Higher sensitivity and selectivity of your IC analysis

Ion chromatography systems from Metrohm are known for their robust design, accurate results, and excellent performance. When higher sensitivity and selectivity are needed for the analysis of carbohydrates, organic acids, and other ionic substances, the ion chromatographs can be coupled with mass spectrometers (IC-MS, IC-MS/MS) or inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometers (IC-ICP/MS, IC-ICP/MS/MS).

Ion Chromatography Mass Spectrometry is a robust and easy-to-use technique for the determination of analytes such as inorganic anions, organic acids, haloacetic acids, oxyhalides, or alkaline earth metals. Adding Metrohm Inline Sample Preparation (MISP) to the analysis allows not only water samples, but also chemicals, organic solvents, or post-explosion residues to be readily analyzed.

With IC-MS:

• peaks can be verified with two complimentary detection techniques
• molecules and fragments can be quantified
• unknown substances can be identified

Ion Chromatography Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry combines the selectivity of ion chromatography with the elemental selectivity and sensitivity of a high-end mass detector. The result is a powerful instrumental tool to handle trace elemental speciation, one of the most challenging analytical task, e.g., in environmental analysis, water quality control, pharmaceutical, and medical analysis, as well as the food and beverage industry.
