Nieuw MultiVIEW magnetron ontsluitingssysteem

/in /by

SCP Science heeft een uniek, volautomatische magnetron ontsluitingstunnel gelanceerd; de MultiVIEW. SamplePrep voor de ICP-OES en/of ICP-MS analyse.

Bijzonder aan dit systeem is dat grote reeksen monsters die uiteenlopend van aard zijn achter elkaar ontsloten kunnen worden. Dit als monstervoorbewerking voor analyse met de ICP-OES of ICP-MS. Per individueel monster kan dan ook een andere temperatuur gestuurde methode worden toegewezen!

Dit is mogelijk omdat het systeem uitgerust is met 12 dynamische Microwave Cavities die per positie afzonderlijk regelbaar zijn. Iedere positie is uitgerust met een eigen magnetron en IR  temperatuursensor.

Van alle 12 posities wordt real time weergave van temperatuur versus tijd getoond.

In combinatie met 4  AutoLOADER units is het mogelijk om tot 300 monsters automatisch achter elkaar te ontsluiten.

Het systeem wordt geleverd met een geïntegreerd 15” kleuren Touch Screen dat alle operationele parameters overzichtelijk in beeld brengt. Het scherm beschikt over een gebruiksvriendelijke intuïtieve interface die tijdens de run de ontsluitingsparameters laat zien en waarmee u de run op ieder moment kan wijzigen of stoppen.

Als het nodig is om in te zoomen op een afzonderlijk monster, dan kan dat. U kunt een monster op een volledig scherm bekijken met maximale details.  Ter informatie wordt ook de intensiteit van de magnetron power weergegeven.

How to Reduce Interferences for 69 Elements

/in /by

Inorganic Ventures will provide you an insight into their kitchen on Thursday, July 1, 2021, between 15:00 -16:00h (Amsterdam time).

In a webinar, the chemists at Inorganc Ventures will walk you through the creation of calibration standards. In doing so, they take into account chemical compatibility and potential interference issues.

How to reduce interferences for 69 elements?

Furthermore, the capabilities and limitations of the ICP-OES instrumentation are discussed, including sample introduction systems and axial versus radial views. You will learn how to prepare a diverse population of samples to avoid detailed matrix matching. Finally, we discuss the data Workup process and demonstrate how user-generated interference tables are used to interpret your data.

This presentation will discuss the design of the test method used in the lab for Custom CRM products. This ICP-OES method is a good example of the process you can follow in creating methods in your lab for solving your unique challenges.

Inorganic Ventures’ Quality Control department is responsible for the daily testing of all Custom made Certified Reference Materials (CRMs) to ensure product accuracy. Inorganic Ventures’ CRM library contains over 65,000 different products and is still growing every day. A robust ICP-OES testing method is required to ensure the accuracy of nearly all Custom CRMs.

Takeaways:
1. You will learn how to create ICP-OES calibration standards that account for chemical compatibility and interferences.
2. We’ll share the best options for sample prep when you’re dealing with lots of samples
3. You will learn how to make manual corrections for spectral interferences.
4. We will explain how to extend the calibration range and still get reliable results.
