Delivery of 1000th Icap 6000 Series Icp Emission Spectrometer

Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc recently announced that the Plansee Group has made the 1000th purchase of the Thermo Scientific iCAP 6000 Series of ICP emission spectrometers. The Plansee Group has selected the iCAP 6500 Duo to perform R&D and quality control analyses of their specialised metal alloys at the company`s production facility in Austria. Utilising the latest design techniques and innovative new
technologies, the compact iCAP 6500 Duo is a powerful system, achieving maximum levels of flexibility, performance and automation equal to
the exacting demands of the busiest laboratories. Since its deployment at the Austrian plant, the iCAP 6500 Duo has been able to detect the exact amount of impurities in even the most difficult alloy matrixes at low ppm levels. Analysis time has been considerably decreased for all elements.

With the traditional ICP instrument design, spectrometer functions are performed in a sequential fashion adding to the overall analysis time and reducing sample throughput. Featuring an intelligent ‘Speed’ operation mode, the iCAP 6500 groups together functions to minimise overhead time and maximise sample throughput, resulting in a typical saving of 15% for an analysis where both axial and radial measurements are performed. Productivity is greatly enhanced and cost of ownership is
significantly reduced. In addition, the iCAP 6500 Duo is a precision regulated spectrometer that features active wavelength control to achieve excellent long-term signal stability.

The iCAP 6500 Duo is a high-performance instrument that is flexible enough to grow with changing sample needs. The system is pre-configured to accept a wide range of additional accessories such as large capacity autosampler, separate sample excitation accessory, laser ablation accessory or additional gas accessory.
