With its newly developed collision cell and optimized internal structure, the Shimadzu ICPMS-2030 provides superior sensitivity. At the same time, thanks to the adoption of its proprietary mini-torch unit and provision of an Eco mode, the quantity of argon gas needed for analyses has been greatly reduced to the industry’s lowest levels. As a result, low running costs are assured. The Development Assistant function of the software automatically sets the optimal analysis conditions for quantitative analysis. Then, after measurements are complete, the Diagnosis Assistant function automatically checks the validity of the necessary data. While reducing the burden on the user, the efficiency of analyses is enhanced and the reliability of the data can be increased. It complies with FDA 21 CFR Part 11.
ICPMS-2030 overview
Two Assistant Functions Simplify Analysis
The Development Assistant simplifies the process of developing analytical methods. The Diagnosis Assistant automatically diagnoses spectral interference. Together, they provide analytical results with exceptionally high reliability.
- Development Assistant: Creating analytical methods for ICPMS-2030 Series analysis involves only selecting the measured and target elements, even for samples being analyzed for the first time. Then, based on the qualitative analysis data (for all mass numbers) from a representative sample, the Development Assistant automatically selects the optimal mass numbers and internal standard elements for the target measurement elements and automatically specifies the concentration range for calibration curve samples.
- Diagnosis Assistant: The Diagnosis Assistant automatically diagnoses spectral interference, based on data measured from all mass numbers. Even when using an already established method for routine analysis, the software analyzes data for any spectral interference to determine if a problem occurred.
Higher Sensitivity and Lower Interference
- Achieve High-Sensitivity and Low-interference Analyses Using Newly Developed Collision Cell: With this newly developed collision cell, polyatomic ions that previously may have been detected as spectral interference are efficiently eliminated by helium gas flowing through the cell, allowing the high-sensitivity analysis.
- On-Line IEC (Inter-Element Correction): Shimadzu’s proprietary On-Line IEC (Inter Element Correction) provides correction for spectral interference that could not be eliminated with the collision cell. Since the interference correction coefficient can be acquired only by a single measurement of a standard sample of the interfering element, the correction can be simply and accurately made. There’s no need for complicated assessments of conditions, as with reaction cell technology.

LCMS-TQ RX Series Overview
- Improving data reliability with high stability and measurement sensitivity
In mass spectrometers that ionize samples by spraying them, the uniformity of the spray affects the stability of measurements. The LCMS-TQ RX Series uses a newly developed CoreSpray nozzle in the ion source to make the spray uniform, thus improving the stability of analytical data. In addition, IonFocus* utilizes fluid analysis and electric field analysis technology to efficiently introduce ions into the MS, removing contaminant components and achieving a higher measurement sensitivity. - Streamlines lab operations through automatic calibration
The PERFORMANCE CONCIERGE function automatically checks the device status (e.g. mass accuracy, spectral intensity) before measurement begins and fine-tunes the device as needed. Optimal performance is thereby assured and downtime reduced. - Optimizes power consumption to reduce energy use and cost
In ecology mode, the instrument monitors its status and automatically shuts down when the device is not in use. Conventionally, the inside of the instrument continues to be heated even after measurements are finished. By minimizing this, power consumption is reduced by approximately 31 %.
* This proprietary Shimadzu ion source provides high sensitivity and durability by eliminating contaminant components. It does so through the efficient intake of ions to the mass spectrometer, utilizing the techniques of fluid and electric field analysis. Conventionally, only the LCMS-8060NX was equipped with this.

* Argon plasma is a state of argon gas where it is ionized by adding energy, allowing it to interact with other elements for various scientific applications such as ICP-MS.
Advanced tools that do more with less
Shimadzu’s ICPMS-2040 and ICPMS-2050 provide approximately twice the measuring sensitivity of conventional models through the use of the uniquely designed Mini-Torch System to generate plasma. The ICPMS-2050 achieves even greater sensitivity for specific elements through a special new mechanism for removing unnecessary ions. In addition, both models reduce argon gas consumption to approximately two thirds of the consumption of comparable instruments. They also provide for a more efficient workflow by incorporating as standard a variety of functions to support users and minimize operator intervention.
Key Features
- Significantly improved environmental performance and high sensitivity
The newly designed plasma torch (Mini-Torch System) used in the ICPMS-2040 and ICPMS- 2050 achieves high-sensitivity measurements while using only a small amount of argon gas. Consumption can be further reduced by operating in eco mode whenever data is not being acquired. The ICPMS-2050 is also equipped with a reaction mode which removes ions other than target ions by causing a reaction of hydrogen gas and other materials. This enables even greater sensitivity measurements of specific elements.
- Significantly improved measurement efficiency and reliable data
Conventional ICP-MS measurements can be time-consuming: to replace the gas used, to remove unnecessary ions and to rinse the instrument. The ICPMS-2040/2050 models shorten measurement times by incorporating a newly designed gas controller to replace gas quickly. In addition, by using the ProActive Rinsing function, the sample is measured while the sample-suctioning flow line is rinsed simultaneously. As a result, reliable data can be acquired efficiently even when over 100 samples are measured sequentially.
- Pre-programmed settings for easy use and immediate start
Shimadzu’s ICPMS-2040/2050 models include – as standard – conditions for typical measurements and instrument settings for the pharmaceutical, environmental and food industries. This allows users to start analyses immediately after installation of the instrument, with only minimal training. The instruments also come fully equipped with additional functions that simplify workflow operations, including an extended rinsing function for automatically adding and executing rinsing after high-concentration samples are measured.
The ICPMS-2040/2050 series models are the latest in Shimadzu’s tireless development of precision instruments that increase analytic performance while reducing the time, cost, complexity and environmental impact of the essential lab work at the heart of modern science and industry.
