Analytical capabilities of an inductively coupled plasma Mattauch–Herzog mass spectrometer

Inductively Coupled Plasma–Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) for Quantitative Analysis in Environmental and Life Sciences: A Review of Challenges, Solutions, and Trends

“…In contrast to the DRC approach, this device shows comparable operation modes, as known from the frequently used ESI triple quadrupole instrumentation, such as neutral gain scan, product ion scan, or precursor ion scan, which allows an improved reduction in interference as well as better control of the gas-phase reactions or even completely new detection schemes to handle specific interferences. 88 Also during the last decade multicollector sector field ICP-MS (MC-ICP-MS) and more recently Mattauch-Herzog (MH-ICP-MS) [89][90][91] instruments have gained much attention, as they allow, for example, the accurate determination of isotopic ratios or the fully simultaneous acquisition of the entire m/ z range covered by the elements of the periodic table. These technological developments strongly promote applications such as marine geochemistry, geochronology, cosmochemistry, or provenance studies.…”

GGR Biennial Critical Review: Analytical Developments Since 2010

“…The continuing efforts to develop a double‐focusing sector field ICP‐MS employing a Mattauch‐Herzog geometry (as opposed to the conventional Nier‐Johnson geometry, Figure ) and a detector covering a large mass range (e.g., Solyom et al . , Schilling et al . ) have recently resulted in the first commercial product by Spectro Analytical Instruments.…”

Use of a novel array detector for the direct analysis of solid samples by laser ablation inductively coupled plasma sector-field mass spectrometry

“…An in-house-built Mattauch-Herzog mass spectrograph (MHMS) was used in all experiments [25][26][27]. This instrument has been coupled to several ionization sources, including both dc and pulsed glow discharges (GD) [21,28], a microwave plasma torch (MPT) [29], and an ICP [27].…”

“…This instrument has been coupled to several ionization sources, including both dc and pulsed glow discharges (GD) [21,28], a microwave plasma torch (MPT) [29], and an ICP [27]. Since the ICP-MHMS has been described previously, only the operating parameters pertinent to the present experiment will be detailed.…”

“…In previous experiments with solution nebulization, the ICP-MHMS has demonstrated a precision of better than 0.007% RSD with FPC detection [32] and values near 0.5% RSD with single channel detection [27]. To determine the precision of the instrument with LA sample introduction, the laser was operated at 20 Hz with an energy of 5 mJ pulse Ϫ1 .…”
