From Agilent Technologies – New Revision of ICP -MS MassHunter, Agilent Compliance Software
Options, and USP<232>
An updated version of ICP-MS MassHunter software for the 7700 Series ICP-MS and 8800 ICP-QQQ has been released. The major developments
in the new B.01.03 revision are:
• Adds support for OpenLAB Data Store compliance software
• Enhanced functionality with SDA and OpenLAB ECM compliance software
• New Preset Method for USP<232>/<233> Elemental Impurities in pharma products
• New data output and report storage options
• Support for GC 7890B
• Support for Injector Program for LC autosamplers
The addition of support for Agilent’s Data Store compliance software means that Agilent ICP-MS users now have a complete range of
compliance solutions to choose from, depending on their lab type, number of ICP-MS instruments, data volume, and security requirements.
The new B.01.03 revision of ICP-MS MassHunter ships as standard with all new 7700 Series ICP-MS and 8800 ICP-QQQ
instruments from August 2013.
From SPECT RO – SPECT ROBLUE ICP -OES analyzer
now available in three versions: Axial, Radial or the
combination of Axial and Radial observation
SPECTRO Analytical Instruments now offers three versions of its
SPECTROBLUE ICP-OES. These models set new benchmarks for compact,
mid-range analyzers characterized by high performance, simple operation,
low maintenance, and great affordability.
SPECTROBLUE EOP, the unique axial interface version, provides high
sensitivity and detection limits for superior analysis of industrial and
environmental trace elements.
SPECTROBLUE SOP radial interface version offers precise performance at
higher sample concentrations, exhibiting excellent tolerance for high saline
and organic fractions plus superb analysis of suspensions and slurries.
SPECTROBLUE TI twin-interface version automatically performs both axial
and radial viewing of the plasma. This optimizes linearity and dynamic range,
while enabling high-sensitivity measurement of toxic elements. “This model
is especially suitable for environmental analyses,” says Olaf Schulz, ICP-OES
Product Manager. “It can accurately determine levels of alkali/earth alkali elements in complex alkali matrices. So the user gets superior analysis
of sodium, potassium, or calcium in wastewater or soil matrices.” SPECTROBLUE TI minimizes the easily ionizable element (EIE) effect that can
decrease linearity. It also cuts cost and contamination by eliminating ionization buffers. Contamination, and thus cleaning and maintenance, also is
greatly reduced by offsetting the analyzer’s switchable three-mirror periscope at a 45° angle. Finally, this version features a revolutionary design that
minimizes the number of optical surfaces, maximizing light throughput and optimizing performance. The new SPECTROBLUE’S (Model No. FMX26)
flexible design allows field conversion of a SPECTROBLUE EOP model to full TI version functionality.
All three versions of the SPECTROBLUE spectrometer are available for shipment from SPECTRO dealers worldwide. For more information please
