Unlocking Precision in Elemental Analysis: The PerkinElmer Avio 220 Max ICP-OES Spectrometer
In the world of modern analytical chemistry, precision, speed, and reliability are essential. Whether analyzing environmental samples, food products, industrial materials, or pharmaceuticals, laboratories around the globe rely on advanced technology to deliver accurate elemental analysis. Among the most trusted names in this domain is PerkinElmer, and one of its standout innovations is the Avio® 220 Max Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometer (ICP-OES).
What is ICP-OES and Why Does It Matter?
ICP-OES (Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry) is a technique used to detect and quantify trace elements in a sample. It operates by introducing a sample into a plasma, which excites the atoms and ions. These then emit light at characteristic wavelengths, which are measured to determine the presence and concentration of elements.
Meet the Avio 220 Max: Small Footprint, Big Performance
The Avio 220 Max ICP-OES is specifically designed for high-throughput labs that need fast, accurate results—without compromising on space or simplicity. Its compact design makes it an ideal fit for even the most space-constrained labs. But don’t be fooled by its size—this instrument packs a powerful punch.
