iCAP Series inductively coupled plasma (ICP) spectrometers

The iCAP Series inductively coupled plasma (ICP) spectrometers are said to be the smallest such instrument available on the market today. They feature a new close-coupled optical design with orthogonal optics, which increases the amount of light reaching the detector. The RACID86 fourth-generation charge injection device (CID) detector allows high-intensity signals to be read very rapidly, while lower-intensity signals are accumulated over a longer time. This ensures optimum signal-to-noise ratio and provides resistance to saturation. Pushing the plug-and-play, semi-demountable torch into place in the torch compartment automatically makes the gas connections and aligns it with the optical system. In addition to the standard aqueous system, optional sample-introduction kits are available for organics, high-solids samples, and samples containing hydrofluoric acid.
