Technology & Performance Features

• Flat Plate Plasma Technology: Replaces traditional helical load coils with maintenance-free flat plates, doubling plasma stability while reducing argon gas consumption by half. 

• True Simultaneous Detection: Employs two solid-state segmented-array charge-coupled device (SCD) detectors for the UV and visible spectrums, ensuring simultaneous measurement of all wavelengths for faster analysis. 

• Dual-View Capabilities: Offers axial viewing for ultra-low trace-level detection limits and radial viewing to extend the working linear dynamic range for higher concentrations. 

• PlasmaCam Viewing Camera: An integrated color camera provides continuous, real-time monitoring of the plasma torch to streamline method development and remote diagnostics. 

• Shear Gas System: Uses compressed air rather than expensive gases to clear the cool tail plume of the plasma, minimizing interferences and preventing matrix buildup

Standard System Configurations

• The Spectrometer Base Unit: The PerkinElmer Optima 8300 spectrometer with shock-mounted optics and automatic wavelength calibration. 

• Autosampler Units: Typically bundled with automated options like the PerkinElmer S10 Autosampler or the S23 series to automate the handling of up to 100+ sample tubes. 

• Computer Workstation: A dedicated PC running PerkinElmer WinLab32 or Syngistix software for data acquisition, background corrections, and workflow control. 

• Recirculating Chiller: External water-cooling units (such as Polyscience chillers) designed to strictly maintain system temperature equilibrium.
