Temporally and spatially resolved multi-element information at the micro- and nano-scale: development of new analytical methods and their application to metallomics and nanotechnology Ghent University
To date, most ICP – mass spectrometers are equipped with a “scanning-type” mass analyzer (quadrupole filter, sector-field MS). In the case of short transient signals, this may restrict elemental analysis to a single-nuclide approach. Recently, a new type of ICP-time-of-flight-MS (ICP-TOFMS) was developed, enabling quasi-simultaneous monitoring of the full mass spectrum (21 000 full mass spectra /s) and a fast read-out of the signals. Both ...
