Agilent Technologies: Dual-Cell System (DCS) and Advanced Helium Mode (AHM)</strong></h3><p><strong>Technological developments for higher sensitivity and better interference removal than traditional He-KED</strong></p><ul><li>Technical note</li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://icpms.labrulez.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/te_batch_conversion_tool_9500_icp_ms_5994_9214en_agilent_0a1bba76e2.pdf"><strong>Full PDF for download</strong></a></li></ul><h4><strong>Evolution of Agilent’s Collision Reaction Cell (CRC) technology&nbsp;</strong></h4><ul><li><strong>2001: </strong>Launched the first ICP-MS with CRC—the Agilent 7500c with Octopole Reaction System (ORS)&nbsp;</li><li><strong>2011:</strong> Introduced High Energy Helium Mode (HEHe) using Collision Induced Dissociation (CID)&nbsp;</li><li><strong>2012: </strong>Released the world’s first Triple Quadrupole ICP-MS—the Agilent 8800 ICP-QQQ&nbsp;</li><li><strong>2016:</strong> Launched the second generation Triple Quadrupole ICP-MS with Axial Acceleration—the Agilent 8900 ICP-QQQ&nbsp;</li><li><strong>2026: </strong>Introduced the innovative Dual-Cell System (DCS) and Advanced Helium Mode (AHM) for the Agilent 9500 ICP-QQQ</li></ul><p>Collision/Reaction Cell (CRC) technology is now a standard feature in modern ICP-MS systems, providing a reliable means of eliminating spectral interferences that compromise data quality. ICP-MS systems with integrated CRCs range from single quadrupole (SQ) ICP-MS used in environmental and food analysis, to triple quadrupole ICP-MS (ICP-QQQ) for advanced research applications. For routine applications, Helium Kinetic Energy Discrimination (He KED) mode, commonly referred to as helium mode (He mode), is the most widely used CRC operational mode. The widespread use of He mode is due to its universal effectiveness in reducing a broad range of polyatomic interferences without the need for element-specific optimization.&nbsp;</p><p>Unlike CRCs that rely on reactive cell gases and require complex tuning (often referred to as reaction cells), He mode effectively mitigates many commonly occurring polyatomic ion interferences without the need for intricate adjustments. In contrast, reaction cells often require careful selection of gas type (such as ammonia or oxygen) and tuning parameters based on the specific interfering ions on analytes of interest.&nbsp;</p><p>Building on the simplicity of He mode, Agilent has developed Advanced Helium Mode (AHM) for the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://icpms.labrulez.com/library?mainauthorItems=10&amp;search=9500"><strong>Agilent 9500 Triple Quadrupole ICP-MS (ICP-QQQ)</strong></a>. AHM represents a breakthrough in interference removal technology, enabled by the newly designed Agilent Dual-Cell System (DCS) and high-speed cell voltage control. These innovations deliver high sensitivity across the mass range and superior interference removal performance for routine applications. Compared to conventional He mode, AHM demonstrates the following improvements:</p><ul><li>Around a 20-fold sensitivity improvement for low-mass elements, such as beryllium (Be) and boron (B)&nbsp;</li><li>Around a 2-fold improvement for mid-to-high mass elements&nbsp;</li><li>A reduction of more than 33% in data acquisition time while maintaining detection limits (DLs), accelerating analytical measurement times&nbsp;</li></ul><p>AHM not only replaces traditional He KED but also consolidates multiple tuning modes including no gas, He, and HEHe into a single, streamlined mode. Integrated into the 9500 ICP-QQQ, AHM is a next-generation standard He mode that is faster, simpler, and delivers higher performance than its predecessor. This technical note describes the performance enhancement mechanisms of the DCS and AHM. It also includes some comparative results with conventional He KED mode to highlight the analytical improvements of AHM.</p><h4><strong>Overview and advantages of AHM&nbsp;</strong></h4><p>Typically, multi-element ICP-MS methods apply no gas mode to the determination of low-mass elements like Be and B due to low sensitivity in traditional He KED mode. Consequently, many routine ICP-MS applications have required multiple tune setups, combining no gas, He, and HEHe. Each mode switch introduces a delay due to cell pressure stabilization requirements.&nbsp;</p><p>In practice, low-mass elements (m/z &lt; 23) are generally unaffected by polyatomic ion interferences, so KED is often unnecessary. Therefore, in AHM, different voltages are applied to the DCS (effectively disabling KED) for low-mass elements, while keeping standard settings for elements with m/z ≥ 23.&nbsp;</p><p>The DCS voltages are dynamically switched in sync with Q2 using a high-speed voltage control circuit, providing over 20× sensitivity improvement for low-mass elements compared to conventional He mode. AHM eliminates the need to run in no gas mode, greatly simplifying the method. As a default approach, AHM alone is suitable for most applications.<sup>1</sup></p><h3><strong>2. Shimadzu: Damping Force Characteristic Test of Suspension Struts [JASO C611]</strong></h3><ul><li>Application note</li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://icpms.labrulez.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/an_01_01017_en_2fbbb9c247.pdf"><strong>Full PDF for download</strong></a></li></ul><h5><strong>User Benefits</strong></h5><ul><li>Damping force characteristic tests on suspension struts can be performed based on the JASO C611 standard.&nbsp;</li><li>Combination test enables automatic speed change and measurement.&nbsp;</li><li>High responsiveness of the EMT series enables testing at high excitation speed.</li></ul><p>Various components play an important role in achieving a comfortable ride in vehicles. Among them, the suspension strut used in the suspension system is an important component that stabilizes the vehicle body by mitigating the impact caused by uneven road surfaces.&nbsp;</p><p>“JASO C611 Suspension Struts for Automobiles”1), a standard of JASO (Japanese Automotive Standards Organization), established by JSAE, specifies the definition, quality, and test method for suspension struts. There is no international standard that is equivalent to JASO C611.&nbsp;</p><p>In order to improve the performance of suspension struts, it is necessary to measure the damping force against speed by changing the excitation speed. The performance of suspension struts can be confirmed by measuring the response, such as the relationship between speed and damping force and the Lissajous waveform.&nbsp;</p><p>This article introduces an example of the test method “Damping Force Characteristic Test” specified in JASO C611, which was conducted on a Shimadzu EMT series electromagnetic fatigue testing machine.</p><h4><strong>Testing Equipment&nbsp;</strong></h4><p>The EMT-1kNV-50 electromagnetic dynamic and fatigue testing machine was used in this test. Fig. 1 shows a photograph of the testing machine. The electromagnetic actuator with extremely high frequency response enables highly accurate dynamic testing. In this test, the maximum test speed was 0.6 m/s. The EMT seriesis most suitable for testing at such high frequencies.</p><h4><strong>Conclusion&nbsp;</strong></h4><p>A damping force characteristic test on a suspension strut based on JASO C611 was conducted using an EMT series electromagnetic fatigue testing machine and Windows software for 4830. The test conditions were set using the excitation speed, and it was confirmed that the test was accurately controlled as set. The standard “JASO C611 Suspension Struts for Automobiles” referred to this time is derived from “JASO C602 Automotive Parts - Telescopic Shock Absorbers for Suspension Systems”2). Although C602 also prescribes a damping force characteristic test, it is almost equivalent to the C611, and the test machine configuration can be used by replacing the jig.</p><h3><strong>3.

<p><strong>The electrochemical processes that take place in batteries, whether under load or at rest, give rise to heat exchange with the surroundings. These processes include redox reactions at the anode and cathode, the shuttling of lithium ions between electrodes, and the various parasitic side reactions that are responsible for limiting the lifetime of a battery.</strong></p>
<p>Screening new cell chemistries using traditional electrochemical methods is a time-prohibitive process that significantly slows the pace of research. These methods involve cycling the cell until signs of degradation or sufficient capacity fade are evident, and typically take months to complete. In-operando isothermal microcalorimetry is an established but underutilized technique for measuring the activity of parasitic, or non-reversible reactions during charge cycling to provide insights for accelerating battery research.  </p>

<p><strong>Oxidation is a chemical reaction in which a substance loses electrons, either by the addition of oxygen or by the removal of hydrogen. The oxidation of materials can lead to failure in their particular use or application. For example, polymers become brittle, edible oils become rancid, mineral oils undergo polymerization, and petrochemical products exhibit a change in viscosity.</strong></p>

<li>Introduction to oxidation induction time (OIT) and thermal analysis</li>
<li>Principles of OIT and oxidation onset temperature (OOT)</li>
<li>Comparison of OIT and OOT</li>
<li>Different DSC techniques for studying OIT and OOT</li>
<li>Industries where OIT and OOT investigations are used</li>
<li>Application examples</li>
</ul>
<h4><strong>OIT Measurements</strong></h4>
<p>The OIT test is a standardized isothermal measurement performed with a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) to measure the resistance of a material to oxidation. The sample is heated in the presence of air or oxygen and the time it takes for the material to oxidize is measured. The test is typically used to evaluate the oxidative stability of oils, polymers, and foods, as well as to assess the effectiveness of antioxidants in preventing oxidation. These tests are frequently employed for process development and quality control.</p>

<div><p><strong>Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) is an ideal tool for the characterization of all kinds of organic and inorganic solids and liquids. Thermodynamic transitions, thermal stability, decomposition and chemical reactions can be detected and quantified with high accuracy over a broad temperature range. However, this method does not provide details about the chemistry behind the processes under study</strong>.</p><p>The combination of thermal analysis with infrared spectroscopy bridges this analytical gap. Fourier-Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy is a classical tool for the identification and quantification of gases. This technique is based on the interaction of infrared radiation with the vibrating dipole moments of molecules. FT-IR yields a unique IR spectrum for each substance, except for homonuclear diatomic gases and pure metals</p><p>In a simple case, only one type of gas molecule is evolved with an applied temperature increase in the TGA. The evolved gas is flowed into the FT-IR and can be readily identified by searching its spectrum against a gas phase reference library. In a typical decomposition process, evolved fume is a mixture of gases. Different hardware and software approaches to identify the composition of complex gas mixtures will be presented with a thorough discussion of the following topics:</p><ul><li>Mixture analysis using library search</li><li>TGA-IR at reduced pressure&nbsp;</li><li>Spectra manipulation method for deconvoluting complex spectra (mixtures)</li></ul><p>Examples of applications will include the identification of plasticizers in polymers, PVC undercoating analysis, decomposition of&nbsp;PETN explosive, NHF propellant, and others.</p><blockquote><p><strong>Presenter: </strong>Dr. Sergey Shilov (North America Product Manager, Science Business Unit, Bruker Optics)</p><div><p>Dr. Sergey V.
