Application of Teledyne Cetac’s Low Volume Injection Autosampler for ICP-MS

Scientific analysis, particularly in ICP-MS, requires the sampling and injection of decreasingly low liquid volumes, where traditional sample introduction is not always possible. This scientific poster illustrates the need for an ICP-MS autosampler that can precisely sample and inject microlitre and nanolitre sized aliquots. Teledyne Cetac's autosampler system is designed akin to the type of system that operates with a High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) system. The difference however is that each of the wetted parts are manufactured of non-metallic materials in order to be applicable to ICP-MS. Additionally, this system takes an aliquot and injects the entire sample into a sample loop, therefore no sample is ever wasted, such as is the case with a sample uptake line.
