SPECTRO ARCOS – The Ultimate ICP-OES for Sample Throughput and Sensitivity
SPECTRO Analytical Instruments unveils the latest state-of-the-art ICP-OES instrument - the SPECTRO ARCOS. The instrument is especially suited for such demanding ana- lytical applications as ultra-trace analysis for environmental applications or line-rich spectra for metal applications or the analy- sis of organic materials in petrochemistry. The new instrument’s high performance results from the two completely new major components: the optics and the generator.
In the optic, SPECTRO utilizes 32 linear CCD de- tectors in an optimized Paschen-Runge mount ORCA (Optimized Rowland Circle Alignment) for the simultaneous recording of the wave- lengths between 130 and 770 nm. However, what makes the optic so special is the enor- mous focal length of 750 mm, which improves the resolution by a factor of two. Coupled with the higher resolution is an improvement in the signal to background ratio, which has also been bettered by a factor of up to 2. The other major development in the SPECTRO ARCOS is its generator. Here too, major tech- nological advances are combined that result in significant economic improvements. The generator uses a tube with a maximum input power of 5 kilowatts. There are enough high- power reserves for even peak loads such as for the analysis of volatile organic materials, so that the generator has an excellent lifetime. The low-temperature ceramic tube is forced air cooled by an internal ventilation system, eliminating the need for uneconomical liquid coolants.
The SPECTRO MS delivers not only much more precise and reproducible results than a conven- tional mass spectrometer, but also measures a great deal faster; opening new perspectives and applications for laboratories. Simultaneous recording of the entire spectrum is enabled by a series of newly designed high- end components:
spectrometer with Mattauch-Herzog design
Detector with 4,800 channels
Other technologies are closely related to those of the ICP-OES flagship, the SPECTRO ARCOS.
A robust, free-running 27.12 MHz generator is used as the plasma generator, guarantee- ing extremely stable power coupling in the plasma. The range of applications for the new SPECTRO MS is diverse. In addition to research laboratories, simultaneous mass
spectrometry is attractive for many branches of industry: Environmental, chemical and phar- maceutical laboratories profit greatly from the instrument’s detection limits and sample throughput rates. Precious metal processors and refineries will appreciate the high preci- sion of the instrument. New applications can be developed with the option to examine iso- tope ratios together with the ability to transfer the precision of the isotope ratio analysis to the quantitative determination of element con- tents using isotope dilution: In this way, geol- ogy laboratories can more accurately charac- terize samples.
With the SPECTRO xSORT, SPECTRO MIDEX and SPECTRO XEPOS energy-dispersive XRF instruments, SPECTRO offers high-performance solutions for the analytical requirements of RoHS, chemical, mining and many other industries.
Reliability and Flexibility
SPECTRO xSORT: A few seconds is all it takes - New SDD detector technology for 10 times faster signal processing
- All relevant elements from Si to U in a single measuring cycle
- Laboratory-like analytical results for a wide range of materials within a few seconds
- Universal calibrations: Out of the box measuring without operator intervention
SPECTRO MIDEX: A winner for the rapid non-destructive analysis - Precise elemental analysis of a small measuring point
- Rapid element mapping of large surfaces - Spacious sample chamber for different sample types
- Variable excitation spot size; from 200 µm to more than 4 mm
SPECTRO XEPOS: Versatile XRF Analyzer for Demanding Applications - Determination of Na-U in completely unknown samples with proprietary Turboquant method
- Unique polarization optics deliver WD-XRF performance at an ED-XRF price
Based upon these improvements, the SPECTRO ARCOS is extremely fast, creating and processing a complete spectrum in two seconds. In time resolution mode, sampling frequencies of up to 10 measurements per second can be achieved enabling hyphen- ated measurements, for example, the analysis of trivalent and hexavalent chromium using ICP-OES.
SPECTRO MS - The first fully simultaneous measuring mass spectrometer
SPECTRO presents the first fully simulta- neous measuring mass spectrometer with inductively coupled plasma in the world: the SPECTRO MS. The SPECTRO MS records the entire elemental spectrum between lithium and uranium for every analysis. Users achieve a greatly increased sample throughput rate and much better precision and accuracy compared to using a sequen- tial mass spectrometer.
