Frequently asked questions

What is the primary function of the Agilent 7500ce ICP-MS when using Helium Collision Mode?

It removes all polyatomic species based on their size rather than their relative reactivity with a reaction gas.

How much Helium gas flow rate is required for the collision mode measurements?

5.5 mL/min of Helium gas only was added to the cell.

What specific condition must be met regarding ion energy for He collision mode to work properly?

The energy of all ions entering the cell must be very tightly controlled.
