ICP-MS Skimmer Cones
ICP-MS skimmer cones form part of the interface region between the atmospheric Argon plasma and the high vacuum quadrupole MS. Skimmer cones have an orifice or aperture at their tip to transmit the analyte ions to the high vacuum MS. Agilent skimmer cones with nickel or platinum tip have a customized tip geometry for your Agilent ICP-MS model and configuration.
The best analytical performance and signal stability is achieved with tight control of Agilent skimmer cone tip operating temperature to control matrix deposition. Only genuine Agilent skimmer cones with 100% quality control inspection ensure the analytical performance you expect from your Agilent ICP-MS.

Product Details
Features
- Genuine Agilent interface cones come with 100% quality inspection and deliver superior sensitivity across the mass range
- Nickel skimmer cones are suitable for most common applications and provide the most economical operation
- Platinum skimmer cones are required for analysis of aggressive acids (especially HF) and when O2/Ar option gas is used for analysis of organic solvents
- Platinum skimmer with copper base is recommended for the lowest LODs and for higher matrix samples
- Platinum skimmer with nickel base is recommended for organics analysis
- Use Nickel skimmers with a stainless-steel skimmer base and Pt-tipped skimmers with a brass skimmer base to ensure the correct operating temperature
- Our handy ICP-MS interface cone magnifier tool (5190-9614) makes inspection of your cone orifice simple for reliable cone performance
