|
|
Thermo Electron Corporation launched the new iCAP 6000 Series, featuring the most compact ICP emission spectrometers available on the market, the iCAP 6300 and the iCAP 6500. Thermo's expertise within the ICP market has resulted in the advanced, high efficiency optical design of these instruments, providing excellent resolution, stability and sensitivity and the best detection limits. |

Guaranteeing enhanced productivity, improved ease of operation and reduced cost of ownership, these novel instruments are specifically suited to the needs of general and elemental analysis laboratories in the environmental, petrochemical, metal, food and beverage, geo-chemical and cement industries. Thermo's new iCAP 6000 Series is equipped with a high power, solid state RF generator able to handle all sample types. A distributed purge system offers reduced gas consumption and improved performance for elements such as arsenic (As), antimony (Sb), selenium (Se) and tellurium (Te). Fully automated wavelength calibration and offset correction ensure excellent long-term stability. The ergonomic design with a large 270° door allows unrestricted access to a large sample compartment and peristaltic pump while the inner enclosure has a large viewing window for easy observation of the plasma. One of the most important parts of any ICP spectrometer is the detector, and the iCAP 6000 series’ unique RACID86 fourth generation Charge Injection Device (CID) detector offers several unique benefits. Able to perform non-destructive readout, this detector allows high intensity signals to be read very rapidly while lower intensity signals are accumulated for longer, ensuring optimum signal to noise and resistance to saturation. The RACID86 detector allows selective Region Of Interest (ROI) and true random access pixel address, which greatly shortens analysis times and improves sample throughput. |
