Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) Optical Emission Spectrometry (OES) is a well established and powerful technique for the analysis and quantification of trace elements in both liquid and solid samples.

Sample Introduction System:

The instrument is supplied with analysis-ready sample introduction parameters, so users no longer required to optimize pump speed, plasma RF power and gas flow rates.

• A 3-channel, 12-roller peristaltic pump, with a unique drain sensor, provides smooth, low noise signals and safe operation
• Bayonet torch fitting for easy assembly/disassembly
• Clip-together sample introduction system for easy re-configuration and maintenance
• Enhanced Matrix Tolerance (EMT) torch design improves the handling of high matrix samples
• Optical drain sensor detects liquid flow from the spray chamber and automatically switches the plasma off in case of incorrect drainage, saving samples, gas and power
• A range of CETAC autosamplers are available to enable optimization of the iCAP 7200 ICP-OES for automated, unattended analysis

Plasma and RF Generator:

• Duo (axial and radial) plasma viewing

Optical System:

• Low gas purge flow rates for the optical system help reduce running costs
• High-transmission optical design for exceptional sensitivity
• High-resolution echelle spectrometer increases accuracy by reducing spectral overlap
• Thermostatically controlled polychromator with thermal-break design enhances long-term stability, allowing extended analytical runs without recalibration

Detector:

• Charge Injection Device (CID) detector: CID-86
• Free, continuous choice of wavelengths in the range 175 to 847nm
• Resistance to adjacent-pixel blooming, reducing false positive results in complex sample matrices
• Nondestructive readout and random access integration increase signal-to-background ratio and detection limits

Software:

• Intuitive Qtegra™ Intelligent Scientific Data Solution™ platform software, with pre-loaded method template as standard, enables "Out of box" operation
