Spectrometer gives fast, reliable metals analysis
A compact spectrometer for fast and reliable analysis in metals has automatic sample preparation and handling, while analysis and distribution of results is also automated.
With HPLC-ICP-MS and GC-ICP-MS, minimal sample preparation is required prior to analysis and rapid 'on-line' species separations are achievable.
This ensures these techniques are ideally suited for the analyses of complex matrices with high species specificity and low detection limits.
Simple instrument coupling and intelligent software facilitate high sample throughput and the automation of quantitative element speciation analysis.
The X Series ICP-MS benefits from an open architecture sample introduction system enabling rapid and simple interchangeability between ICP-MS, GC-ICP-MS and HPLC-ICP-MS configurations.
Both aqueous and organic mobile phases can be used to achieve optimum chromatographic separations.
Thermo's GC-ICP-MS instrumentation comprises a unique 'dual mode' sample introduction system.
This feature enables simple optimization of the GC-ICP-MS system using an aqueous tune solution and aids both GC-ICP-MS and ICP-MS analysis with a single instrument configuration.
The X Series PlasmaLab software enables automated control of HPLC and GC accessories using intelligent productivity-enhancing bi-directional communications.
Analytical data can be acquired using flexible internal standardization methods to correct for gradient elution and instrumental drift.
Flexible chromatographic peak integration and data reporting facilities (XML and CSV format) are further incorporated into the software to provide a complete analytical solution for elemental speciation analysis.
solids, and powders, Thermo Electron's elemental-analysis systems are used for process and quality control, environmental and hazardous-materials monitoring, and R and D in the environmental, pharmaceutical, semiconductor, food and beverage, petrochemical, metal, and geological markets.
