ABC Company News: ABC Adds iCAP Q ICP-MS to Mass Spec Capabilities

To better meet new regulatory requirements for elemental impurities and other trace analysis, ABC Laboratories has added Thermo’s high performance iCAP Qc Quadrupole ICP-MS Spectrometer to its fleet of mass spectrometers. ABC’s newest ICP instrument enables single mode analysis that covers the mass range of 4-290 amu, while delivering low abundance sensitivity and ultra-fast scanning. This is the same instrument that USP used to help develop new chapters <232> and <233>.

“ABC continually evaluates its technology to ensure we are meeting our clients’ needs and enhancing operational efficiency,” said Joe Troxell, ABC Vice President of Product Development Services. “While this purchase is part of our ongoing capital program, it’s made particularly important by new regulatory requirements for metals analysis in pharmaceuticals.”
