Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer (ICPMS), an import substitute, is a very versatile analytical instrument capable of trace and ultra-trace analysis and isotope ratio analysis in aqueous samples.

1. ICPMS is a compact, reliable and high sensitivity analytical tool consisting of an inductively coupled plasma ion source, quadrupole mass analyzer, rotary & turbomolecular pump for clean vacuum, easy sample introduction, channel electron multiplier detector and PC based interface & control.
2. Its sensitivity is 20x10⁶ counts per second per 1 ppm of Indium and detection limits are in the range of ppt to ppb for most of the elements across the periodic table.

1. ICPMS finds numerous applications in various fields like Nuclear, Environment, Geological, Forensic; industries like Semi-conductor, Chemical/ Pharmaceutical, Petro-chemical and Research & Development institutes.
