Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry – ICP-MS (Agilent)
Measured parameters: Elemental composition, particle size, particle concentration, fractal dimension of agglomerates in conjunction with a differential mobility analyzer (online)
Size range: ~10 nm to a few 100 nm (aerosol); larger particles can also be analyzed depending on the chemical digestion, larger particles can also be
analyzed Measurement medium: aerosols & suspensions

This special extension of the ICP-MS also allows for the direct analysis of gas-carried particle systems without introducing the samples into the plasma via liquid nebulization. The ICP-MS can be operated in both single-particle mode and time-resolved analysis (TRA).
