The PlasmaQuant MS is delivered directly to its final destination by a transportation

for instrument installation.
It is imperative that all persons designated to operate the device are present during

Sample introduction components, including the torch, the nebulizer with spray
chamber and the autosampler have to be installed by the customer during
maintenance operations. Descriptions of these installation procedures are provided in
