SPECTRO GENESIS - Condition Monitoring System

Product catalog summary

SPECTRO GENESIS ICP-OES Overview
The SPECTRO GENESIS is an inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES) designed for the analysis of wear metals in lubricating oils. It offers high performance, affordability, and ease of use, making it ideal for condition monitoring and preventing equipment failure.

Key Advantages

Full-spectrum capability for additive, wear, and trace element analysis, with high sensitivity for light elements like Na, Mg, Al, and Si.
Simultaneous analysis with sample cycle times of 90 seconds, regardless of the number of elements.
Comes with factory methods compliant with ASTM and EN standards, ready for immediate use.
Low operating costs due to an ultra-low purge gas rate.
Complete spectrum capture for each measurement, allowing for later evaluation.

Technical Specifications

Compact and lightweight design, suitable for tight laboratory spaces.
Side-on interface for radial plasma observation, providing robustness and precision.
Advanced optical system with continuous wavelength coverage from 175 nm to 520 nm.
Capable of analyzing up to 320 samples in an 8-hour shift, outperforming traditional FAAS instruments.

Standards Compliance

ASTM: D4951-09, D5185-09, D7111-11, D7691-11
EN: 14538:2006, 16294:2012

Performance and Stability

Demonstrates excellent long-term stability and sensitivity for both light and wear elements.
Features a solid-state 4.5 kV power supply and a free-running 27 MHz oscillator for high plasma load stability.

Comparison with FAAS

FAAS instruments are limited in speed and element range compared to SPECTRO GENESIS, which offers faster analysis and can handle elements like silicon, aluminum, and phosphorus.

SPECTRO GENESIS - Condition Monitoring System-3

FAAS versus ICP The high price of conventional ICP-OES spectrometers has meant that many laboratories still depend on flame atomic absorption spectroscopy (FAAS) for used oil analysis. However, labs are increasingly finding that FAAS systems can’t keep up with their growing productivity needs. For most condition monitoring labs running more than 50 samples per day with 10 or more elements, the SPECTRO GENESIS petrochemical package represents the ideal solution. Stability test (oil diluted in kerosene 1:10) Concentration: 10 ppm Normalized Concentration [%] be analyzed. Plus it enables safe automatic...
