CCD inductively coupled plasma instrument gives simultaneous analysis performance at sequential analysis prices and comes factory calibrated and optimised for ease of use
Spectro has announced the launch of Genesis - its low cost charged coupled device (CCD) inductively coupled plasma (ICP) offering.
For the first time, says Spectro, it offers laboratories, predominantly in the environmental market, a simultaneous CCD ICP system at the price of a sequential system to provide a higher sample throughput at a low price.
The unit comes factory calibrated and optimised for ease of using Spectro's patented Ical (intelligent calibration logic) system.
Spectro says Genesis sets the benchmark for its 'It can be this simple' campaign as it is the only ICP system on the market that does not require any fine adjustment, offering true 'plug in and analyse' functionality.
The sample introduction system does not require any adjustment or optimisation, therefore saving time in both analysis and training while ensuring optimum results regardless of who is operating the system, it says.
The Genesis spectrometer delivers a comprehensive range of benefits, including speed and performance - Simultaneous CCD ICP speed with AA ease-of-use, low price - simultaneous CCD ICP system at the price of a sequential system plus minimal installation and training outlay, Fully US-EPA, ISO, EN and DIN compliant, seamless laboratory integration - claimed to be the smallest bench top footprint currently available on the market with state of the art XML (extended markup language) Lims interface.
Genesis is Ical powered for enhanced ease of use.
Ical (intelligent calibration logic) is said to be a completely novel system.
The software-based system monitors and controls the state of the instrument independent from external influences.
Thus, the time-consuming standardisation of the spectrometer can be eliminated.
Requires no method development - unit can be ordered with factory calibrated method packages for environmental applications.
"Over the last 25 years, optical emission spectrometers with ICP excitation sources have become an indispensable tool for chemical elemental analysis and Spectro has been at the forefront of their development," commented Tom Milner, director of product management at Spectro Analytical Instruments.
"With the Genesis 'It can be this simple' to achieve the highest levels of quality, accuracy and ease of use at a competitive price."
