Agilent launches 9500 ICP-MS system for trace element analysis
Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) announced the launch of the Agilent 9500 Triple Quadrupole ICP-MS, an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry system designed to help laboratories transition from single quadrupole to triple quadrupole technology for trace elemental analysis.
The system features innovations including Air Cell and Advanced Helium Mode, enabled by Agilent's Dual-Cell System. The technology is integrated with OpenLab ICP-MS software to support data acquisition and method adoption.
"With the Agilent 9500, we are fundamentally changing how laboratories adopt and use triple quadrupole ICP-MS," said Geoff Winkett, vice president and general manager of Agilent's Spectroscopy and Vacuum Division. "By making advanced capability straightforward and easily accessible, the 9500 enables customers to migrate their existing single quadrupole methods while benefiting from improved productivity, lower cost of ownership, and the highest data quality."
According to the company, the system delivers a reduction of more than 33% in acquisition time and includes the ability to use ambient laboratory air for triple quadrupole reactions, reducing reliance on oxygen cylinders.
The Agilent 9500 ICP-MS targets environmental, food, pharmaceutical, fine and specialty chemical, advanced materials, and contract testing laboratories. The system is designed to enhance interference removal, sensitivity, and productivity for laboratories managing growing workloads.
Agilent Technologies reported revenue of $6.95 billion in fiscal year 2025 and employs approximately 18,000 people worldwide. The information is based on a company press release.
