ICPMS-2040/ICPMS-2050

Shimadzu’s ICPMS-2040 and ICPMS-2050 inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometers represent a revolutionary step in the development of elemental analysis technology. These innovative instruments combine unsurpassed sensitivity, environmental friendliness and ease of use, setting new standards in the field of analytical chemistry. The ICPMS-2040 and ICPMS-2050 are designed to meet the most demanding needs of modern laboratories, providing accurate and reliable multi-element analysis over a wide concentration range – from ultra-trace amounts to major components. These instruments are ideal for a variety of applications in the fields of environmental monitoring, pharmaceutical research, food quality control, geochemistry and many others.

• Mini-torch. The new mini-torch in the ICPMS-2040 provides twice the sensitivity compared to previous versions of the instrument with significantly reduced argon consumption. The optimized design of the burner increases the efficiency of sample ionization, which minimizes the risk of nozzle clogging and ensures stable operation of the instrument. The ICPMS-2050 model retains all these advantages, but is additionally optimized for working with reactive gases, which expands its functionality and allows you to achieve even better results in a variety of analytical tasks.
• Economical gas consumption. The ICPMS-2040 uses only 11 l/min of argon, which is two-thirds less than conventional ICPMS systems. With Eco mode, argon consumption can be further reduced to 5.5 l/min in standby mode. The ICPMS-2050 maintains this economy, adding optimizations for efficient use of reaction gases, making it even more functional and productive.
• Possibility of using low purity argon. One of the key advantages of both models. Thanks to the innovative high-frequency power supply equipped with a high-speed matching function, these devices are able to work effectively with relatively inexpensive low-purity argon (99.95%). This solution allows to significantly reduce operating costs, as it is no longer necessary to use expensive high-purity gas.
• Advanced collision cell/reaction cell. The ICPMS-2040 is equipped with a collision cell that effectively eliminates spectral interferences using an inert gas (helium). This significantly improves the accuracy of the analysis and reduces the influence of unwanted signals. The ICPMS-2050 offers an additional ion reaction mode. This feature allows the use of specific reaction gases, such as a mixture of 10% ammonia and 90% helium, to further eliminate interferences when analyzing complex matrices. This approach achieves a high level of selectivity and accuracy even in the most difficult analytical tasks, making this model the ideal choice for applications with high data quality requirements.
• Interelement correction (IEC). This feature is available in both models, providing precise correction of spectral interferences that cannot be eliminated in collision mode. Thanks to IEC, the systems can automatically correct for the influence of interferences, which significantly increases the accuracy and reliability of the analysis, even in cases where interferences are difficult to eliminate with traditional methods. This makes both models even more efficient and versatile for a variety of analytical tasks.
• High-efficiency quadrupole mass filter. This filter is used in both instruments. It provides a stable signal over a long analysis time thanks to a unique charge stabilization technology. This technology guarantees the accuracy and reliability of the results, reducing the influence of possible changes in the mass filter and ensuring constant measurement quality even during long analytical studies on the instrument.
• High throughput. “High-speed gas purge” and “ProActive Rinsing”, these systems significantly reduce analysis time. “High-speed gas purge” ensures rapid removal of contaminants and residual elements, while “ProActive Rinsing” actively maintains the cleanliness of the system between measurements, avoiding interruptions and increasing analysis efficiency.
• Automated functions. The “Extended Rinse” feature automatically minimizes carryover between samples, ensuring high accuracy and repeatability of results. The “Dual Valve Block” allows the system to operate autonomously after plasma ignition, reducing the need for constant monitoring and operator intervention.
• Advanced analytical capabilities. The ICPMS-2040 provides high sensitivity and accuracy for a wide range of elements, making it a versatile tool for a variety of analytical tasks. The ICPMS-2050 offers increased sensitivity for complex elements thanks to its integrated reaction mode. This makes the model particularly effective for the analysis of semiconductors, pharmaceuticals and biological samples, where accuracy and sensitivity are critical.
• Flexibility of methods. The ICPMS-2040 allows for optimized analysis using collision mode, which helps reduce spectral interference and improve accuracy of results for a wide range of elements. The ICPMS-2050 provides even greater flexibility by offering the ability to switch between collision mode and reaction mode. This allows for tailoring analysis methods depending on the specifics of the elements being studied and the composition of the samples, making the system even more versatile and effective for a variety of analytical tasks.
• Software. Both models are equipped with advanced LabSolutions ICPMS software with “Assistant” and “Diagnostic Assistant” functions to automatically optimize analysis conditions and verify data validity.
• Regulatory compliance. Both models are FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliant, making them ideal for use in regulated industries.
