Sensitive, economical and high throughput elemental analysis from Shimadzu

The ICPE-9000 instrument from Shimadzu is a simultaneous ICP-OES spectrometer for elemental analysis of biodiesel and other challenging samples, perfect for daily routine use in diverse applications, such as forensics and environmental science. The ICPE-9000 combines inductively coupled plasma (ICP) with optical emission spectroscopy (OES), giving high throughput over a wide concentration range with high sensitivity and low running costs.

The large-scale, 1 mega pixel Charge-Coupled Device detector and an Echelle spectrometer in the ICPE-9000 provide high-speed measurements and precise resolution, with samples analysed in just a few minutes. The ICPE-9000 can distinguish between wavelengths differing by only 0.02 nm, detecting dissimilar elements like copper and phosphorus. The vacuum spectrometer in the ICPE-9000 and precise temperature control to the nearest 0.1 °C give stable performance in long-term analyses. The vacuum spectrometer in the ICPE-9000 is the first of its kind to be equipped with semiconductor detectors and eliminates the need for high purity purge gas.

Easy-to-use, innovative ICPEsolution Software on the ICPE-9000 incorporates a Method Development Assistant and a Diagnosis Assistant, for easy handling of both automatic wavelength optimization and interference corrections. All element and wavelength data are collected during sample measurements, simplifying data evaluation and recalculation.
