We are pleased to announce that we have entered into a non-exclusive agreement that allows us to become a value-added reseller for Agilent single- and triple-quadrupole Mass Spectrometers (MS), ICP-MS products, software, and services in France, Spain, Switzerland, UK and Ireland.
This new partnership significantly expands the ion chromatography (IC) capabilities of Metrohm and opens numerous additional application possibilities, particularly in the environmental and food and beverage analysis markets.
Commonly, the hyphenation of HPLC with Mass Spectrometry has focused on the study of organic molecules. Hyphenating Ion Chromatography (IC) with Mass Spectrometry opens (MS) the field to highly sensitive analysis of ions, organic acids, carbohydrates, and other ionic substances in aqueous solutions or salt-containing matrices. Application examples include:
- HAA (Haloacetic acids for EPA 557)
- Oxyhalides (e.g., bromate, chlorate, and chlorite) in drinking water
- Inorganic anions (e.g., chloride and sulfate) in high-quality chemicals used, e.g., in the semiconductor industry
- Impurities (e.g., acetate, formate, and adipate) in chemical solutions
- Organic acids (e.g., glycolate and citrate) in body fluids or soft drinks
- Using IC-MS and IC-MS/MS multiple ionic substances can be sensitively and selectively quantified with one analysis. Metrohm Inline Sample Preparation (MISP) techniques improve method efficiency by automating the sample preparation, making even complex matrices suitable for analysis with sensitive high-end mass detectors.
Compatibility with OpenLab from Agilent together with VAR partnership signed with Agilent and with automated inline sample preparation make IC-MS and IC-MS/MS with Metrohm a one-of-a-kind solution.
