An inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer built into a controlled-atmosphere glove box, so samples that cannot meet room air, air-sensitive, hazardous or radiologically controlled material, are introduced without leaving containment.
Key features
- Integrates trace-element mass spectrometry with a sealed glove-box work area.
- A stainless-steel enclosure and transfer chamber maintain the controlled sample boundary.
- Reserved utility interfaces support a site-specific gas and containment configuration.
- Closed operation platform
- Customized glove box
- Stable,reliable analysis instrument
Applications
Built for nuclear, battery and air-sensitive materials laboratories.
- The glove box type automatic analyzer can be applied in the detection of radioactive samples in the nuclear industry, the detection of biological protective samples in the disease control and epidemic prevention, the detection and analysis under the environments, such as the anaerobic, vacuum and negative pressure environments, in geology and mineral exploration, as well as the detection and analysis of sterile environment in biopharmaceuticals.
Choosing the right configuration
Match the sample matrix and target elements to the required detection limits, sample-introduction hardware, gas supply, exhaust, cooling, and data-system configuration. ConductScience confirms these items against the proposed method before the system is quoted.

ICP-MS glove box callout
- The ICP-MS is combined with the glove box to provide high analysis speed, high sensitivity and strong interference elimination, which can fulfill the determination of the concentration levels, from ppb to ppt, for 75 types of metal elements and some nonmetallic elements.
What does this instrument measure, and who is it for?
It measures trace elements in samples that require sealed transfer, controlled atmosphere, or protective containment. It is built for nuclear, battery and air-sensitive materials laboratories. It is a benchtop instrument intended for continuous laboratory duty, with a plumbed gas supply and extraction over the source.
What measurement principle does it use?
The sample-introduction path and plasma interface remain inside a sealed glove-box boundary. The plasma forms ions, the ion optics transfer them across the containment interface, and a quadrupole mass analyzer separates them by mass-to-charge ratio.
Which specifications are confirmed?
The specification table lists sixteen confirmed ordering parameters for this instrument. Use them to compare the operating range, utilities, and analytical performance required by the method. They include Direct high-salt sample introduction at 10%, Light-mass detection limit at <3 ppt and Medium-mass detection limit at <0.1ppt.
What should be confirmed before ordering?
Confirm argon supply and purity, exhaust extraction over the torch or spark stand, single-phase power and breaker rating, bench load rating, and cooling water where the design requires it. These are configured and quoted per installation, so raise anything unusual about the site during quote review rather than after delivery.
What else is needed to run it?
A microwave digestion system, unless your samples already arrive in solution. Elemental analysis is only as good as the dissolution that preceded it, and an incomplete digest reports a low result with no indication that anything went wrong.
How is it supplied?
This instrument is configured and quoted per installation rather than sold at a list price. Request a quote and we will confirm the configuration, the site requirements and the lead time before anything is ordered.
