The Macylab ICP-6800S is a direct-reading Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometer (ICP-OES) designed for the determination of trace elements in various substances. It is capable of analyzing liquid samples dissolved in common acids, including nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, and hydrofluoric acid.
Operating with a 1000mm focal length Czerny-Turner optical system, the instrument allows laboratories to choose between different holographic gratings to optimize for either resolution or wavelength range. By utilizing an imported Photomultiplier Tube (PMT) detector and a solid-state RF power supply with an automatic matching function, the ICP-6800S provides a reliable hardware platform for routine elemental analysis.
Key Features
Solid-State RF Power Supply: Features an automatic matching function operating at a frequency of 27.12MHz. It provides an adjustable power output between 500W and 1600W, maintaining a strict power output stability of <0.3%.
Czerny-Turner Optical System: Utilizes a 1000mm focal length optical bench equipped with an ion beam etching holographic grating. Users can configure the system with either a 3600 lines/mm or 2400 lines/mm grating based on specific analytical requirements.
Photomultiplier Tube (PMT) Detector: Integrates high-performance R293 or R928 PMT detectors with a stable negative high voltage supply (0-1000V, stability <0.05%), ensuring consistent photoelectric conversion of the emission signals.
Precision Sampling System: Includes a three-concentric torque tube (20mm external diameter), a 6mm coaxial nebulizer, and a 34mm double barrel atomizing chamber to support efficient sample introduction and aerosol generation.
Controlled Gas Flow: Carrier, plasma, and auxiliary Argon gas flows are regulated through dedicated flowmeters, accompanied by a 0-0.4MPa pressure maintaining valve for stable plasma operation.
