Estimates Example
ICPE-9800 reduce running cost to less than half
450
Example of Running Cost Calculation:
400 If ICPE-9800 is running for six hours in a day, 12 times in a
month for three years under the analysis example at the
350 bottom of this page, approximately 25,000 dollars can be
saved compared to purge type instrument.
Running Cost (USD) 250 dollars difference spectrometer uses high-purity nitrogen gas. In this case,
300
Approx. 25,000
Calculated on the assumption that the ICP-AES purge-type
nitrogen plumbing is required. If high-purity argon gas is
200
required, the running cost would be even higher (approx.
45,000 dollars per 3 years).

99.95% purity Argon gas of 99.95% or greater purity is enough
OK!! ICPE-9800 guarantees operation with argon gas 99.95% purity. Using industrial argon gas with lower price makes greatly
cost reduction. Expensive argon gas over 99.999% purity, which is used at conventional ICP is not necessary.
