HORIBA Jobin Yvon, Elemental Analysis Division:the solution for inorganic analysis

Besides our ACTIVA-M, HORIBA Jobin Yvon propo- ses a full range of ICP-AES instruments, offering the best configuration suitable to your requirements.ICP spectroscopy is also used for WEEE/RoHS/ELVcompliance testing when XRF screening indicates that a hazardous substance is present at or above the limit, or when the detection capability of XRF is not suffi- cient to detect the low level of these substances. The new XGT-WR series, EDXRF analytical Imaging Microscope, also offered by HORIBA Jobin Yvon, provides very good sensitivity for compliance screening and is complementary to the ICP performance.HORIBA Jobin Yvon, is also a major supplier forsystems dedicated to Solid analysis. GDS (Glow Dis- charge Spectrometry, based on optical emission) is the ideal technique for both bulk analysis in solids (conductive or not) and depth profiling for layer characterisation of coatings or surface treatments. For elemental analysis, HORIBA Jobin Yvon gives youthe opportunity to choose the instrument that fits your needs for Carbon/Sulfur analysis (EMIA series) or Oxygen/Nitrogen/Hydrogen analysis (EMGA series). From ppm to 100%, C/S and O/N/H are analyzed insolids or powders, as a complement to ICP-AES, forapplications like steel, pure and precious metals, cement, alloys, soil… There is also the SLFA series to determine Sulfur from 0.03 ppm up to 10% in a wide variety of petroleum based products.Our commitment to support our users is expanded tothe offer of both analytical and technical assistance directly or through our global network of representati- ves. A wide range of documents is available, including user and technical manuals as well as application and technical notes, for your support. Training (on-site orat HORIBA Jobin Yvon application laboratories) andanalytical assistance give the operators the help and knowledge to perform analysis under optimum conditions. ACTIVA family and ULTIMA 2 family provide a largechoice of solutions for a laboratory. ACTIVA-S combines simplicity of operation together with robustness and stability. Based on CCD detection, it offers performance and flexibility. ACTIVA-M expandsthe application capabilitiesthrough assistant tools and enables the analyst to easily become an expert, regardless of the complexity of the application. High quality of results is achieved, ensuring optimum routine analysis conditions. Alternative wave- lengthsand halogens are measurable thanks to far UVcapability. ULTIMA 2 features the lowest detection limits availa- ble today, with single view radial plasma and the best optical resolution. Adding a direct viewed simulta- neous optical system to this model (ULTIMA 2C and ULTIMA 2CHR) provides a complete solution for a la- boratory with the speed and flexibility required for many applications where the need for a fast analysis time must not compromise instrument performance. The simultaneous system also achieves excellent preci-sion on major elemental determinations, and with ULTIMA 2CHR, optimum analytical performance is gained for the most complex materials. HORIBA Jobin Yvon is completing the offer in ICPanalysis with 2 separate ranges of inorganic standards, SPEX Certiprep (triple checked) standards and Précis standards. One can use different lots supplied by 2 sources for calibration and validation, as recommen- ded by Good Laboratory Practices, ordered from a sin- gle vendor.
