Evaluation of Plastic Materials Analysis of Plastic Samples Using an ICP Spectrometer
ICP emission spectrometers are used to analyze trace hazardous inorganic elements in plastic, in particular cadmium, lead,
and arsenic. Plastic samples are normally pretreated by adding acid and thermally decomposing before measuring. This system
enables simultaneously measuring multiple elements with high sensitivity and high precision. Furthermore, it also enables
qualitative analysis to confirm the presence of most inorganic elements in samples.

Shimadzu Multitype ICP Emission Spectrometers
Features of ICPE-9000
Evaluation of Raw Materials • High throughput

Uses an Echelle spectrometer capable of high-speed measurement and large high-
resolution CCD detector.
• Equipped with Mini Torch
The mini torch offers equivalent sensitivity to a standard torch, but consumes half
the argon gas. The vertical orientation minimizes contamination and clogging,
which is especially reassuring for concentrated samples.
Product Evaluation • Vacuum spectrometer ICPE-9000
This is the first ICP emission spectrometer with a semiconductor detector that
is equipped with a vacuum spectrometer. No high-purity gases are necessary
for purging. This not only reduces operating costs, but also provides superior
spectrometer stability.
• Even the first sample is easy to analyze with ICPEsolution software
Includes qualitative database calibration functionality.
Product Information Includes Automatic Wavelength Selection System.
Method Development Assistant automatically prepares measurement parameters.
Method Diagnosis Assistant checks for causes of errors.
