Minimum Clinical Performance Requirements

Radio Frequency Generator – The radio frequency (RF) generator provides a constant source of energy to maintain the plasma.

A sample inter face – The sample interface is a crucial part of the ICP-MS, comprising a pair of water-cooled cones that allow ions from the sample to enter the high vacuum region. The sampler cone allows only the central channel of the plasma (where the sample ions are formed) into the intermediate vacuum region.

Mass Analyzer – Once they pass through the high vacuum region, elemental masses of the sample are separated using a mass analyzer. There are two types of mass analyzer typically used in ICP- MS, quadrupole and magnetic sector.

Magnetic sector mass analyzer – A magnetic sector mass analyzer works by applying a force on charged ions as they pass through a magnetic field.

Ion detection – After mass separation, ions must be detected and amplified in order to determine their intensities. Two types of detector are typically used: Faraday cups and electron multipliers.

ICP Mass Spectrometer must meet the following specifications:

- Mass range 1-285 amu

- Collision/Reaction cell with scanning triple quadrupole
