), acts as a mass filter or as an ion guide to direct ions to the detector
• Extended Dynamic Range (EDR) increases linear dynamic range to 1014, allowing the accurate analysis of both high- and low-concentration analytes in a single analytical run, resulting in fewer re-runs
• Low maintenance for greater uptime:
  • Triple Cone Interface with patent-pending OmniRing™ combined with Quadrupole Ion Deflector deliver no maintenance beyond cones, for continual operation and improved stability
  • 34 MHz free-running RF generator offers trouble-free user experience - the plasma is generated by the unique LumiCoil™ RF load coil, which is air cooled (does not require water or gas cooling), so maintenance-free, eliminating need to replace plasma load coils
• External status lighting provides easy visibility of state of analysis, optimizing efficiencies
• Syngistix™ for ICP-MS software (v. 3.0 or higher) brings together the power of the triple-quad ion optics with automated startup, optimization, batch analysis and shutdown, user-friendly workflows, and more in a contemporary user interface
• NexION 5000 Cleanroom ICP-MS is also certified to be able to be upgraded to meet SEMI S2/S8 (emergency button) for integration in cleanroom facilities
