Common Challenges facing Laboratories doing
Elemental Analysis Today

• Increased need for multi-element determination over a wide

dynamic range
• Desire to reduce the overall cost of analysis due to rising
costs (instrument supplies and consumables; power; labour
etc)
• Difficulty in sourcing some gases – esp. in remote areas and
emerging geographies
• Availability of suitably trained personnel to develop methods,
perform sample measurement and interpret results
• Some laboratories under pressure to improve safety by
removing flammable gases

Technical Aspects of the Agilent 4100 Microwave
Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometer (MP-AES)
New technique for elemental determination using atomic
emission
• Microwave excited plasma source
• Nitrogen based plasma - runs on air (using a N2 generator)

Improved performance compared with flame AA:

• Higher sample throughput with fast sequential measurement
– More than 2x faster than conventional flame AA
• Superior detection limits and improved dynamic range
Easy to use:
• New generation software with automated optimization and
simple 1,2,3 step operation
• One piece torch with easy torch loading – no alignment
Reduced operating costs:
• Runs on air – eliminates need for Acetylene, Argon, etc.
• Eliminates need for source/hollow cathode lamps
Improved Safety:
• Eliminates need for flammable gases and cylinder handling
• Safe, reliable unattended multi-element overnight operation

How Does This Technology Work?
Patented microwave waveguide technology

• Creates a concentrated axial magnetic field around the torch

• A “resonant iris” focuses and contains the microwave energy where it is
needed
• This creates a toroidal plasma with cooler central channel
– Similar to a conventional argon plasma
• Allows stable introduction of liquid samples in the usual way

Why Does it Run on Air?

• Actually using nitrogen as the plasma gas (a diatomic gas)

– Gives a robust plasma with a conventional torch
– Nitrogen can be supplied from either a dewar of liquid nitrogen, bottled gas
or from the Agilent 4107 nitrogen generator

• Magnetic excitation gives a toroidal plasma and an effective central zone for
sample injection

• Nitrogen reaches faster thermal equilibrium with electrons creating higher

plasma resistance

• The microwave magnetically excited nitrogen plasma ...

– Provides a robust, high temperature source in conventional torches
(approx. 5000 oK)
– Has a cooler central channel suitable for sample atomization
– Creates high intensity atomization emission lines

Agilent 4100 MP-AES Positioning Statement

The Agilent 4100 is a fundamental shift in atomic spectroscopy

• The 4100 will dominate market share of traditional flame AAS competitors
• Flame AAS will rapidly decline except for lowest cost and limited graphite
furnace applications
– Price premium for 4100 is paid off in months
e.g. Running 300 samples per week (100 samples/day over 3 days/week),
the $15 k difference in selling
price is paid off in 5 months
from gas savings alone
