ACTIVA, The Art in ICP Spectrometer
Expand your capabilities and performance!
ACTIVA, built on A Platform for the Future™, maintains the strengths of HORIBA Jobin Yvon ICP spectrometers while incorporating advanced CCD technology, thus offering:
-
Ultra low noise megapixel CCD tailored for spectroscopy, coupled to the original HORIBA Jobin Yvon holographic grating-based optics
-
Constant high resolution across the full spectrum
-
Superior vertical torch-based Total Plasma View
-
Unique sheath gas for high solids applications
-
Low argon consumption, less glass torch parts replacement, quick-mount torch
As a consequence, expanding the range of applications in correlation with the large analytical benefits:
-
Few spectral interference, few matrix effects, few memory effects allowing complex matrix, high dissolved solids or organic sample analysis
-
Excellent limits of quantification thanks to simultaneous measurement of background
-
Perfect reproducibility, facilitating multi-user operation
-
Unrivalled performance for alkaline elements
-
Linear concentration range over five decades
The ACTIVA offers the practical use of ICP-AES analysis by first time operators or sophisticated users, through easy operation steps, for all types of applications.
ACTIVA-M, The Master in True Multi-Line Analysis
Become an expert in quantitative ICP analysis!
Building on the popular, state of the art ACTIVA spectrometer, the ACTIVA-M combines superb instrument performance with unique advanced software tools.
Overcoming the challenges of multi-line selection and achieving high reliability of results, the ACTIVA-M benefits from innovative and interactive assistance, through:
-
A new proprietary ICP-focussed Database featuring not only wavelength but also ionization level, line width, limit of detection and dynamic range of each line, thus providing data that allows the combination of single-element spectra to mimic real-life samples
-
M.A.S.T.E.R. (Multi-line Analysis Selection Tool for Enhanced Reliability) which performs a multi-line selection according to the concentration range of each element and matrix influences
-
S.O.S. (Statistical Outlier Survey) which evaluates the line concentration results through ANOVA data processing to detect outliers and to provide a single reliable result for each element
The advanced instrument configuration makes this unique assistance a reality:
-
Extended spectral range from 120 to 800 nm
-
Few matrix effects and high spectral selectivity which allows a greater choice of suitable wavelengths to be used for multi-line analysis
-
Linear concentration range over five decades, avoiding detector saturation and risk of curvature, thereby improving the statistics of the results.
