The NexION® 5000 ICP-MS, with multi-quadrupole technology and Universal Cell, is able to take full advantage of element reactivity with 100% pure gases by analyzing them as cluster ions at higher masses where no interferences reside, and the background is clean. The Universal Cell, thanks to its quadrupole design in combination with dynamic bandpass tuning, provides the unique ability of controlling desirable reactions, promoting some weak reactions, rejecting interferences, and preventing side reactions from taking place.
