Smithers, a provider of testing, consulting, information, and compliance services, has invested in a 7800 ICP-MS from Agilent to enhance its elemental services, allowing the organisation to provide pharmaceutical and medical device clients with enhanced fidelity and an even greater depth of elemental analysis.

The sensitivity, accuracy and throughput capabilities of the ICP-MS will help Smithers’ expert team reduce reporting times and ensure clients continue to receive highly accurate data with minimal interference. The team utilises validated MassHunter software with this equipment to ensure data integrity, compliance, security and confidentiality.
In combination with another recent acquisition – a microwave digester (Milestone ETHOS UP Microwave Digestion System) – Smithers can produce faster extractions capable of digesting an extensive range of sample matrices.
“Smithers’ commitment to offering clients the best support, data and analytical expertise available is highlighted by this investment in new ICP-MS equipment and a microwave digester,” said David Tudbury, operations director of chemistry, Europe. “I look forward to continuing to deepen our relationships with clients around the globe and ensure we continue to be best placed to provide accurate data, on time with high touch.”
