1 ChikyukagakuGeochemistry ICP-MS Fundamental of collision/reaction cell ICP-MS Katsuhiko KAWABATA IAS Inc. 4th Floor, No.5 Ikeda building, Higashi, Kunitachi, Tokyo , Japan Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) has been an indispensable tool for analysis of metals at ultra trace level. Looking back upon the history of ICP-MS, how to increase the sensitivity with lower background and how to eliminate interferences have been major research themes. Various techniques have been developed to eliminate interferences, and the most popular technique for a time being is collision cell and reaction cell technologies. These two techniques are similar, but they are in fact completely different in terms of the way of interference elimination. In addition, there is another important differentiation in terms of elimination of by-product ions generated in the cell. In this paper, a principle of collision and reaction cell technologies will be described.

Mass Spectroscopy. Base peak. Molecular Ion peak. The positively charged fragments produced are separated, based on their mass/charge (m/z) ratio. M+. Mass spectrometry is the study of systems causing the formation of gaseous ions, with or without fragmentation, which are then characteried by their mass to charge ratios (m/) and relative abundances.
