Teledyne Leeman Labs Prodigy Simultaneous ICP spectrometer range

The Prodigy Simultaneous ICP spectrometer range, from Teledyne Leeman Labs, promises unmatched resolution because of a high-resolution Echelle optical system, large-format high-speed array detection, full wavelength coverage, simultaneous background correction and fast integration times.

Offering simultaneous elemental analysis for up to 70 elements, the range offers full wavelength coverage from 130-1100 nm, with dual view, axial and radial configurations to improve versatility. Sensitivity is ensured with a wide, linear, dynamic range which typically extends over six orders of magnitude.

The image-stabilised ICP source and long focal length optics eliminate many of the limitations of less sensitive array detectors.

The long-life RF generator and lack of moving parts contribute to a new standard of reliability, productivity and cost of ownership. The software is easy to use featuring intuitive navigation between applications, full control of the operational parameters, QC controls and system diagnostics including remote service access.

The software also automatically aligns the torch and other optical components for expert results for novice users.

Other features include simultaneous internal standardisation to improve precision and simultaneous background correction to improve detection limits. Difficult analyses such as nitrogen and halogen and alternate sample handling techniques such as laser ablation applications or glove box installations are also claimed to be simple.
