What it is

The PerkinElmer Optima 8300 is a bench-top, dual-view inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES) that employs two solid-state detectors for simultaneous multi-element measurements.^[1]

How it works

The Optima 8300 uses a high-energy echelle-based polychromator with an f/6.7 optical design and two segmented-array charge-coupled device (SCD) detectors covering a spectral range of 163 to 782 nm.^[1]

The measured resolution of the system is 0.006 nm at 200 nm, and the optical bench is shock-mounted to the instrument frame to reduce the effects of floor vibrations.^[1]

Dual-view plasma viewing is achieved by computer-controlled positioning of a mirror in the optical path, enabling selection of axial, radial, or mixed viewing modes with adjustment in both the vertical and horizontal planes.^[1]

The instrument includes a fourth-generation, free-running solid-state radio-frequency generator operating at 40 MHz with an adjustable power range of 750 to 1500 watts in 1 watt increments.^[1]

A shutter with a built-in mercury lamp allows automatic wavelength recalibration at the 253 nm mercury emission line.^[1]

Applications
