5900 ICP-OES Instrument

Description

The Agilent 5900 is an inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES) configured with Synchronous Vertical Dual View (SVDV) technology. This system is engineered for laboratories requiring high sample throughput and operational efficiency. Its core optical design incorporates a Dichroic Spectral Combiner (DSC), which enables the simultaneous acquisition of both axial and radial plasma views in a single run, aiming to reduce analysis time and operational costs. An integrated Advanced Valve System (AVS) is included to manage sample introduction, potentially lowering argon consumption while maintaining analytical precision. The instrument features IntelliQuant Screening, a function that initiates data collection across a broad wavelength spectrum without pre-selecting analytes, providing an initial compositional overview and identifying potential spectral interferences. Operational monitoring is facilitated by embedded sensors and diagnostic algorithms, such as the Neb Alert feature for nebulizer performance, intended to preempt maintenance issues. Instrument control and data processing are managed by the ICP Expert software suite, which includes functionalities like Fitted Background Correction (FBC), Fast Automated Curve-fitting Technique (FACT), and Inter Element Correction (IEC). An advanced software option, ICP Expert Pro, offers additional capabilities such as live data export and integrated control for automated sample preparation systems.
