The iCAP Q ICP-MS customer experience

Dr Uwe Karst, Chair of analytical chemistry, University of Muenster Institute of Inorganic and Analytical Chemistry.

"Our applications, such as speciation of gadolinium-based MRI contrast agents, are highly demanding, and we require robust and sensitive instruments that enable us to push the boundaries of our work. We have our iCAP Qs running 24/7, often working with high organic content during HPLC hyphenation…It is so well designed that even changing plasma conditions during gradient elution can be easily tolerated by the instrument, improving detection limits, and saving time."
