IC/MS Systems

Discover New Levels of Sensitivity and Specificity

Supply results for even the most difficult samples. Identify analytes that you or your customers may not have known about due to lack of separation or detection in conventional IC. Adding a second dimension to your method provides a whole new level of information. Not just any MS delivers these results. Low-mass species, such as many small ions, require instrument refinements. The MSQ^TM Plus with its enhanced low-mass capabilities delivers results for small ions critical to you. Low-mass response is improved 10- to 100-fold for ions with m/z below 100. Need even more sensitivity? Use the classic preconcentration and matrix elimination techniques available with Dionex high-capacity columns. Determining organic acids in pharmaceutical preparations, cation and amines in industrial chemicals, or perchlorate in groundwater are only a few of the applications that become routine with IC/MS.

The MSQ^TM  Plus is the smallest and most sensitive single quadrupole MS detector on the market for both LC and IC. It features a newly designed self-cleaning triple orthogonal Atmospheric Pressure Ionization (API) source for outstanding sensitivity and noise reduction. The MSQ Plus is compatible with existing LC and IC methods, especially those including salts, ion-pairing agents, and dirty matrices. It’s more sensitive, rugged, powerful, easier to use, and smaller than any other instrument of its kind.
