Today’s ICP laboratories are expected to provide faster turnaround, higher accuracy and precision, and lower detection limits than ever before on an ever-expanding array of challenging samples, and their success in this competitive market depends on meeting clients’ needs while continually looking for new operational efficiencies that boost their bottom line.
This article describes innovative technological and workflow enhancements designed to meet these challenges. The performance of a novel simultaneous ICP system (Avio® 560 Max fully simultaneous ICP-OES) configured for high-throughput and high-precision ICP analyses of complex samples is demonstrated for key applications in the environmental, advanced materials, and metals industries.
