Microwave Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy

The Agilent MP-AES is a compact, bench-top microwave plasma-atomic emission spectrometer based on a robust, nitrogen plasma. It is suitable for elemental determinations using a solid-state CCD detector. With its microwave plasma source, this MP-EAS provides superior detection limits to flame atomic adsorption (AA) spectroscopy and like what it is achievable with ICP-MS.

This MP-AES can determine the content of chemical elements in a wide variety of complex matrices from a wide range of samples from the agri-food, environmental health, and biotechnology fields in addition to the geochemical and mineral exploration fields.
