With PerkinElmer instruments and the ESI Fast system, laboratories can improve the sample throughput of their ICP-MS and ICP up to 50 percent and enhance return on investment
PerkinElmer Life and Analytical Sciences has struck an agreement with Elemental Scientific (ESI) to offer integrated sample introduction systems to improve throughput when making measurements under EPA Methods 200.7 and 200.8, which focus on the determination of metal concentration in drinking water, in addition to other environmental applications.
ESI's sample changer (SC)-Fast system fully integrates with PerkinElmer's inorganic spectrometers and is offered with PerkinElmer's Elan inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) and Optima Inductively coupled plasma (ICP) instrumentation.
The system reduces non-productive time segments of the analysis, including uptake, stabilization and rinse times.
"PerkinElmer's Elan and Optima instrumentation are a perfect fit with ESI's SC-Fast system," said Dan Wiederin, president of ESI.
"The software PerkinElmer uses to control sample introduction is a flexible and user-friendly interface to ESI sample introduction systems.
"The combination of the SC-Fast with Elan and Optima offers laboratories dramatic benefits in throughput and data quality."
