The result is clear: An ICP system that without needing to first develop a method. has been optimized for the selected applications; These factory methods cover all common one that sets new standards for analysis environmental and industrial applications like reliability and simplicity of operation. water, waste water, industrial waste water, soil, sewage sludge, filter dust, wear metals in oil and The SPECTRO GENESIS offers a real additives in oil. economic alternative to sequential ICP and Atomic Absorption spectrometers, enabling Compliant to national and international norms, those who are unfamiliar with ICP to profit from they are delivered ready for use straight out of the advantages of leading CCD ICP technology the box with an application package that and to use a powerful, low cost and user friendly includes the sample introduction system, analytical system. sample preparation instructions and method documentation. An extensive package of accessories is available for the SPECTRO GENESIS to further expand its application range. This includes, but is not limited to, a wide range of sample introduction systems, autosamplers, an autodilutor, an ultrasonic nebulizer and a hydride generator. The SPECTRO GENESIS housing is compact and stable - the footprint small - and offers easy access to all components. Light weight, it can be placed on any laboratory table. Chemically resistant surfaces and ergonomically placed connections as well as many other design features of the SPECTRO GENESIS are based on feedback from thousands of SPECTRO customers. The SPECTRO GENESIS is equipped with powerful automation functions for the safe unattended analysis of a large number of samples. With an optional autosampler, several hundred samples can be processed without operator intervention. If the relevant methods are available, simply import or define a sample list. When the instrument conducts unsupervised measurements, a number of safety functions ensure trouble-free operation and continuous monitoring according to national and international guidelines. – A powerful alternative to conventional sequential ICP and Atomic Absorption spectrometers – Free-running, 27 MHz generator for constant plasma power independent from plasma load – Maintenance friendly sample introduction system – Axial or radial plasma observation – Simultaneous measurement of the entire spectrum from 175 to 777 nm – Powerful software featuring 1-click routine operation – Factory supplied, norm-conforming methods for environmental and industrial applications The ORCA optical system guarantees extreme stability. The CCD detectors do not need the costly cooling required for other detectors. Thermal stabilization ensures that condensing humidity cannot interfere with system performance. Optical System The ORCA Readout System Linear CCD arrays with a (Optimized Rowland Circle Alignment) optical large dynamic range of up to 8 orders of system with optimized Paschen-Runge assembly magnitude function as detectors, making it is one of the most important innovations in the possible to process concentrations from ppb into SPECTRO GENESIS. It covers the entire relevant the percent range without blooming effects. A wavelength range from 175 to 777 nm. high speed readout system with parallel digital signal processor units enables the recording and Design The cast aluminum hollow section evaluation of the complete spectrum in less than construction of the optical system allows for three seconds. direct thermal stabilization and reliable compensation for external temperature fluctuations. This guarantees high stability of the measurement results; negative influences due to temperature drift are effectively prevented. For measurements in the UV range (<200 nm), the optic can be purged with argon - optionally nitrogen. A small optic volume guarantees short start up times and a purge rate of less than 1 l/min. The advantage of the radial plasma observation, which is less sensitive to high matrix contents, is the precise determination of major components. Axial observation with the OPI improves detection sensitivity without the matrix interferences found in other axial systems. Plasma Interface The SPECTRO GENESIS is available with two different plasma interfaces. Depending on the application, the instrument is equipped with either radial (SOP) or axial (EOP) plasma observation. SOP Radial plasma observation is less sensitive to high matrix concentrations and the influences from organic matrices. The smaller observation volume offers advantages for applications where major elements need to be determined with high precision. EOP Axial observation evaluates the entire emission zone, facilitating the analysis of trace contents. SPECTRO’s OPI (Optical Plasma Interface) has proven itself in over 10 years of use and enables up to 10 times better detection limits without the matrix interferences usually found with other axial observation. A bayonet connection simplifies use of the OPI. Sample Introduction System The extremely ICAL Logic System SPECTRO’s short fluid paths of the SPECTRO GENESIS ICAL (Intelligent Calibration Logic) system sample introduction system ensure short continuously monitors the optical system and measurement and flush times. normalizes the wavelength scale. If changes are noticed, the system calls for an ICALization Excitation System A free-running generator (measurement of the ICAL standard). If the with a frequency of 27.12 MHz and a power instrument is in automatic operation mode, this output of 0.7 to 1.7 kW is utilized. It includes step is carried out by the control logic. Methods automatic plasma ignition as well as an energy that have been developed on one instrument and argon-saving standby mode. The system can be easily transferred to other instruments – independently adjusts the resonance frequency, they don’t have to be created for every holding the effective plasma power constant spectrometer: A great advantage when multiple over a wide range of sample loads. This systems of the same instrument type are being powerful generator is characterized by its used. A further advantage to ICAL is that robustness, reliability and stability. methods for numerous and widely varying applications can be developed and offered as factory methods. Installation of the sample introduction system is simple. Lock-in-place connections ensure correct positioning every time, further adjustment or optimization is not required. Software The SMART ANALYZER VISION software for the SPECTRO GENESIS offers the user clear, structured and easy to understand control of all instrument functions. It consists of six main modules for manual, automatic and transient measurements, spectra viewing, method development and general configuration. 1-click routine operation and assistants for the less frequently used options are available. The intelligent method development assistant and With dockable windows and tool bars, the user predefined templates can be utilized to create interface can be customized to specific methods; assisting in selection of parameters, line analysis functions as well as regression calculations. information requirements and personal The fully automatic background correction completes preferences. the picture. Data and measurement results are stored in ODBC compatible databases; facilitating integration with a LIMS. The complete spectrum is stored for every measurement. This leads to the unique possibility of re-evaluating the measurement results at a later time. All of the measurement parameters, e.g., element and line selection can be edited and changed as required. SMART ANALYZER VISION is fully compatible with US EPA, CLP as well as other standards and methods and includes an US FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliant user and data management.
