The Agilent Technologies 7500 Series ICP- MS (Agilent 7500) is
an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP- MS). It
can measure trace elements as low as one part per trillion (ppt)
or quickly scan more than 70 elements to determine the
composition of an unknown sample. The MassHunter
Workstation (or ChemStation) software automates the analysis
and accurately interprets the resulting data.
This chapter describes the principles of operation of the Agilent
7500 and it's components in detail. The chapter concludes with
a description of sampling options and peripheral equipment
that are available to extend the application range of the Agilent
7500.
