Agilent's 5110 Synchronous Vertical Dual View (SVDV) ICP-OES combines both speed and analytical performance, without compromising on either. Other aspects of the design of the 5110 offer further advantages, including: Maximise productivity Reduce your cost-per-analysis and double your productivity by using the optional Advanced Valve System (AVS) 6/7 switching valve.

5 Ability to measure all wavelengths in one measurement, for higher precision without delays. The unique design of the 5110 introduces the concept Quicker start up, with the zero gas consumption of Synchronous Vertical Dual View measurements for VistaChip II detector that shortens warm-up time. the first time. Most commercially available ICP-OES. instruments can take measurements using either Great performance radial or axial viewing of the PLASMA . The choice of Accurate and sensitive analysis of tough samples view depends on the element being quantified and with a vertical torch, including high matrix samples the matrix of the sample. Dual-view' ICP instruments through to volatile organic solvents. can take measurements in both axial and radial view.

6 Most require you to set up a series of sequential Reduced sample uptake, stabilization times, and rinse measurements, selecting which elements are measured delays using the optional Advanced Valve System in axial mode, and which are measured in radial mode. that features controlled bubble injection to achieve Some systems also use two slits to measure low and highest analytical precision. high wavelengths in each mode, resulting in up to four sequential measurements on each sample, making Long term analytical stability due to a solid-state RF. sample throughput slow. system that delivers a robust PLASMA . Instead of taking measurements using an axial view Less gas of the PLASMA and then another measurement of the A 50% saving in gas used per sample (compared to radial view, the 5110's design needs only a single other ICPs) due to the faster analysis times measurement per sample.

7 To achieve this, the instrument uses an Agilent-designed Dichroic Spectral Combiner (DSC). This OPTICAL component Ease of use allows both the axial and radial views of the PLASMA The intutive software and plug-and-play hardware to be captured in one reading. Light from the axial makes analysis easy, even for inexperienced view is reflected by one side of the DSC onto the operators. detector and light from the radial view is transmitted through the DSC and reflected onto the detector (refer to the illustration, opposite). This delivers accurate results in the quickest possible time1. 3. AGILENT TECHNOLOGIES.

8 The 5110 SVDV ICP-OES needs only a single measurement per sample. The Dichroic Spectral Combiner (DSC) allows both the axial and radial views of the PLASMA to be captured in one reading. The result is that the 5110 can measure samples 55% faster than other ICP-OES instruments can achieve, with a resulting 50% gas saving. Axial light > 40 L. To detector 27 L.

Combiner (DSC) The 5110 ICP-OES has the lowest argon consumption per sample of any ICP-OES instrument. 1. The analysis speed and gas consumption figures are compared to competitive systems, based on published application data.

Sample loading, approximately 5 s The AVS 6/7 is an optional accessory for the 5110. ICP-OES instrument. It features a unique 2 position, 6 or 7 port switching valve (the 7th port is for internal standardization) and a high speed positive displacement pump to rapidly fill the sample loop. Controlled argon bubble injection reduces uptake 3. Stabilization (approx 3 s) and bubble injection delay and virtually eliminates rinse times to facilitate high throughput sample analysis.
