Agilent MP-AES Microwave Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy

The Agilent MP-AES is a compact, bench-top microwave plasma-atomic emission spectrometer. It utilizes a robust nitrogen plasma source, offering superior detection limits compared to traditional flame atomic absorption (AA) spectroscopy. This instrument is capable of simultaneous multi-analyte determination of major and minor elements at ppm/ppb levels, with a typical wavelength range of 178–780 nm. It is suitable for elemental analysis in a wide variety of complex matrices across fields such as agri-food, environmental health, biotechnology, geochemistry, and mineral exploration. Samples must be in solution and free from particulates. The system can run unattended without flammable gas supply, enhancing laboratory safety and reducing operating costs.
