This article introduces the High Matrix Introduction system for Agilent 7500ce ICP-MS, which allows the analysis of soil samples without the need for dilution and with slightly improved method detection limits. This system improves productivity and reduces costs.
Agilent developed the High Matrix Introduction (HMI) accessory as an alternative to conventional dilution for Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). The HMI modifies the sample introduction system of the Agilent 7500 Octopole Reaction System (ORS) ICP-MS, enabling the direct measurement of sample solutions with total dissolved solids (TDS) exceeding 1%.

It eliminates the disadvantages associated with dilution, such as contamination risk, human error, increased sample prep time, and waste disposal volume.
Yes, it removes the need for expensive platinum cones when analyzing high acid concentrations.
