ICP-OES - SPECTRO ARCOS

Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) is a powerful method for the determination of trace elements in Au or Au jewellery alloys. Using the simultaneous SPECTRO CIROS VISION spectrometer excellent detection limits, in the µg/kg-range, for trace elements in gold are achieved. Additionally, the Au content of a 99.9 % (m/m) gold can be obtained by subtraction of the total determined content of impurities in the sample from 100%. Over the last 25 years ICP-OES spectrometers, also known as ICP-AES or ICP plasma spectrometers, have become an indispensable tool for chemical elemental analysis. Optical emission spectrometers with inductively coupled plasma (ICP plasma) excitation sources offer ease of use, high sensitivity and precision and relative freedom from interferences. ICP-OES systems have now become the analytical method of choice for a wide range of applications. Since the introduction of its first ICP spectrometer, SPECTRO has managed to continuously set performance benchmarks. Today, the new SPECTRO ARCOS*, an ICP instrument with a unique optical system, is probably the most powerful, flexible, and fastest ICP spectrometer, the world has ever seen.
