SPECTRO GENESIS ICP-OES CONDITION MONITORING SYSTEM Performance, price, and productivity for lubricating oil analysis ASTM • D4951 • D7111 EN • 14538 • D5185 • D7691 • 16294 SPECTRO GENESIS The high-productivity, right-priced ICP-OES condition monitoring system The SPECTRO GENESIS inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES) is setting a new standard in the analysis of wear metals in oils for condition monitoring. This high-performance analyzer swiftly, accurately, and cost-effectively assesses component wear trends, detecting additive and wear elements and contaminants that may accelerate wear. It allows lubricating oil users to prevent equipment failure and optimize their maintenance programs. Unlike previous ICP analyzers, the innovative SPECTRO GENESIS is easy to use, possesses industrial-grade durability, and is surprisingly affordable to purchase and operate. SPECTRO GENESIS ADVANTAGES • Its full-spectrum capability • Available with a full complement • It features an ultra-low purge covers the entire range needed for of factory methods, compliant gas rate for the optical system — additive, wear, and trace element to ASTM and EN methods and delivering minimum consumable analysis of lubricating oils — standards. Including standard gas costs, and saving thousands including high sensitivity for light operating procedures, they are set over the life of the instrument elements (Na, Mg, Al, and Si) up for instant use • Unlike FAAS instruments and many • With fully simultaneous analysis, it • Available as a complete condition other ICP analyzers, it performs a can achieve sample cycle times of 90 monitoring package, containing complete spectrum capture with seconds, independent of the number factory methods, an autosampler, every measurement, for later of elements to be determined the sample introduction system, evaluation if needed and dedicated application specific standard operating procedures • It provides both condition monitoring laboratories and oil blenders with all the uptime, productivity, stability, and reliability they require FAAS versus ICP The high price of conventional ICP-OES spectrometers has meant that many laboratories still depend on flame atomic absorption spectroscopy (FAAS) for used oil analysis. However, labs are increasingly finding that FAAS systems can’t keep up with their growing productivity needs. For most condition monitoring labs running more than 50 samples per day with 10 or more elements, the SPECTRO GENESIS petrochemical package represents the ideal solution.
