Used THERMO ELECTRON / THERMO FISHER SCIENTIFIC ICP-OES #9184855 for sale

THERMO ELECTRON / THERMO FISHER SCIENTIFIC ICP-OES (Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry) is an analytical tool used to identify and quantify elemental composition of samples. This kind of spectrometer consists of two main components, the inductively coupled plasma (ICP) source and the optical emission (OE) detector. The ICP source is an electrical device that enables the conversion of a sample to a plasma state. The plasma is generated via an electrical current which is passed through an argon-filled cell containing the sample. The sample is then atomized and ionized by the heat and current supplied from the plasma. The ionized atoms are further excited and emit light in the form of optical emission. The OE detector then captures these optical signals and converts them into an electrically readable format for further analysis. This spectrometer is commonly used in various industries for analysis of elemental composition of samples such as soil, water, food, and minerals. THERMO ELECTRON ICP-OES has many advantages over many other spectroscopic techniques. It offers several advantages compared to atomic absorption (AA) spectrometry, such as short measurement times, small sample volumes, and a higher range of detectable concentrations. This spectrometer is also more reliable and accurate for elemental analysis than other spectroscopic techniques, due to the use of a high-powered plasma. In addition, THERMO FISHER SCIENTIFIC ICP-OES is capable of detecting elements over a large range of concentrations, from parts-per-billion up to parts-per-million. This makes it useful for quality control purposes as well as for research and development purposes. ICP-OES instrument requires a few accessories to be able to function. This consists of a sample introduction device for introducing sample material into the ICP, a sample delivery equipment for relocating the sample material to the OE cell, OE optics for focusing and analyzing the optical emission spectrum, and a data processing unit for transforming the collected data into information. The performance of THERMO ELECTRON / THERMO FISHER SCIENTIFIC ICP-OES system is typically sensitive to the quality of the source material as well as the plasma parameters. The ICP's parameters must be regularly monitored to ensure that the unit is operating properly and efficiently. The ICP's source material must also be checked to ensure the presence of impurities or contaminants. This is important to ensure proper sample preparation as well as to reduce the presence of background noise. Lastly, the OE optics needs to be regularly checked to ensure that they are focused properly on the sample. Overall, THERMO ELECTRON ICP-OES is an invaluable analytical tool in modern laboratories. This spectroscopy machine allows for rapid analysis of samples, even those containing small amounts of elements, as well as detect elements over a large range of concentrations. It is extremely reliable and accurate and requires very little sample preparation or special equipment. For all these reasons, THERMO FISHER SCIENTIFIC ICP-OES spectrometer is a powerful tool in various laboratories and industries.
