ICP-MS spectrometers — selection and configuration
ICP-MS uses argon plasma to ionise samples and a mass analyser to separate ions by mass-to-charge ratio. Applications include trace element determination and isotope analysis in water, materials and prepared laboratory samples.
Select equipment and request a quotation
State your method, workload and required options to prepare a comparable quotation.
Selection parameters
- Target elements, concentrations and sample matrices.
- Mass analyser type and spectral interference control.
- Collision or reaction cells and operating gases.
- Sample introduction, autosampler and acid resistance.
- Reagent purity, sample preparation, cooling and extraction.
Also compare ICP-OES spectrometers for optical emission analysis. Required sensitivity should be assessed for the specific method and matrix.
Compare three ICP-MS systems
| Model | Key differences |
|---|---|
| Shimadzu ICPMS-2030 | Single-quadrupole system; m/z 5–260; Mini-Torch; octopole He cell; LabSolutions ICPMS |
| Agilent 7850 | Single quadrupole; He cell; UHMI for matrices up to 25% TDS under appropriate conditions; IntelliQuant |
| Agilent 8900 | Tandem ICP-MS/MS; Q1 and Q2; four cell-gas channels; selective reaction modes |
The UHMI capability up to 25% TDS depends on matrix, sample preparation, configuration and method. It is not a universal guarantee for every sample or analyte.

Manufacturer information and documents
Check the version, supply region and document revision. A series page may describe options that are not included in the specific configuration.
Configuration, pricing and procurement
For a quotation, specify the required configuration, number of instruments, installation city and services needed. Agree options, consumables, commissioning and staff familiarisation separately. Documentation, delivery times and warranty terms are specified in the quotation and contract. See the model page for its current price or quotation request option.
Questions before selection and procurement
Which models are listed?
Shimadzu ICPMS-2030 · Agilent 7850 · Agilent 8900.
When is ICP-MS/MS needed?
In the 8900, the first quadrupole selects ions before the reaction cell and the second analyzes ions after it, adding interference control. Confirm the benefit for a specific task using the method, analytes, matrix and required detection limits.
What should be specified in the supply package?
Agree sample introduction, cones, cooling, gases and regulators, autosampler, dilution, computer and licences. ICP Go and specialized configurations are not automatically included. A quotation requires the element list, matrices and daily sample throughput.
How can a fixed price be obtained?
Agree the exact equipment and option list, installation, training and service. A fixed price is established for a confirmed specification; each product page provides a quotation request.
