PlasmaQuant® PQ 9100 Optical Emission Spectrometry System

Description

The PlasmaQuant PQ 9100 from Analytik Jena is an ICP-OES system built for laboratories requiring a versatile instrument capable of handling diverse and complex sample types. It operates across a spectral range of 160 to 900 nm with a resolution of 0.006 nm at 200 nm. The optical system is encapsulated and purged with argon to enhance stability. A high-resolution CCD serves as the detector. The system is designed for rapid operational readiness and method flexibility, facilitated by its high-frequency generator. A central feature is the V Shuttle Torch, which is engineered to process samples with high matrix loads—such as soils, saline wastewater, and petrochemicals—while minimizing deposits and interferences. Like the Elite model, it includes Dual View PLUS technology for the synchronous analysis of trace and major elements without necessitating separate analytical runs or extensive sample dilution. This functionality is intended to streamline workflows in applications including environmental monitoring, food safety, and agricultural analysis.
