ICP-MS MassHunter 4.1

Introducing the most

intuitive, most powerful

ICP-MS software ever

The Goals for ICP-MS MassHunter 4.1 were Simple

1. Support new 7900 Hardware including ISIS3

2. Simplify Workflow and User Interface significantly

WITHOUT sacrificing features, power or flexibility

How did we chose the new features and workflows?

1. Customer interviews and surveys (we spent time working in customer’s

laboratories)

2. Field Advisory Team suggestions

3. Global database of enhancement requests and bug reports

4. Extensive discussion between marketing and R&D

Let’s have a look at the new GUI New Dashboard with large, easy to read “Gadgets” control

nearly all Top-level functions

These Gadgets are “live”

meaning that they

change appearance

depending of instrument

status etc.

They each have shortcut

functions by clicking or

double-clicking

They also have short,

pull-down menus of

commonly used functions

Dashboard Gadgets

Double clicking the

Plasma Gadget either

ignites or extinguishes

the plasma.

Pulling it down allows

you to configure the

ignition sequence and

start-up options click

Startup can be user

customized.

Hyperlinks allow easy

configuration of startup

parameters.

New Top Level “Gadgets” make it easy to find functions – Settings Gadget All hardware configurations,

properties, diagnostics and

maintenance are easily

available from a single Gadget

Method Wizard

New users or advanced users creating a new application can now create a new, well optimized method with just a few clicks.

•Interactive Mode – the Wizard asks a few simple questions about the samples and application and creates the method and batch

•Fully automatic mode – The Wizard analyzes a “typical” sample and creates the method and batch based on the results.

• Almost no user input is required

• Perfect for the novice user with no knowledge of ICP-MS

Method Wizard

Newly created methods and batches are automatically optimized for: • Customers hardware configuration

• Plasma conditions (sample types)

• ISTD selection

• Analytes and isotopes

• Integration times

• Sample uptake parameters

• Desired performance priorities

Newly created methods can be saved as template batches for future use

Manual or Automatic – what is your preference?

Automatic Mode

scans your typical

sample and

calculates all

required parameters

to create a fully

functional

quantitative method.

Manual Mode

permits the user to

make simple

decisions about the

configuration of the

new method.

Let’s look at interactive, manual mode

settings

Your selected elements and internal standards are displayed. They can be edited from here if desired.

Add, delete or edit

elements by

periodic table

Now the Magic! The Wizard automatically selects the optimum parameters for either best speed or lowest detection limits, based on your preference as well as your hardware configuration.

Just click “Optimize”

Voilà. The new batch is ready to run, edit, or save as a template for future use – just add samples
