ICP/MS Perkin Elmer Elan 6000
The ELAN 6000 is a fully computer-controlled laboratory instrument. A unique feature is the AutoLens ion optic system for “on-the-fly” computer controlled lens optimization. AutoLens allows every element in a mulrtielement analysis to be determined at its optimum lens voltage while the quadrupole is scanned, to achive maximum analyte ion signal with minimum matrix suppression. The thermostatically controled fast electronics allows for single point peak hopping. The dual-stage discrete dynode detector allows both high and low range signals to be measured simultaneously in a single scan.
This instrument was the first ICP-MS instrument with
•simultaneous extended dynamic range detector
•single scanning lens optimized for ICP-MS
•Windows NT software
•improved S/N through single-point peak hopping
