Bruker Continues its Product Innovation for Trace Elemental Detection with Launch of aurora Elite ICP-MS

At the European Winter Conference on Plasma Spectrochemistry
2013 (EWCPS), Bruker launches the aurora Elite, a new
ultra-sensitive Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer
(ICP-MS). Complementing the now 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, even exceeding the performance of expensive
magnetic sector field ICP-MS systems in many aspects, and far
exceeding the sensitivity of all other quadrupole ICP-MS systems on
the market today.

The EWCPS conference focuses on major topics of analytical
plasma spectrochemistry, with Bruker experts and customers
presenting a series of posters and talks illustrating the
capabilities, applications and innovative design of both the now
further enhanced aurora M90 and the new addition to the Bruker
ICP-MS family, the aurora Elite. Topics covered by the posters and
oral presentations include:
- 3D Ion Optics for ICP-MS
- Ion Optics for ICP-MS
- Mini Collision Cell for ICP-MS
- Isotope Ratio Determinations: High
Sensitivity for Highest Precision
- Combining Highest Sensitivity with
Selectivity for Quadrupole ICP-MS
- Advantages of High Sensitivity ICP-MS
for Laser Ablation
- Measuring 26Mg/24Mg and 44Ca/40Ca
Isotope Ratios in Environmental Samples by Q-ICP-MS
- Determination of Hg in Environmental
Waters Using the Bruker aurora M90 in High Sensitivity Mode
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.
The combination of the aurora Elite’s high sensitivity with the
all-digital detector delivers excellent results for isotope ratio
determinations of low concentrations and for large ratios, and this
is true for liquids and solids. The combination of the aurora
Elite’s GHz sensitivity with very short integration times makes
this an ideal instrument for the analysis of nanoparticles at the
smallest dimensions. The incorporation of an easy-to-use Collision
Reaction Interface (CRI II) provides a solution for simple, robust,
maintenance-free interference challenges, with the convenience of
either Helium- or Hydrogen mode, for improved detection limits of
spectrally interfered isotopes and highest accuracy.
The expanded ICP-MS range from Bruker, including the enhanced
aurora M90 and the new aurora Elite, now also offer 21 CFR Part 11
compliance to meet the requirements of pharmaceutical, biotech and
CRO customers.
Dr. Meike Hamester, Director ICP-MS Global Market Development
and Product Management at Bruker’s Chemical and Applied Markets
(CAM) Division, commented:
“The introduction of the most sensitive ICP-MS on the market
provides an instrument that powers the business of quantification.
Sensitivity is the key when low detection limits are the goal and
the aurora Elite will be the enabler allowing trace elemental
analysts to redefine their application boundaries.”
