    Flexibility allows best sensitivity regardless of element or matrix

    Optimised dual detectorsystem

    The Quantima's dual detectorsystem ensures maximum

    sensitivity across the entirewavelength range. One detectoris sensitive below 300 nm andthe second detector for elementsabove 300 nm. The choice ofdetector is automatic.

    Widest linear dynamic range -8 orders of magnitude

    Eight orders of linear responseachieved by the dual detector

    system permits analyticaldeterminations over the widestconcentration ranges.Concentrations from high percentto low parts per billion levels canbe confidently measured withoutdilution.

    Flexible parameter settingsallows best conditions forevery element

    For ICP determinations everyelement requires slightly differentnebuliser flow and viewing heightto obtain the optimum sensitivity.These critical parameters can beaccurately set and reproduciblyrecalled wherever needed.

    Robust and reliable highefficiency plasma module

    Crucial to the Quantima's powerand performance is a robust,reliable and efficient 40.68 MHzfree-running 1500 watt RFgenerator. Utilising the latest inhighly accurate fuzzy logiccontrollers,

    the GBC designed RF systemprovides superb stability whichtranslates to unsurpassedanalytical performance. Thisfrequency also offers reduced

    background levels for enhancedsignal to noise response.

    With power settings controlled inprecise 1 W steps, the plasmaoperating power can be easilyconfigured even for the mostdifficult sample matrices witheach element individuallyoptimised.

    The Highest Energy Transfer

    from Plasma to SampleThe Mg II 280.270 nm/Mg I285.213 nm Intensity Ratioprovides a true measure of theefficiency of energy transfer fromplasma to sample.

    Graphs showing effectthat varying viewingheight and nebuliserflow have on variouselements.

    Professor J. M. Mermetdetermined that values greaterthan 10 are a measure ofsuperior performance. TheQuantima's efficient RF generator

    and precise control of plasmaparameters all combine toprovide the highest possibleenergy transfer from plasma tosample. With values typicallyexceeding 15, the Quantima hasthe most robust plasma availableensuring maximum sensitivity andminimised matrix effect especiallywith difficult organic matrices. Aswell as better sensitivity inaqueous samples, the mostvolatile organic solvents can bedirectly aspirated without theneed to dilute or use of oxygenaccessories.

    The traditional method of determiningthe nutritional composition of milk is toash it at high temperatures to removethe organic matter followed up by anacid digest. This process can take up to

    a day to perform.

    As well as time costs involved and needfor costly equipment and chemicalsthere is a possibility of either losingvolatile elements in the ashing stage orthe possibility of contamination in thedigestion stage.

    As an alternative methodology, GBCchemists devised a 3% slurry techniquefor milk analysis.

    This much simplified technique simplyrequires weighing a milk powder thenadding distilled/deionised water anddirectly analysing.

    The periodical analysis of engineoil is an important application asfleet companies use this analysisto determine when major servicingis required. An increase in metal

    concentration in sump oil canpinpoint potential engine trouble.The presence of tin may becaused by bearing wear. Thepresence of chromium, aluminiumor nickel may be because ofpiston or ring wear. Copper isindicative of coolant leaking intothe lubrication system via cracksor poor seals and silicon maysuggest dirt or sand intrusionindicating that the air filter needs

    to be cleaned or replaced.This analysis is best performed byICP due to its speed and theability to analyse elements such asS and P.

    The oil samples andorganometallic standards aredissolved in kerosene and directlyaspirated into the plasma withoutthe need for Oxygen Accessoriesrequired by conventional ICPs to

    avoid carbon build up. TheQuantima can perform thisfunction without an accessory andin addition a pump speed of 60rpm can be used pumpingkerosene between samples tospeed up sample introductionwithout the plasma turning off.

    An argon humidifier is availableas an option to the Quantima.When fitted in series with thesample gas line and thestandard nebuliser, the argon

    humidifier increases thetolerance of the sampleintroduction system to blockagesdue to high dissolved salts. Thisis achieved by bubbling argonthrough water to add a smallamount of humidity to the argongas supply. As the water vapourpasses through the nebuliserorifice it removes salt deposits asthey occur.

    Plasma Integrity Protector -PIPTM significantly reduces theoccurrence of molten torches.Occasionally, under certainconditions, the plasma can

    collapse and form what iscalled a parasitic plasma ordoughnut. Here the plasmacollapses into the top of thetorch and if the power to theRF generator is shut nodamage occurs. However, if thedoughnut is left, such as wouldhappen in an unattendedanalysis, the torch would meltwithin a few seconds. GBC hasdevised and patented the PIPwhich is an option on theQuantima. The PIPTM

    immediately shuts power to theRF Generator as soon as itdetects a change from anormal plasma to a parasiticplasma. The occurrence ofmolten torches are significantlyreduced.

    ICP users often look at thePlasma to determine quickly

    whether either the sample hasreached the plasma or whetherthe rinse solution has flushed itout. With an optional PlasmaCamTM, the end user can now

    view this and more from theconvenience of the computerscreen.
