To manage the large sample loads that are typical of many environmental testing laboratories, ICP-OES users need instruments that deliver fast sample-to-sample analysis times, while generating consistently high-quality results. Agilent has developed the Advanced Dilution System (ADS 2) for Agilent ICP-OES (and ICP-MS) instruments. The ADS 2 is an intelligent autodilution system, which includes an Advanced Valve System (AVS). The system improves the productivity of ICP-OES workflows by automating many manual tasks throughout the analytical sequence.
Opaque Container Analysis Capabilities of the Agilent Vaya Handheld Raman Spectrometer
August 7th 2024This study demonstrates the through-opaque-container analysis capability of the Agilent Vaya handheld Raman spectrometer by performing measurements on a range of common excipients and active ingredients within blue barrels. Spatially offset Raman spectroscopy (SORS) is the unique Agilent technology that is the basis of the unique Vaya container subtraction algorithm. This technology can optimize the spectra to provide the clearest signature of contents with the minimum amount of container interference. Verification of raw materials directly through plastic barrels provides efficient raw material identification (RMID) workflows in the warehouse without the need for specialized personnel or controlled sampling environments.
