What is ICP-OES used for?

ICP-OES is primarily used for quantitative elemental analysis, determining the concentration of multiple elements in a wide range of sample types simultaneously.

What maintenance does an ICP-OES typically require?

Routine maintenance commonly involves cleaning or replacing the torch, nebuliser, and pump tubing, along with periodic calibration and optical system checks.

Can this unit analyse solid samples?

A standard ICP-OES system like the Ultima 2 is designed for liquid samples. Solid samples typically require digestion or an accessory like a laser ablation system for introduction.

What are the typical space requirements for an ICP-OES?

For this class of equipment, a dedicated bench space of at least 1.5 to 2 metres in length is typically needed, plus space for the chiller and gas cylinders.

Is specialist training required to operate an ICP-OES?

Yes, operating an ICP-OES system effectively requires specialist training due to its complexity, safety considerations, and the need for method development expertise.

Typical context for this category of equipment. Always confirm specifics with the seller.

Elemental analysis in environmental monitoring, such as water and soil testing.
Quality control and assurance in manufacturing, including metals, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals.
Research and development in materials science, geology, and life sciences.
Analysis of food and beverage products for trace elements and contaminants.
Geochemical analysis for mining and exploration.

Measurement Principle: Inductively Coupled Plasma - Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES).
Typical Wavelength Range: Typically covers a broad range, for this class of equipment, often 160 nm to 800 nm.
Detection Limits: Commonly in the parts per billion (ppb) to parts per trillion (ppt) range, depending on the element and matrix.
Sample Introduction: Typically liquid samples introduced via a peristaltic pump and nebuliser system.
Power Supply: Units of this type commonly require a 200-240V, 50/60Hz, three-phase power supply, with significant power draw for the RF generator.
Cooling: An external chiller unit is typically required for plasma torch and RF generator cooling.
Gas Requirements: High-purity argon gas is essential for plasma generation and spectrometer purging.

Spectrophotometers remain valued across research, QA and diagnostics for their precision and reliability. Buyers typically prioritise wavelength range, optical bench condition and calibration history when purchasing used units. These instruments generally perform consistently when properly maintained. Common strengths include straightforward operation, durability of core optical components, and wide availability of compatible software. Prospective buyers should verify calibration certificates and request functional testing data before purchase.
