ICP-OES ACTIVA-M - 25366 The Art of CCD-based ICP-AES

ACTIVAnalyst software, to operate the instrument atits best

As a whole, the strong interaction between instrumental configuration and software tools is the essence of this revolutionary approach. ACTIVA-M offers an incom- parable and practical use of multi-line analysis, regard-less of the expertise of the user. The instrument is usedat its best through time saving and user-friendly step- by-step operations. Everyone can easily become an expert in ICP analysis. Available in multi-language versions, the software provides a practical use for first-time operators, as well as optimisation capabilities for trained users.Some software functions are keys to a secure multi-useroperation of the instrument: on-line laboratory note- book; multi-user and multi-level security (biometric signature log-on available); computer programmable plasma conditions by method.First-time users quickly become confident throughassistance functions along the analytical methodology process: IMAGE for automatic semi-quantitative analy- sis; MASTER for lines selection; a Database of matrices, wavelengths and spectroscopic data, quality controls, sample tolerance tables and standards; optimization of integration time for each element based on sensitivity, speed and precision criteria from user’s input; SOS for evaluation of results.High sample throughput is achieved with the auto-sam-pler (benefiting from bar code identification of samples) and with automated analysis using a multi-method sequence for samples of various matrices requiring dif- ferent methods. Programmable calibration re-sloping and QC checks, with user-defined actions, ensure the automatic sequence processing, and the SOS tool gua- ranties the quality of results. The ICP system offers increased productivity through automatic user program- mable start up and shutdown. This also minimizes argon gas consumption. Urgent samples can be easily inserted at any time in a sequence in-run, using either the current method or other methods.Analytical criteria (accuracy, repeatability…) can beoptimised if required using various correction methods: controlled Standard Addition Method; automatic calcu- lation of additive and multiplicative Inter-ElementCorrection factors; Internal Standard correction; auto- dilution process; drift correction & high precision data processing; results reprocessing after calibration or pa- rameters changes.The simultaneous measurement allows visualising thespectra of lines and their vicinity during analysis for confirmation or identification of unexpected spectral interferences.Results are fully utilised through :
