Bormioli Rocco has purchased and deployed the 2000th Thermo Scientific Icap 6000 Series inductively coupled plasma (ICP) emission spectrometer.
Bormioli Rocco produces glass and plastic pharmaceutical packaging, glass containers for perfumery and foodstuffs, and glass tableware.
It relies on ICP emission spectrometry to ensure that alkaline metal concentrations in their glass materials conform to current European legislation.
Since deployment, Bormioli Rocco has increased lab productivity while lowering its costs.
Bormioli Rocco selected the Thermo Scientific Icap 6300 Duo ICP for its flexibility and exceptional performance capabilities, which ensure accurate, precise analytical results and higher productivity.
Also important was the small footprint of the system, which makes it easier to transport and install, an important benefit for modern labs, where bench space is limited.
The Icap 6300 Duo ICP spectrometer features dedicated radial and duo plasma-viewing options for enhanced application flexibility.
The instrument's high-efficiency optical design facilitates simultaneous analysis of 66 elements, providing detection limits at less than 1ppb.
In addition, the system offers powerful full-frame technology for fingerprinting and retrospective analysis, as well as unique EMT torch technology for routine maintenance operations without switching off the plasma.
Laboratories use the Icap 6000 ICP emission spectrometers to detect and measure low levels of toxic elements and a diverse range of pollutant elements in the global environmental, metallurgical, petrochemical, food and pharmaceutical industries.
