Taking elemental analysis to the next level
The Spectro Arcos inductively coupled plasma, optical-emission spectrometer (ICP-OES; photo) precisely analyzes the elemental composition of metals, chemicals, petrochemicals, and more. The new enhancements introduced in the instrument include: a new dual side-on interface (DSOI) plasma viewing option featuring two optical interfaces; a MultiView plasma viewing option; advanced line-array detectors, based on complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology, which are said to be equal to or surpass the performance of legacy charged-coupled device (CCD) detectors; and more. The system delivers a high resolution over a wide spectral range (130–770 nm), as well as ultra-high-speed readout (simple matrices can be analyzed in 30 s). — Spectro Analytical Instruments GmbH, Kleve, Germany
