The DRC-e brings the interference eliminating power of patented Dynamic Reaction Cell™ (DRC™) technology and performance-enhancing Axial Field™ Technology (AFT) to the industry-proven ELAN ICP-MS system. The result is uncompromised sensitivity and performance in a robust system designed for routine laboratories. The ELAN DRC-e uses chemical resolution to eliminate plasma-based polyatomic species before they reach the quadrupole mass spectrometer. This ion-molecule chemistry uses a reaction gas to “chemically scrub” polyatomic or isobaric species from the ion beam before they enter the analyzer, resulting in improved detection limits for traditionally difficult elements, including As, Cr, Fe, Se and others. And, unlike collision-cell, high-resolution or cool-plasma systems, the ELAN DRC-e system eliminates not only the primary interference; but also prevents the formation of new interferences, while maintaining analyte sensitivity – providing ultratrace level detection limits in virtually any matrix.
