The NexION 300 ICP-MS can be positioned in either a linear 
or an L-shaped configuration. In the L-shaped configuration, 
the computer and printer are positioned on one leg of the 
L. The instrument and an accessory table make up the other 
leg. A recommended workstation layout is shown in Figure 2.

There should be sufficient space near the spectrometer for 
the various accessories (autosampler, laser etc.). It is  
recommended that the accessories be placed on a movable 
cart or table to allow for easy service access.  

The system computer may be placed on the instrument 
bench or a separate computer table.  

 

System Layout

The ICP-MS system consists of the main instrument, roughing 
pump, the computer controller assembly, and a printer. The 
dimensions of the instrument are given in Figure 1. Table 1 lists 
the dimensions of the instrument and the computer. Table 2 
lists the dimensions of the peripherals and accessories.
