ICP-OES

The Optima 8000 ICP-OES (Inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometer) is equipped with a unique double monochromator, dual backside-illuminated charge-coupled device detector, real time dynamic wavelength stabilization, and automatic dual viewing of the plasma torch.

It provides fast and reliable analysis of major and minor elements of small samples in solution. It can be used for routine multi-element analysis (ppb to ppm range) of environmental, geological or biological samples.
