Pioneering CCD Detector with One Million Pixels Can Record All Wavelengths Simultaneously

With the ICPE-9800 Atomic Emission Spectrometer systems, data for all wavelengths is captured as an image created on a two-dimensional plane using a large 1-inch CCD sensor, in much the same way a camera takes a photograph. Received data is saved for review at any time.
The wavelength can be changed after the measurement is complete, thus reducing the need to reanalyze samples and enabling faster method development. In addition, qualitative data can be read and matrix elements can be checked and corrected, eliminating measurement errors due to interference.

Automatic System Shutdown After Analysis

The cooling temperature of the CCD is -15°C, which means it can be used at a higher temperature than a conventional semiconductor detector (-40°C). The waiting time at shutdown that is usually required in order to prevent condensation is not necessary.

High Sensitivity and High Resolution

Schmidt-aberration Corrected
A Schmidt mirror is used for correcting astigmatism. Spectrometers without this function result in blurring along the perimeter of the detector, which decreases resolution and sensitivity.

Acquisition for All Wavelengths Allows You to Freely Add Elements and Wavelengths

Acquisition for All Wavelengths

Even after measurements are finished, the elements and wavelengths can be added, which allows you to confirm the quantitative or qualitative data. Because data are acquired for all wavelengths, there is no need to reanalyze samples.

The quantitative values can be displayed by simply adding elements or wavelengths. This is especially helpful when you forgot to specify an element to be measured or want to obtain data for other wavelengths.

The profiles and semi-quantitative values can be loaded and confirmed for all elements. This is useful for determining the approximate concentrations of elements that were not quantitated, for example to confirm matrices.

Once data for all wavelengths have been saved, it can be loaded and reanalyzed at any time. This availability of data provides peace of mind in case something unexpected happens with quality control or when analyzing samples that are only available in small quantities.

Three Features Minimize Gas Consumption,
Leading to Cost Savings

ICPE-9800 systems include three features for reducing gas consumption (Eco mode, Mini-torch system, and Vacuum spectrometer), which significantly reduce the amount of argon gas consumed.

Acquisition for All Wavelengths and Assistant Functions Ensure a Smoother Analysis Process

The ICPE-9800 series' assistant functions, which combine extensive spectral data with a substantial database, enable easy optimization of methods and a simpler, more efficient analytical workflow.

Simultaneous Analysis of Trace and High-Concentration Samples Without Concern for Contamination

The torch is oriented vertically to minimize any adhesion of sample on the torch walls, thus reducing memory effects. Simultaneous analysis is possible by switching between axial and radial views.

Analysis of High-Concentration Range and Organic Solvent Samples

Reduced Startup Gas Consumption

Vacuum

To enable measurements of wavelengths in the vacuum UV region (below 190 nm) ICPE-9800 systems employ a vacuum pump (rotary pump) to evacuate the air and remove oxygen from inside the spectrometer. This ensures a shorter startup time in comparison to purge-type systems. When the pump stops, a solenoid valve automatically closes to maintain the vacuum inside the spectrometer. Consequently, there is no need to worry about contamination from atmospheric air flowing back into the spectrometer after the pump stops.

Sample Introduction System Achieves Stable Analysis for Long Periods of Time

Natural Aspiration and Gravity Drain

The sample introduction system incorporates a high-accuracy nebulizer for introduction by free aspiration and a gravity drain. Therefore, a peristaltic pump is not necessary. Since there is no need to worry about a reduction in the efficiency or the variability of introduction caused by the deterioration of the pump tube, or trouble caused by improper draining, stable analysis can be accomplished for long periods of time. (If you wish to automatically add an internal standard element an optional peristaltic pump should be used.)
