Mass Spectrometry and Separations: aurora M90TM: this new platform is taking ICP-MS to a new level of sensitivity, dynamic range and productivity for environmental, industrial, and applied markets. The novel aurora M90 combines the unique and updated CRI IITM collision reaction interface for interference elimination, and a new NitroxTM 500 accessory to lower limits of detection (LOD) on key elements like As and Se even further. The aurora M90 incorporates a patented 90o ion mirror optics and unique curvedfringe rods with unsurpassed sensitivity and low background noise for industry-leading detection limits. The aurora M90 also features the world’s only fully digitised ICP-MS detector, covering a full nine decades of dynamic range in pulse counting mode, thus delivering fast and accurate multielement
analysis from ultra-trace to major levels in a single measurement. The aurora M90 universal analysis mode provides fast and accurate results for samples routinely encountered across the wide range of environmental and industrial monitoring processes where ICP-MS is the technology of choice.
