Mass Spectrometry

Elemental Mass Spectroscopy

The novelty is to use mass spectrometry to switch radiolabeling and radioactivity measurements, which represent up-to-now the gold standard to live chemical compound concentrations in bioscience. The capacity of ICP-MS to produce high-resolution quantitation of metallic and hetero elements. In contrast to molecular mass spectrometry that produces ions from entire organic entities, elemental mass spectrometry, referred to as inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), operates at very high temperatures (up to 8000 K) allowing to interrupt all chemical bonds.
