2 Min Read
WALTHAM, Mass.PerkinElmer Inc. has launched its Optima8x00 series of Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometers (ICP-OES) to improve performance and reduce operating costs for analysis of environmental, food, pharmaceutical, product safety and geochemical samples. According to the company, the Optima 8x00 ICP-OES platform offers improved ICP-OES is a highly sensitive, rapid technique for determining the elemental composition of a wide variety of sample types.
The Optima 8x00 series is designed for ease of use and exceptional throughput and detection limits, which helps maximize productivity and profitability of testing laboratories. PerkinElmer considered customer needs and real-world applications when developing the Optima 8x00 series with a number of new features that will help laboratories lower their cost per analysis and more easily meet the ever-changing regulatory requirements. Key features include:
eNeb Sample Introduction: By generating a constant flow of small uniform droplets, eNeb enables the Optima to deliver superior instrument stability and detection limitsideal for environmental and pharmaceutical labs.
Flat Plate Plasma Technology: A patented RF generator featuring maintenance-free plasma induction plates in place of the traditional helical load coil. With no cooling required and reduced argon consumption, operating costs are dramatically reduced.
PlasmaCam Viewing Camera: By offering continuous viewing of the plasma, this integrated camera simplifies method development and enables remote diagnostic capabilities for maximum uptime. This is ideal for high-throughput contract labs in food/product safety/geochemical.
Whether the challenge is identifying and quantifying environmental contaminants, or determining the quality of pharmaceuticals and nutraceutical supplements, the new Optima 8x00 series is an ideal solution for todays laboratories, said Dusty Tenney, president, analytical sciences and laboratory services, PerkinElmer. We are excited to launch the next generation of ICP-OES instruments, which will further improve productivity, sensitivity and cost of ownership to meet the diverse needs of todays labs, worldwide.
The Optima 8x00 series will be available globally in May 2011. For more information, visit www.perkinelmer.com/optima8x00.
