• Tandem inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS/MS) with collision/reaction cell capability can achieve highly effective separation of spectral interferences. This improves confidence in measurement, reduces the detection limits achievable and expands the number of isotopes measurable in a range of industries, including semi-conductor, pharmaceutical, environmental, food and nuclear. Amongst the range of cell gases tested, hydrogen (H 2 ) has proven to be an effective cell gas, either used alone or in combination with other gases. This study demonstrates the benefits of using H 2 in combination with ICP-MS/MS for improved detection of stable and radioactive pollutants of interest to a number of technical disciplines. This is presented through several case studies considering stable ( 35 Cl, 40 Ca, 56 Fe, Ni isotopes) and radioactive ( 36 Cl, 41 Ca, 63 Ni and 93 Mo) isotopes in stable element standards and sample matrices including air quality filters and aqueous nuclear decommissioning waste. Applications of hydrogen as a collision/reaction gas for enhanced interference removal and expanding the number of pollutants measurable.
