Food Products/ Enhanced throughput
Optimal methods
Agriculture Reduced operating costs

Regulations addressing hazardous elements have become increasingly support a balanced diet and an individual's health. In the area of
stringent, as the demand grows for food safety. Moreover, labeling food products, it has become increasingly important for analytical
that lists the nutritional content of foods, in accordance with de ned instruments to ef ciently produce highly reliable data over a broad
nutrition labeling standards, is now mandatory in many places. Such range of concentrations, whether the targets are trace hazardous
labeling generally includes minerals and other components that elements or highly concentrated elements such as minerals.

With the ICPE-9800 Series
• Achieves a broad dynamic range from ppb to percent order due to axial and radial views. This allows comprehensive analysis of a broad
range of concentrations all at once, thus enhancing throughput.
• The all-wavelengths acquisition system detects the in uence of the matrix, and always offers the optimal method. Accurate analysis values
can be acquired at great speed.
• Shimadzu's proprietary features (Eco mode, Mini-torch system, and Vacuum spectrometer) result in greatly reduced consumption of argon
gas and less than half of total running cost.*
* In comparison with purge-type instrument

Environment/ Reduced analysis times
Superior stability over long periods
Tap Water/Waste Water High sensitivity

The environmental eld requires robust, high-sensitivity analysis safety of the water supply and protect the environment. Moreover, in
capable of complying with regulations in order to always meet the laboratories where more than 100 samples are processed per day,
stringent target values that have been established to assure the increasing the throughput and saving energy are issues of concern.

With the ICPE-9800 Series
• Offering the highest level of robustness, the sample injection system (vertical torch orientation) is designed to minimize torch clogging and
memory effects. Even with boron, which tends to produce memory effects, measurements can be repeated with short rinse times, thus
resulting in a shorter analysis time.
• The axial view has been optimized in order to provide the utmost in sensitivity.
• Realize an even higher level of sensitivity by making use of the optional ultrasonic nebulizer or a hydride generator.
