Agilent 5800 ICP-OES Instrument

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.

In this application note, Agilent Technologies gives an overview of the regulations and standards for batteries and battery materials and the typical elemental analysis testing for each stage of the battery lifecycle.

The lithium battery industry requires the analysis of the elemental composition of materials along the value chain:

• Lithium and other minerals extraction: identification and quantification of elements in ores and brines, and of metal and magnetic impurities in the refining process
  
• Lithium battery research and development: studying the interactions between components, studying the impact of different elements used in batteries to improve battery safety, performance, cycle life, power density, and energy density, measuring elements in decomposition products
  
• Lithium battery manufacturing quality control: measuring impurities in anode, cathode and electrolyte materials, controlling any restricted elements such as lead, mercury, and chromium
  
• Manufacturing environmental monitoring: ensuring factory discharges comply with regulated limits
  
• Lithium battery recycling and resource recovery of valuable metal elements (Ni, Co, Mn, Li, etc.)

In this infographic, learn more about the current challenges laboratories face when it comes to achieving sustainability goals and discover Agilent innovations and initiatives designed to help laboratories with going green.

This handbook details the array of applications that can be undertaken using the Agilent 8800 and 8900 instruments. The Agilent 8800 ICP-QQQ signaled a major advance in ICP-MS technology and redefined performance for trace element analysis. Compared to existing quadrupole ICP-MS instruments, the 8800 ICP-QQQ promised significant analytical benefits across many applications. Building on the success of the 8800, the 8900 ICP-QQQ provides performance and productivity improvements to address an even wider range of applications.

In an online poll, conducted in 2019, over 200 respondents indicated the percentage of ICP-OES samples they were having to measure more than once. On average, they were remeasuring 15% of their samples. Are you spending too much time remeasuring samples when you could be spending it on valuable work? Find out how to solve this problem and save time, by downloading Agilent's new eBook.

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.
