A New Method for Eliminating Argon Ion Species in ICP-MS to Enable Interference-Free Sample Analysis

FY 2023-24 · 2023-12-01

Summary
This project proposes a completely new method for total removal of argon interferences in ICP-MS which enables ultra-sensitive analysis of important elements based on their most abundant isotopes without the need for any complicated arrangements commonly used in conventional ICP-MS systems. This technology paves the road for a completely new compact ICP-MS technology that can offer rapid, ultra-sensitive, real-time elemental analysis for the first time with significant benefits to several sectors such as environmental, semiconductor, clinical, metals and mining, and geochemical. It will also lead to high paying technology jobs and contribute to Canada's economy through the production, sale, and export of high-tech instruments.

Description (French)
Ce projet propose une méthode entièrement nouvelle pour l’élimination totale des interférences de l’argon dans l’ICP-MS, qui permet une analyse ultra-sensible des éléments importants sur la base de leurs isotopes les plus abondants, sans qu’il soit nécessaire de recourir à des arrangements compliqués couramment utilisés dans les systèmes ICP-MS conventionnels. Cette technologie ouvre la voie à une toute nouvelle technologie ICP-MS compacte qui peut offrir pour la première fois une analyse élémentaire rapide, ultrasensible et en temps réel, avec des avantages significatifs pour plusieurs secteurs tels que l’environnement, les semi-conducteurs, les cliniques, les métaux et les mines, et la géochimie. Il conduira également à la création d’emplois technologiques bien rémunérés et contribuera à l’économie canadienne par la production, la vente et l’exportation d’instruments de haute technologie.
