ICP-Optical Emission
a revolution in design:

N O T E
The radio frequency generator is a critical component in any ICP-OES spectrometer. The RF power it produces must be exceptionally stable both short-term and long-term in order to obtain stable, reproducible emission signals. The RF power supply must provide a high coupling efficiency with the sample to generate maximum emission signal strength. It must instantaneously compensate for any changes in impedance due to variations in the sample or solvent. Historically, RF power supplies have been based on the use of vacuum power tubes. However, power tube-based power supplies do not provide the long-term stability, lifetime or coupling efficiencies desired for optimal ICP-OES performance.
All solid-state, free-running RF power supply PerkinElmer continues its role as the technology leader by developing the first commercial RF generator to combine the free-running design of todays leading ICP system with a new fully solid-state RF design. To create an RF power supply that would improve the standard of performance, PerkinElmer engineers turned to state-of-the-art solid-state electronics. They have developed a computer-controlled solid-state RF power supply that provides full power range coverage, exceptional coupling efficiencies, enhanced stability, and significantly improved reliability.
KEY BENEFITS:
Solid-state electronics eliminate the need for a power amplifier tube, enhancing reliability High coupling efficiency produces improved signal- to-background ratios at lower power Free-running 40-MHz design eliminates the need for mechanical matching networks Full power range allows the analysis of all sample types
