Agilent Technologies Inc. introduces the Agilent 7500ce inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) system for trace metals analysis in environmental applications. The new system is up to five times more sensitive than its predecessor, providing low parts per trillion (ppt) detection in a wide range of difficult samples, from wastewater to foods to biological specimens. It is designed to meet the strictest U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and worldwide regulatory requirements. Environmental samples often contain very low concentrations of the analyte of interest and high levels of interfering elements. These "dirty" samples have presented an analytical challenge for typical ICP-MS instruments. However, the Agilent 7500ce ICP-MS is specifically designed for environmental applications, providing the highest sensitivity, interference reduction and stability for complex, high-matrix samples.
