Ion Lenses for ICP-MS

On the 7700, 7800, 7850, 7900, 8800, 8900 ICP-MS systems, the ion lenses play a critical role in separating ions from photons and residual neutral species. This ensures the lowest background signal, highest sensitivity, and efficient interference removal for accurate trace-level analysis.The Agilent ICP lens assembly features a high-transmission, off-axis ICP Omega lens, precisely tuned for optimal performance across the mass range. This advanced design enhances ion focusing and improves signal stability across diverse sample types.Replacement ion lens assemblies and individual ICP lens components are available for routine maintenance and system optimization. Configurations include the ICP x-lens for general purpose applications, the ICP s-lens for semiconductor analysis requiring cool plasma, and the ICP m-lens for semiconductor applications without Cool Plasma.Agilent’s flexible ICP lens configurations allow users to tailor their ICP-MS setup to specific analytical needs, ensuring consistent, high-quality results.
