Device Name / Brand / Model
• Name: ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer)
• Brand: Shimadzu
• Model: 2030

Overview
ICP-MS is a highly sensitive analytical technique used for qualitative and quantitative determination of one or more elements in samples. It ionizes elements at the atomic level and analyzes them using a mass spectrometer. It can deliver very low detection limits down to the ppt range for trace-element and isotope analyses, providing high sensitivity and accuracy. ICP-MS is widely used across environmental testing, biomedical research, food safety, and materials science applications.

At Boğaziçi CT³, ICP-MS plays a critical role in the services we provide—especially in pharmaceutical, medical device, and bioanalytical groups. Using this technology, we perform trace-element impurity testing in APIs and excipients, assess metal contamination in materials used for medical devices, and conduct trace metal analyses in biological matrices (plasma, serum, urine, etc.), supporting pharmacokinetic and toxicokinetic evaluations.

Purpose / Output
• Qualitative and quantitative trace-element analysis
• Isotope analysis (with appropriate methods and standards)
• High-sensitivity measurements with detection limits down to ppt levels
• Contamination/impurity profiling and reporting

Application Areas
• Environmental analyses: heavy metal determination in water, soil, and air samples
• Biomedical & pharmaceutical research: trace metal analysis in biological matrices; trace-element impurities in drugs
• Food safety: contaminant and trace-element testing
• Materials science & geochemistry: composition analysis of rocks/minerals; purity verification
• Semiconductor industry: purity control of ultra-high purity materials

Highlights
• 9-order dynamic range detector enabling simultaneous measurement of major and trace components
• Broad mass range for comprehensive elemental coverage
• Strong capability for contamination and trace-element determination in pharma, medical device, and bioanalytical workflows
