About

The National Physical Laboratory is seeking a supplier for an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer with collision/reaction cell technology for analysis of trace elements primarily in environmental samples. The instrument must resolve isobaric interferences using a collision/reaction cell with four-channel cell gas control for a range of collision and reaction gases, include two mass filter quadrupoles that allow ±1 amu ion selection control pre- and post-cell, support single-particle ICP-MS for nanoparticle characterization, and provide high-matrix introduction capability for samples up to 25% total dissolved solids.
