2 2011 The Atomic Spectroscopy Revolution With the 2011 launching of the Atomic Spectroscopy Revolution, Agilent now offers the most comprehensive and innovative range of inorganic (atomic) spectroscopy instruments for liquid sample analysis: Flame Atomic Absorption (AA); Graphite Furnace AA; Vapor Generation AA; Microwave Plasma-Atomic Emission (MP-AES); ICP-Optical Emission; as well as The 7700 Series ICP-MS Page 2

3 Agilent Atomic Absorption The world s fastest flame AA; the world s most sensitive furnace AA Superior flame, graphite furnace, and vapor generation or a combination of techniques let you exactly match your analytical needs and your budget Patented Fast Sequential capability lets you measure multiple elements in each sample doubling productivity and lowering the cost per analysis Easy-to-use software and rugged, reliable hardware simplify operation and maximize uptime

4 Agilent ICP-OES The world's most productive high performance simultaneous ICP-OES Continuous wavelength coverage provides extended dynamic range and reduced interferences, giving you maximum confidence in your results Robust plasma ensures reliable and reproducible results even with the most complex matrices One view, one step measurement of major, minor, and trace elements, plus the fastest warm-up, increases throughput and productivity Page 4

5 Agilent ICP-MS Unmatched matrix tolerance and unparalleled interference removal Patented High Matrix Introduction (HMI) technology increases matrix tolerance up to 10x to handle the toughest samples with ease! Third generation collision cell design with helium collision mode effectively removes polyatomic interferences, ensuring more accurate results in unknown or complex sample matrices Delivers the highest productivity in the most demanding lab environments

6 2011 Start of the Atomic Spectroscopy Revolution! Agilent has launched a revolutionary new Atomic Spectroscopy instrument This instrument doesn t just redefine a category it creates a new one! No other instrument like it exists! This technique delivers: Improved performance compared with conventional flame AA Improved ease of use Lower running costs Allows unattended multi-element analysis Improved laboratory safety If you re a flame AA user, be prepared to save thousands of dollars per year Does that sound appealing??? Page 6

7 Common Challenges facing Laboratories doing Elemental Analysis Today Increased need for multi-element determination over a wide dynamic range Desire to reduce the overall cost of analysis due to rising costs (instrument supplies and consumables; power; labour etc) Difficulty in sourcing some gases esp. in remote areas and emerging geographies Availability of suitably trained personnel to develop methods, perform sample measurement and interpret results Some laboratories under pressure to improve safety by removing flammable gases Page 7

8 Agilent 4100 Microwave Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrometer (MP-AES) New technique for elemental determination using atomic emission Microwave excited plasma source Nitrogen based plasma - runs on air (using a N 2 generator) Improved performance compared with flame AA: Higher sample throughput with fast sequential measurement More than 2x faster than conventional flame AA Superior detection limits and improved dynamic range Easy to use: New generation software featuring automated optimization and software applets that load a preset method One piece torch with easy torch removal and replacement no alignment Reduced operating costs: Runs on air eliminates need for Acetylene, Argon, etc. Eliminates need for source/hollow cathode lamps Simple installation no chiller, 10 A supply Improved Safety: Eliminates need for flammable gases and cylinder handling Safe, reliable unattended multi-element overnight operation Page 8

9 Accessory Options for the 4100 MP-AES Automate and simplify analysis with the SPS3 autosampler (required for unattended overnight operation) For organic applications, use the EGCM to bleed air into the plasma minimizing C build-up and reducing background also requires the OneNeb inert nebulizer (incl. with the Organics kit) To enable low ppb level detection of As, Se or Hg, use the Multimode Sample Introduction System (MSIS) also requires the 5 channel peristaltic pump option Page 9

10 Applications the MP-AES can do by Market Still the leader in Xenon flash lamp technology after 12 years! Page 10

11 Food Applications Types of Measurement Product Labeling Nutrient Levels Food Quality Contamination Pollutants Food Production QA/QC Research Developing Better Products Page 11

12 Which Elements are Monitored in Foods? Toxic trace elements Low level analysis typically ppb levels As, Cd, Hg, Pb, Tl, Cr Common elements that are toxic in excess Typically range from ppb to ppm level Al, Ni, Cu, Zn, Se, Mo, Sn Essential minerals Can cover a wide range from ppm to % levels Na, Mg, P, S, K, Ca, Fe Page 12

13 Food and Agriculture Applications The Challenge Robust Sample Introduction Large number of samples Wide range of matrices High total dissolved solids (TDS) Many Elements Per Sample Potential for spectral interferences Labs. need high sample throughput Labs. also want low cost of analysis Wide Dynamic Range Trace (ppb) level to % level Avoid sample dilution (if possible) Page 13
