Determination of Heavy Metals in Wine Using Simultaneous ICP-OES

31 Oct 2014

In this application note, elemental analysis is carried out using ICP-OES Spectrometry for the daily quality control checks of wine samples. The ICPE-9820 in dual view configuration is flexible enough to achieve calibration ranges in axial view in ppb level concentrations and at the same time high concentration levels of Boron, Potassium, Sodium and others in ppm scale in radial observation as well.

ICPE-9800 Series: Simultaneous ICP Emission Spectrometers

Shimadzu Corporation

  Featuring user-friendly software and a proprietary design, the simultaneous ICPE-9800 series instruments enable sensitive, high-speed simultaneous analysis of multiple elements regardless of concentration levels while significantly reducing operating costs.   Key features include a vertically oriented plasma torch with dual view (axial/radial) capabilities that achieves the ideal combination of sensitivity and dynamic range, and a leading-edge CCD (charge-coupled device) detector with one million pixels. Eco Mode and a mini-torch system significantly minimize argon gas consumption, resulting in substantial cost savings. Easy-to-use, 21 CFR compliant software helps users optimize methods and enables a smooth analysis process. The Assistant functions help users optimize methods by automatically acquiring wavelength data, selecting optimal wavelengths, diagnosing methods and providing inter-element correction for an all-around smooth analysis process. In addition to the standard accessories, additional torches, chambers, nebulizers, drains and other parts are available for the ICPE-9800 series so users can customize their systems for their specific application needs.

Atomic Absorption / Emission SpectroscopyAtomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and atomic emission spectroscopy (AES) — also called optical emission spectroscopy (OES) — are used to detect the elemental constituents in samples. Both techniques involve the atomization of a sample. Atomic absorption spectrometers may use a flame or furnace to create an atomic vapor of the sample before irradiation with spectral light. Optical emission spectrometers may use a flame, inductively coupled plasma (ICP), microwave plasma (MP) or spark arcs to atomize and excite the sample. At higher excitation energies, electrons can be emitted instead of photons, which can be useful for samples that can’t be atomized and for surface analysis. Explore electron spectroscopy equipment such as Auger spectrometers and photoelectron spectrometers for surface elemental analysis of samples.
