Explore MS/MS and ICP innovations for elemental and isotopic analysis
Geological studies often require accurate and precise determination of the isotopic composition of various terrestrial materials, such as rock, soil, and water samples. MC-ICP-MS is commonly used to detect minimal isotopic variations in such samples, while ICP-OES or ICP-MS are used for screening their elemental compositions. In this seminar we will explore:
1. Lessons-learned and best practices for the Thermo Scientific™ Neoma™ MC-ICP-MS - first commercially available MC-ICP-MS which can be equipped with MS/MS technology. Now that a few years have passed since its introduction, we would like to discuss how the existing technology can best be used to take advantage of the new opportunities in the field of MC-ICP-MS, thereby highlighting key benefits of the Neoma MC-ICP-MS such as its high sensitivity, its wide dynamic range, its versatility and its capability to deal with a variety of interferences. We will put a special focus on new features, especially in Thermo Scientific™ Qtegra™ ISDS Software, and how these can help overcome initial challenges and assist easier instrument setup.
2. Exciting new hardware and software innovations for the Thermo Scientific™ iCAP™ PRO Series ICP-OES and the Thermo Scientific™ iCAP™ MX Series ICP-MS (single and triple quadrupole mass spectrometers) – helping to drive productivity and efficiency in your daily analytical workflows. Modern ICP-OES systems offer low detection limits, often in the μg·L-1 range for many elements and can detect multiple elements in a single exposure, leading to very quick run times even for tough matrices such as seawaters and brines containing high total dissolved solids (TDS) or highly acidic or alkaline matrices like rock and soil digests and extracts. Modern ICP-MS systems go a step further, in that they help unlock a higher level of sensitivity with detection possible in the ng·L-1 range while also offering the capability to easily run highly complex and high TDS samples by employing techniques like online gas dilution with other innovative solutions.

Mastering high precision isotope ratio analysis using Orbitrap IRMS: a practical guide to develop and optimize novel methodologies
Isotope ratio analysis with Orbitrap™ technology has shown that by utilizing electrospray ionization we can access new intermolecular isotopic information that provides better understanding of the processes of molecule formation. But how does it work? Where do you start? And how do you optimize your analytical approach?
This seminar is designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills necessary to push the boundaries of isotope ratio analysis using Orbitrap technology. Join us in this informative session where we provide a step-by-step guide for performing multi-elemental and intramolecular stable isotope analysis using Thermo Scientific™ Orbitrap Exploris™ Isotope Solutions.
Key learnings:
- Sample Introduction Techniques: Explore various methods of sample introduction to enhance the accuracy and reliability of your isotope ratio analysis.
- Tuning and Optimization of Ionization and Orbitrap MS Parameters: Learn how to fine-tune critical parameters such as AGC Target, resolution, and microscans to achieve optimal performance.
- Data Acquisition Strategies: Understand the best practices for acquiring high-quality data in isotope analysis, including setting up full scan and fragmentation experiments.
- Data Processing Techniques: Understand the strategies for processing and analyzing your data to ensure precise and accurate results.
