At the recent European Winter Conference on Plasma Spectrochemistry 2013 (EWCPS), Bruker launched the Aurora Elite, a new ultra-sensitive inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS). Complementing the updated workhorse Aurora M90 ICP-MS for routine laboratory analysis, the new Aurora Elite sets unprecedented and truly exceptional standards for sensitivity and matrix robustness.
The Aurora Elite boasts a host of performance enhancements and new features, with unprecedented 1.5 gigahertz per parts per million (1.5 GHz / ppm) sensitivity for precise and accurate quantification at single digit ppt levels and below, which makes the Aurora Elite the most sensitive ICP-MS instrument on the market. This incredible sensitivity makes it eminently suitable for the semiconductor, geochemistry, materials science and related applications. The lowest oxide ratios using its patented turner-interlaced coils ensures robust plasma conditions for complete matrix decomposition, all without the requirement of a plasma shield or guard electrode.
