Abstract
Disclosed is a method of inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), comprising steps of introducing at least one sample comprising at least one sample species, and at least one reactive species, into an inductively coupled plasma source, such that at least one molecular adduct ion of the at least one reactive species and the at least one sample species is formed; transferring the at least one molecular adduct ion into a collision cell that is arranged between the inductively coupled plasma source and at least one mass analyzer, transferring the at least one molecular adduct ion, or a product thereof, into the at least one mass analyzer, and analyzing the mass of the at least one molecular adduct ion, or the product thereof, in the at least one mass analyzer. Also disclosed is a mass spectrometer that is adapted to perform the method.
