Product Information

The SampleSense Oil system provides high throughput, controlled sample mixing, positive confirmation of sample introduction and sample position, autosampler autocorrection, compatibility with multiple vial sizes, and stable performance, all while achieving three samples per minute.

prepMASS automatically dilutes oil and lubricant samples by weight for elemental ICP analysis. Using inert syringe technology, samples are precisely prepared from the source sample containers into the final diluted sample vials by means of an integrated and fully automated balance. Carryover is eliminated using disposable pipette tips and liquid level sensing for highly accurate and precise dilutions for a wide range of sample types. Upon completion of the weight dilution, a second transfer arm delivers the vial to the analysis rack and the dilution data is recorded.

After sensing and preparing each sample, prepFAST X triggers the ICP read to complete the analysis.

Electrolyte solutions used in lithium-ion batteries are analyzed utilizing an automated system (prepFAST IC) in combination with an ICPMS to determine accurate and precise amounts of Li salts and stabilizing agents. Liquid electrolytes are one of the main components that are used in Lithium-ion batteries. The electrolyte allows positively charged ions (typically Li ions) to move between the cathode and anode, and plays a crucial role in battery performance and lifespan. There are three components that make up the electrolyte: Li salt (e.g., LiPF₆), organic solvent (ethylene carbonate), and a stabilizing additive (e.g., LiPO₂F₂). Some of the common Li salts are LiPF₆, LiBF₄, and LiClO₄. This work will focus on a quick and easy analytical method for determining which Li salts (or Li species) and additives are present in each electrolyte.

Single particle-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (sp-ICPMS) has become an intriguing technique for understanding the elemental nature of nanoparticles (NPs). These nanoparticles have an impact in the food industry, environmental implications, and may pose toxic threats to biological life forms. The ability to detect these nanoparticles has improved over recent years, however, automation and the ability to analyze large sets of samples without compromising sensitivity, robustness, and transport efficiency has yet to be addressed. The microFAST Single Cell system in combination with the single cell sample introduction kit addresses this need for both single cell and single particle analyses.

Battery cathode materials are pressed into pellets and analyzed by laser ablation ICPOES (LA-ICP). Simplification of the sample preparation not only eliminates the need for the time-consuming, hazardous acid digestion steps, but also decreases the time from sample receipt to result to <5 minutes.

Biomonitoring and clinical testing are important for improving human health. These tests help public health officials or medical doctors monitor the levels of essential elements and assess exposure to toxic or potentially toxic elements within the human body. While a great deal of work has been published on biomonitoring and clinical analyses, the majority of the work has been performed with manual sample preparation. This work will explore the use of two different automation platforms for clinical analyses, one for high-throughput sampling of manually prepared blood samples and the second an inline whole blood preparation method with micro-volume sampling. The comparison and validation of these systems was carried out by analyzing 2019 New York Department of Health Proficiency Testing samples that had known reference ranges for the analytes of interest (Cd, Hg, Mn, Se, and Pb). In addition, the ICP-MS methods were calibrated using two different matrix options, purchased base blood and

The ability to introduce single cells into an ICPMS and measure the elemental content in each cell, or tagged to each cell, accurately takes a dedicated, well-designed sample introduction system. Having this ability allows for investigators to better understand how much of a specific nanoparticle, metallodrug, or metal-based compound enters the cell. These cells or nanoparticles will vary in size from a few nm’s up to a few 100 μm’s. The typical cell types of interest will vary and with that the stability of the cell-line also varies, such that a gentle, controlled nebulization must be employed in order to not disrupt or lyse the cell.
