ICP Spectrometers

Over the last 25 years, optical emission spectrometers with ICP excitation sources have become an indispensable tool for chemical elemental analysis. Their ease of use, high sensitivity and precision, plus relative freedom from interferences have made ICP-OES systems the analytical method of choice for a wide range of applications.<!–PO@

Since the introduction of its first ICP, SPECTRO has managed to continuously set performance benchmarks. Today, the new SPECTRO ARCOS, an ICP spectrometer with a unique optical system, is the most powerful, flexible, and fastest ICP, the world has ever seen.

SPECTRO ARCOS ICP Spectrometer

Its appearance alone sends out a definite signal: The SPECTRO ARCOS is different from conventional ICP spectrometers. The prominent left side of the instrument houses the unique optical system – a patented major development with unbeatable resolution, accuracy and stability.

The SPECTRO ARCOS can be outfitted with an interface for either axial or radial plasma observation. The new CCD optic system with a Paschen-Runge mount assembly delivers a matchless resolution of 8.5 picometer in the wavelength range from 130 to 340 nm.<!–PO@

Additional SPECTRO ARCOS strengths include the new, extremely robust, free-running generator with a ceramic tube and solid-state power supply, the low maintenance and economical UV-Plus system for high VUV transparency down to 130 nm, as well as the fast readout system with a dynamic range of eight decades and a transient measuring frequency of up to 10 Hz.<!–PO@
