cost, downtime and leakage risk

Meinhard Type K1 and standard baffled cyclonic spray chamber

9-hour stability run results in <1% RSD


Universal Data Acquisition - UDA

• UDA gathers data for all 6300+ wavelengths available on both


detectors for each sample
• Simple click to turn on
• Uses approx 80kB
• No time penalty
• Live concentration results on screen for every element

Benefits
• No need to re-analyse samples for additional elements/ to
confirm results
• Saves analyses time (and money) during method development,
all of this can be done offline (not using gas, sample.)
UDA for Quantitative Analysis Scenario…
Enter calibration concentrations and reprocess data
Quantitation with UDA standard sets

• UDA Standard set


◦ Covers a wide element range (69 elements)
◦ Include UDA standards in run
• ALL wavelengths info is collected with UDA
• Retrospective quant analysis
◦ Calibrate any UDA element not part in your original standards mix
◦ Assign internal standard
◦ Reprocess with UDA solution as standard
◦ Quantitative analysis result – however only 1 concentration level

Attenuation mode

• Ability to extend the dynamic range is valuable for the analysis of high
concentration samples.

• Attenuation Mode provides a simple way to dramatically extend the


dynamic range (ca. 50x)

• Eliminate the need for additional sample prep or repeat analyses.

• Avoids the efforts involved with validating alternate wavelengths.

• Freely selectable, element by element.

• Allows measurement of both high & low concentration elements in the


same method, using a mix of attenuated and unattenuated modes.

• Comparison of detector saturation limits for Attenuated and Normal modes
