Advanced Dilution System ADS 2

To increase the efficiency of labs equipped with Agilent ICP-OES or ICP-MS instrumentation, Agilent Technologies has developed the Advanced Dilution System 2 (ADS 2) – a fully integrated inline autodilution system designed for routine, high-throughput applications. The ADS 2 can automatically dilute stock standards and samples up to 400 times, making it ideal for the auto-preparation of calibration standards and samples, or dilution of over-range samples. Explore the features, applications, and benefits of AGS 2 that are helping to automate calibration and sample dilution for ICP-OES and ICP-MS technologies.

Performing trace and ultra-trace elemental analysis is important to meet regulations in various industries including environmental and food testing. However, often the presence of high total dissolved solids (TDS) in samples introduces challenges in spectroscopy analysis such as spectral interferences, nebulizer blockages, and the need for frequent dilutions. These issues can result in sample re-runs and increased instrument maintenance.

Discover an innovative solution that prioritizes both the hardware and software of Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES) and Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) instruments, that can help analysts generate high-quality data easier and more quickly with less user intervention.

Join Dr. Raimund Wahlen, Product Specialist at Agilent Technologies, and Dr. Pierre Burckel, Application Engineer in Atomic Spectroscopy, at Agilent Technologies as they introduce the IntelliQuant feature on Agilent ICP platforms. Learn how this semiquantitative analysis tool can quickly provide a full picture of the entire sample composition for method development and thereby guide the analyst in deciding which wavelengths, or isotopes, are the best options for target analytes or internal standard elements. Different high TDS nebulizers are compared and evaluated in terms of their sensitivity, precision, tolerance to total dissolved solids, particle size handling, and maintenance requirements. Finally, automated hardware features to address high levels of dissolved solids in solutions will be discussed.

Key learning objectives:

• Discover strategies for dealing with high TDS content in samples
• Find out how to select the best sample introduction components for different sample types
• Learn how to identify and address spectral interferences in unknown samples
• Understand how automation can address dilution of high matrix samples and improve sample throughput

Who should attend?

• Lab managers, QC lab technicians, researchers and analysts working in contract testing labs, food testing, environmental testing, public health and public analyst labs.

Agilent’s automated sample dilution systems can solve a range of common problems in a metals analysis lab. Discover how the use of an autosampler means analyses can be performed 24/7, how a switching valve doubles sample throughput, and how the autodilutor automates sample dilutions and standard preparation. Explore how these components work seamlessly together, reducing pressure on laboratories with a single-vendor solution that enables the automation of ICP-OES and ICP-MS analyses.

Explore Agilent’s new Advanced Dilution System 2 (ADS 2) autodilutor, which creates an intelligent, all-Agilent automation system for ICP-OES and ICP-MS analyses. Discover how you can simplify your laboratory workflow by automating several laborious and error-prone tasks, such as preparing calibration standards, diluting samples before analysis, and preparing reactive dilutions for over-range samples and QC solution failures.

Agilent’s intelligent new Advanced Dilution System (ADS 2) has been designed to integrate into and fully automate Agilent ICP-OES and ICP-MS metals analysis workflows. This frees up time in the laboratory for analysts to focus on less manual tasks, reducing error, cost, and improving turnaround time. See how the ADS 2 works, with mechanisms such as in-line dilution with dilution factors from 2 to 400x; auto-calibration assistant; and automatic sample dilution. Understand the benefits of an all-Agilent workflow, which works seamlessly and simplifies support calls.
