Agilent Technologies Triple Quadrupole ICP-MS Selected for R&D 100 Award

Agilent Technologies Inc have announced that the 8800 Triple Quadrupole ICP-MS has been named an R&D 100 Award winner. These prestigious awards recognise the 100 most technologically significant products introduced into the marketplace over the past year.

安捷伦光谱产品副总裁Philip Binns表示:“安捷伦8800三重四极ICP-MS是一项突破性的创新，重新定义了超微量元素分析的可能性。“8800 ICP-QQQ在上市第一年就获得了强劲的应用，并在元素分析领域定义了一个新的细分领域。我们的光谱学部门连续两年获得该奖项，我们感到很荣幸。”

Unlike existing instruments, the Agilent 8800 is the only ICP-MS system with a tandem mass spectrometer, or MS/MS, configuration. Using a high-performance quadrupole before and after the collision/reaction cell, the 8800 precisely controls the ions in the instrument, allowing the user to resolve the most difficult interferences and obtain the highest sensitivity results of any ICP-MS.

The Agilent 8800 enables scientists and chemists to solve challenging analytical problems that have proven difficult for conventional ICP-MS systems in traditional markets such as semiconductors, environmental and food. Additionally, the 8800 offers new research capabilities providing scientists new application possibilities in fields such as life sciences.

The R&D 100 Awards have long been a benchmark of excellence for industry sectors as diverse as telecommunications, high-energy physics, software, manufacturing and biotechnology. Winners are selected by an independent judging panel and the editors of R&D Magazine.
