Agilent 5100 and 5110 ICP-OES User’s Guide
The integrated AVS 6 (6 port switching valve) and AVS 7 (7 port
switching valve) increase sample throughput and decrease
turnaround time and operating costs. The switching valve is
positioned between the nebulizer and the peristaltic pump of the
spectrometer. Samples are quickly loaded into the sample loop, ready
for immediate analysis by the ICP-OES, greatly reducing sample
uptake delays. Pre-emptive rinsing of the sample line means sample
to sample analysis times are reduced.
The AVS 6 and AVS 7 include a bubble injector that automatically
injects bubbles after the sample is loaded into the loop, isolating the
sample from the rinse/carrier solution. This reduces the volume of
sample required for measurement (therefore reducing analysis time)
as tailing (or dilution) effects are minimized.
SVS 2 and SVS 2+
For safety information and to prepare the accessory for installation,
please see the instructions that came with the accessory.
The SVS 2 and SVS 2+ increase sample throughput and decrease
turnaround time and operating costs. The switching valves are
positioned between the nebulizer and the peristaltic pump of the
spectrometer. Samples are quickly loaded into the sample loop, ready
for immediate analysis by the ICP-OES, greatly reducing sample
uptake delays. Pre-emptive rinsing of the sample line means analysis
times are reduced. The switching valve also features an internal T-
piece within the valve, reducing dead volume and providing online
addition of internal standard and ionization buffer solutions. A
bubble injector automatically injects bubbles after the sample is
loaded into the loop, isolating the sample from the rinse solution.
This reduces the volume of sample required for measurement as
tailing (or dilution) effects are minimized.
5-channel Peristaltic Pump
The five channel peristaltic pump can be used for additional solution
introduction and is required when using the MSIS accessory.
