Product news

A novelty in High-Resolution (HR) atomic spectrometry, the Dual View PLUS plasma observation of Analytik Jena’s PlasmaQuant® PQ 9000 is now bringing state-of-the-art productivity and operator convenience to the most elaborate HR ICP-OES routines.

Probing an analytically superior vertical plasma by end-on and side-on observation with complementary attenuation of both the axial and the radial view, respectively, Dual View PLUS reaches well-beyond traditional boundaries of ICP-OES and thus takes ultra-trace detection capabilities, linear dynamic working ranges as well as the overall signal stabilities a major step ahead. Its fast adaptation of plasma views to the required sensitivities and working ranges ensures supreme operator flexibility at compatible speed and sample costs.

Dual View PLUS means free selection of 2+2 plasma views in every routine and stands for instrumental flexibility instead of lengthy sample preparation. Look forward to the most sensitive axial plasma views on the market: That of PlasmaQuant® PQ 9000!

Sample PreparationSample preparation can improve the quality and speed of separation techniques. Products to assist sample preparation include filtration equipment, evaporators, membranes and sieves.Atomic Absorption / Emission SpectroscopyAtomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and atomic emission spectroscopy (AES) — also called optical emission spectroscopy (OES) — are used to detect the elemental constituents in samples. Both techniques involve the atomization of a sample. Atomic absorption spectrometers may use a flame or furnace to create an atomic vapor of the sample before irradiation with spectral light. Optical emission spectrometers may use a flame, inductively coupled plasma (ICP), microwave plasma (MP) or spark arcs to atomize and excite the sample. At higher excitation energies, electrons can be emitted instead of photons, which can be useful for samples that can’t be atomized and for surface analysis. Explore electron spectroscopy equipment such as Auger spectrometers and photoelectron spectrometers for surface elemental analysis of samples.
