A new innovative approach to ICP spectroscopy, offering potentially great benefits to analytical chemists, was rewarded at Pittcon this year
Horiba Jobin Yvon's Activa-M builds on the success of Activa's CCD-based design, maintaining the superiority of its vertical torch-based Total Plasma View, superb resolution across the 120-800nm spectral range and huge linear dynamic range.
But now the benefits of CCD-based, multi-line analysis are made readily available through sophisticated, yet simple-to-use software tools.
Relying on a comprehensive ICP wavelength database containing information on line width, limit of detection and dynamic range for each line, Master (multi-line analysis, selection tool for enhanced reliability) software offers a new approach.
Master performs a multi-line selection according to the concentration range of each element and matrix influences, thereby simplifying the development and validation of new applications or changes to routine analyses.
Visualisation of the selected lines and regions around them allows simple, final validation.
Together with Image, which allows a complete spectrum acquisition for unknown samples, Horiba Jobin Yvon says it has presented the most powerful software package available today.
Activa-M brings the advantages of multi-line analysis within the grasp of all users, bringing with it, greater confidence in results and time savings.
