Used THERMO ELECTRON / THERMO FISHER SCIENTIFIC ICP-OES #293778544 for sale

THERMO ELECTRON Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectrometer (THERMO ELECTRON / THERMO FISHER SCIENTIFIC ICP-OES) is an advanced analytical instrument widely used in various industries such as environmental analysis, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, and metals and mining for elemental analysis. This cutting-edge spectrometer combines the capabilities of inductively coupled plasma (ICP) and optical emission spectroscopy to provide highly accurate and precise elemental analysis of a wide range of samples. THERMO ELECTRON ICP-OES works on the principle of using an inductively coupled plasma as a high-temperature ionization source to atomize and excite the sample. The sample is introduced into the plasma torch where it is vaporized and dissociated into its constituent atoms or ions. These atoms or ions are then excited to higher energy levels using the energy from the plasma source. When these excited atoms or ions return to their ground state, they emit characteristic wavelengths of light that are specific to each element. The spectrometer consists of several key components, including the sample introduction system, the plasma torch, the optical interface, and the detector. The sample introduction system is responsible for delivering the sample into the plasma torch in a controlled manner. This can be done using various techniques such as nebulization, aspiration, or direct injection depending on the nature of the sample. The plasma torch is where the sample is introduced and atomized using a high-temperature plasma gas. The plasma is generated by passing an argon gas through a radiofrequency coil, creating a high-energy and high-temperature environment suitable for atomization and excitation of the sample. The plasma torch plays a crucial role in ensuring efficient atomization and excitation of the sample for accurate elemental analysis. The optical interface is responsible for isolating and directing the emitted light from the plasma torch to the detector. The emitted light passes through a series of lenses, filters, and diffraction gratings to separate the different wavelengths of light emitted by the excited atoms or ions. This allows for the identification and quantification of the elemental composition of the sample based on the characteristic emission lines. The detector is the final component of THERMO FISHER SCIENTIFIC ICP-OES system and is used to measure the intensity of the emitted light at specific wavelengths. The detector converts the optical signal into an electrical signal that is then processed by the spectrometer software to generate a spectral profile of the sample. This spectral profile can be used to quantify the concentration of elements present in the sample based on the intensity of the emitted light. In addition to its high sensitivity and precision, ICP-OES offers a wide dynamic range, rapid analysis speed, and low detection limits. It is equipped with advanced features such as dual-view technology, collision/reaction cell technology, and automated sample handling capabilities to enhance analytical performance and productivity. Overall, THERMO ELECTRON / THERMO FISHER SCIENTIFIC ICP-OES is a state-of-the-art analytical instrument that provides reliable and accurate elemental analysis for a wide range of applications. Its robust design, advanced features, and user-friendly interface make it an indispensable tool for researchers, scientists, and analysts in need of high-performance elemental analysis capabilities.
