OpenLab ICP-MS Software

Support for the Agilent 9500 ICP‑MS

OpenLab ICP‑MS 1.1 fully supports the Agilent 9500 ICP‑QQQ, enabling single-quadrupole ICP‑MS users to access the power of triple-quadrupole ICP‑MS with a streamlined software experience.

The software is designed to simplify the use of advanced hardware technologies, providing intuitive control and optimized workflows, reducing the learning curve so your first run is right.

Redesigned dashboard for daily operation

Available for: All models supported by OpenLab ICP-MS 1.1, including Agilent 7800, 7850, and 7900 ICP-MS systems, and Agilent 8900 and 9500 ICP‑QQQ systems.

A newly designed dashboard provides a clear, workflow‑oriented overview of instrument status, maintenance, and system health.

• At‑a‑glance instrument status with color‑coded indicators
• Intuitive access to configuration, maintenance, and guided troubleshooting
• Early Maintenance Feedback (EMF) to reduce unplanned downtime

This redesigned interface helps users quickly assess instrument readiness, avoid unplanned downtime, and take action during routine operation.

Instrument Hub and guided diagnostics

Available for: All models supported by OpenLab ICP‑MS 1.1

OpenLab ICP‑MS introduces enhanced error management through the Instrument Hub and Diagnostics tools.

Highlights:

• Centralized health monitoring and diagnostics
• Guided troubleshooting with step‑by‑step support
• Automated analysis of system data during error events

For supported error scenarios such as plasma ignition failure, the system automatically logs and analyzes data, suggesting corrective actions.

Method Advisor for simplified ICP‑MS/MS workflows

Available for: Agilent 9500 ICP-MS

Method Advisor introduces an element‑centric workflow that simplifies method creation for ICP‑MS/MS analysis, especially for the 9500 ICP‑QQQ.

Users can build a method in three simple steps:

• Select target elements, with three options:

  • Manual selection
  • From a predefined element list, for example, USP <232> and EPA 6020
  • Import an element list from a CSV file

• Enter calibration information and basic sample details

• Automatically generate a complete method, including recommended cell gas modes, acquisition masses, and tuning conditions

Importing an element list from a CSV file enables seamless integration with alternative technologies and non-Agilent instruments.

With only minimal input, Method Advisor applies Agilent’s ICP‑MS/MS expertise to configure optimized measurement conditions.

Method Advisor simplifies method creation and lets users reuse existing element lists, helping them move from setup to measurement more efficiently and confidently.
