Introduction
Safe drinking water is vital for human health, necessitating rigorous monitoring to ensure its quality. Detecting trace elements in drinking water poses significant challenges, as its composition varies due to both geological factors and human activities. In this presentation, PerkinElmer’s Aaron Hineman explores the application of the NexION® 1100 ICP-MS with proprietary Universal Collision-Reaction Gas Technology for the analysis of drinking water. This technology offers improved sensitivity, accuracy, precision, and stability versus standalone Collision, essential for meeting stringent regulatory standards. Performance will be demonstrated through calibration validation, certified reference materials, and spiked tap water samples, showcasing the method's robustness for routine compliance testing.
