iCAP™ PRO ICP-OES and iCAP™ PRO X ICP-OES

Deliver robust, uncomplicated trace elemental analysis with the Thermo Scientific™ iCAP™ PRO ICP-OES and Thermo Scientific™ iCAP™ PRO X ICP-OES systems. These systems offer easy-to-use software with pre-optimized method conditions, providing multi-element detection technology far superior to that of single-element AAS.

This compact, benchtop ICP-OES provides simultaneous analysis of trace elements in a range of samples. The vertical torch orientation system delivers excellent robustness for both radial and dual view instruments with a corrosion-resistant inner torch box. The purged echelle polychromator and Charge Injection Device (CID) array detector provide high light throughput, resulting in excellent detection limits. The system includes:

• A 3-channel, peristaltic pump for easy addition of an online internal standard or use of a hydride generation accessory.
• A quick-release semi-demountable torch for easy maintenance.
• A solid-state, free-running 27.12 MHz RF generator to ensure robust plasma generation for any sample matrix.
• Three independent mass flow controllers (MFC) for precision control of the nebulizer, plasma, and auxiliary gas and to ensure long-term stability.
• An interlock drain sensor to shut down the system if a leak in the sample path is detected and to prevent samples being lost.
• An echelle polychromator that is thermostatically controlled to ensure long-term stability and reduce the need for recalibration.
• A cross-dispersing prism combined with an echelle to provide a resolution of 7 pm and minimize interferences.
• A random-access CID imager provides full wavelength coverage from 167.021 to 852.145 nm.
• Thermo Scientific™ Qtegra™ Intelligent Scientific Data Solution™ (ISDS) Software, providing an easy-to-navigate platform that allows the analyst to add wavelengths, create methods, analyze samples and post-process the data while the spectrometer is acquiring data.
