Agilent 700 Series Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometers (ICP-OES) | Agilent Technologies, Inc.

General Description
The Agilent 700 Series ICP-OES Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometers are compact, bench mounted elemental analyzers for use in the laboratory. They are used for the simultaneous determination of trace to % levels of elements in a wide range of matrix types.
The Agilent 700 Series ICP-OES are the world’s most productive high-performance simultaneous ICP-OES.

Continuous wavelength coverage provides extended dynamic range and reduced interferences, giving you maximum confidence in your results
Robust plasma ensures reliable and reproducible results — even with the most complex matrices
One view, one step measurement of major, minor, and trace elements, plus the fastest warm-up, increases throughput and productivity
Choice of optimized axial or radial configurations to suit your application needs
Superior software features providing enhanced productivity and outstanding ease-of-use

Technical Description
A robust, argon based plasma is used to excite the elements of interest. The resultant emissions are directed through a thermostated, simultaneous echelle based optical system to a custom designed Peltier cooled CCD detector, allowing for fast simultaneous detection of elemental concentrations. Quantitative or semi-quantitative survey analysis modes are available. These instruments include a free-running, air-cooled 40 MHz RF generator with solid state HV power supply, purged echelle polychromator and full PC control of plasma viewing positioning and plasma gas flows. Fully web-integrated ICP Expert II software uses Agilent’s worksheet concept for ease of use, rapid operator training, and commonality with other Agilent spectroscopy products.
