Prodigy DC Arc Spectrometer-3

If you are searching for a modern DC Arc spectrometer that will significantly increase the productivity of your solid sample analysis, you need to look at the Prodigy DC Arc. Speed & Sample Throughput Prodigy acquires the full DC Arc spectrum in a single burn. This means twice the sample throughput of instruments which require two burns to cover the full wavelength range. Lower Cost of Operation The Prodigy requires only one burn which uses ½ the number of electrodes and takes ½ as much of your operator’s time when compared to existing instruments. Full Wavelength Coverage Prodigy’s Advanced...

Prodigy DC Arc Spectrometer-4

Fast, easy, quantitative, elemental analyses of difficult samples are hallmarks of the DC Arc approach. Few other techniques can challenge the ease-of-use or productivity of DC Arc when it comes to analyzing solid samples that are difficult or impossible to digest. Samples like: • Ceramics: Metal Oxides, Carbides, Borides, Nitrides • Refractory powders: Tungsten Oxide and Zirconium Oxide • Graphite • Geological Materials • Nuclear Materials: Uranium Oxide, Plutonium Oxide • Soils, Sludges, Ashes DC Arc is internationally recognized as the most appropriate technique for the analysis of trace elements...

The Prodigy DC Arc is a State-of-the-Art DC Arc spectrometer that offers many advantages over all of its predecessors. Prodigy’s DC Arc Source Prodigy’s DC Arc stand is a significant improvement over the original “Spex” stand that was used in earlier DC Arc instruments. This new user-friendly arc stand incorporates a counter electrode that simply rotates out of the way to facilitate installation of a new sample electrode and then rotates back into position for the next burn. This new arc stand also features a current-stabilized power supply for enhanced stability. A Stallwood jet, with multiple...

Elimination of Spectral Interferences Accurate results depend on a spectrometer’s ability to distinguish analyte lines from nearby interferences. Prodigy’s long focal length high dispersion spectrometer provides greater spacing between adjacent wavelengths making that differentiation easier. Large Format Programmable Array Detector Prodigy’s high spectral dispersion requires a large detector to capture the full DC Arc spectrum. Imagine that the colored rectangles in the accompanying graphic represent wavelengths of the Echelle spectrum and the gray background represents the size of an array detector....

Advanced Data Handling Capability In addition to standard quantitative analysis capability, Prodigy DC Arc provides advanced tools for data collection and display; tools such as Full Spectrum Acquisition and Time Resolved Analysis (optional). Like older photographic plate instruments, Full Spectrum Acquisition allows the user to capture a permanent record of the DC Arc Spectrum. Unlike photographic plate instruments however, Prodigy also provides powerful spectral manipulation tools for things like identifying unknown emission lines and performing spectral subtractions. Imagine being able to...
