Agilent 7500c ICP-MS Application Note for Trace Metal Analysis in Drinking Water

Agilent 7500c ICP-MS can meet the regulatory requirements for trace metals in drinking water around the world. Elements previously relegated to other techniques, such as GFAA or ICP-OES due to very high or low concentrations or the presence of interferences, can now be measured in a single analysis.

Frequently asked questions

Which regulatory standards does the Agilent 7500c ICP-MS meet for drinking water?

The system meets requirements from US EPA, EU Council Directive 98/83/EC, Japan Water Supply Act, and WHO Guidelines.

What technology allows the Agilent 7500c to eliminate interferences?

The Octopole Reaction System (ORS) uses collision/reaction cell technology to virtually eliminate polyatomic interferences.

Can the Agilent 7500c measure both ultra-trace and high-concentration elements simultaneously?

Yes, by using passive collisions in the ORS to reduce ion current for high concentration elements like Na and Ca while maintaining sensitivity for trace analytes.
