The 7500ce meets the demands of the routine trace metal analytical lab that require high performance from reliable, robust and simple to use instrumentation. The 7500ce offers unmatched detection power in the most challenging sample matrices found in the environmental industry. It is equally suited to the toughest analytical challenges found in the clinical, foods, petrochemical, metals, pharmaceutical, forensic and geological industries. New features include a simple-to-use Octopole Reaction System (ORS) for interference removal in complex sample matrices, allowing the:

• direct analysis of key elements in estuarine and open ocean seawater
• ultratrace measurement of Se and Se isotope ratio analysis in biological sample matrices
• ultratrace measurement of As, Se and Cr in clinical sample matrices

The 7500ce incorporates a new digital-drive RF generator that supplies the ICP RF power. This generator improves coupling efficiency resulting in a higher temperature and more stable plasma for more reproducible analyses. The sample introduction system comprises a quartz torch and a quartz double-pass spray chamber fitted with a highly efficient and precise MicroMist concentric nebulizer for excellent sensitivity and stability. The 7500ce’s completely new ion optic is optimized for analyzing high matrix samples.

As a result of these technological enhancements, analytes can be measured at trace levels even in matrices with high levels of dissolved solids (100’s-1000’s mg/L of Na, K, Ca, Mg, and Cl). In addition, the ion optic can be removed easily and replaced with the ion optic system used in the 7500cs, without the need to vent the vacuum system. This gives users added flexibility and capability to analyze all sample-types.

Plasma and cell gasses are controlled by a new, Agilent-designed Active Mass Flow Control system, and ICP RF power is supplied by Agilent’s new digital-drive RF generator offering higher coupling efficiency. The new ICP-MS is also ready-configured to meet strict worldwide regulatory requirements including US EPA methods.
