What it is

The Perkin Elmer Optima 7000 DV is an inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy instrument. The Optima 7000 DV is a spectrometer used for elemental analysis of liquid and other sample types.[5][1]

How it works

ICP-OES instruments use a plasma to excite atoms in a sample. The excited atoms emit light at characteristic wavelengths, and the instrument measures that light to determine elemental concentrations.[5]

The Optima 7000 DV uses automatic dual viewing to switch between axial viewing and radial viewing. The Optima 7000 DV also uses a simultaneous CCD array detector, a high-speed high-resolution double monochromator, and computer-controlled gas flows.[3][6]

The Optima 7000 DV uses compressed-air shear gas to remove the cool tail plume of the plasma. The Optima 7000 DV also uses dynamic wavelength stabilization and a purged optical system to support measurement stability.[3][6]

Where it fits in the process flow

The Optima 7000 DV is suited to research and quality assurance laboratories that handle varied sample sets and moderate sample loads. The Optima 7000 DV supports routine measurements, calibration checks, and data archiving through WinLab32 software.[3][6]
