ICP-MS is the synergistic combination of an ICP with a mass spectrometer. ICP-MS offers the benefits of speed of analysis along with lowest detections limits to laboratories performing trace metal determinations. The detection limits are at or below parts per trillion (ppt) range are achievable with ICP-MS.The technique is much faster than AAS and graphite furnace AAS for determinations of multiple elements per sample. As many as 85 elements in a sample can be analysed in 2-3 minutes.
Our laboratory is equipped with Perkin Elmer DRC-e model ICP-MS along with dynamic reaction cell which completely eliminates interferences thus providing ultra trace detection capabilities even in difficult matrices such as wastewaters, soils, sea water and clinical samples.
The facility has been needful for analysis of wide ranging samples such as Ayurvedic products, foods and natural products such as milk, honey, drugs and drinking water.
We have successfully developed and validated methods for quantification of inorganic impurities in a number of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients and Formulations as per ICH guidelines.
