The Thermo Scientific iCAP 6200 ICP Analyzes Trace Elements in Polymer Samples to Ensure Compliance with WEEE-RoHS International Standards
The WEEE-RoHS Directives of the European Parliament and Council are guidelines to member governments on the disposal of ‘Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment’ (WEEE) and the ‘Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances’ (RoHS). The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Protocol 62321 for the analysis of restricted substances provides guidelines for the sampling and analysis of restricted substances in electronics and polymers found in electronic parts and equipment.
The Thermo Scientific iCAP 6200 ICP is pre-loaded with a method template to ensure optimized polymer sample analysis to verify compliance with both the WEEE/RoHS directive and the IEC Protocol 62321. In addition, the axial plasma viewing enables optimum detection limits for the toxic metals outlined in the directive/protocol. The pre-optimized ICP sample introduction components ensure simple ‘out-of-box’ operation and make the instrument extremely easy to use.

Thermo Fisher Scientific and BrainMet Centre Collaborate on Dementia Research
BrainMet (Bioimaging of Metals in Brain and Metallomics) Centre at Forschungszentrum, Jülich, Germany is advancing is advancing dementia research by studying the effects of metals and metalloproteins in ageing and in the origin of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases and Wilson’s syndrome. To carry out this challenging research in the BrainMet laboratory (
www.brainmet.com), a Thermo Scientific XSERIES 2 inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) was installed, combining third-generation collision cell and protective ion extraction technologies with an ergonomic, compact design.
Dr. habil. J. Sabine Becker, comments: “We are delighted to have entered into this exciting collaboration with Thermo Fisher. The state-of-the-art XSERIES 2 has been extremely efficient for quantitative bioimaging of metals of healthy and diseased samples of brain tissue and also for investigating the growth of brain tumors and strokes. Our ultimate goal is to advance dementia research and help the pharmaceutical industry introduce new therapies. The XSERIES 2 is very reliable and easy to use while providing the high signal to background ratio and excellent sensitivity that is required for our research.”
