A recent poll* found that, on average, labs are remeasuring 15% of their ICP-OES samples. Interestingly, over 15% of labs don’t monitor their sample remeasurement rate at all, so have no idea of the time they are wasting or how much it’s costing them.
Another top time waster is instrument maintenance and downtime. Up to 30%† of ICP-OES service calls are unnecessary. The instrument operator could have solved the problem if only they knew what was going wrong and how to fix it.
* Results from an online poll of over 200 laboratories, conducted in 2019. † Agilent service data, from November 2017 to October 2018
The Agilent 5800 and 5900 ICP-OES instruments have been designed to reduce the top causes of wasted time in the lab.
Watch this video to see how these new instruments reduce ICP-OES time wasters and produce results you can trust.
How to ensure you’ve got the best method to analyze samples with difficult matrices?
Download this application brief to learn how the sample screening function, IntelliQuant Screening, in the 5800 ad 5900, was used to avoid spectral interferences and find the best wavelength to use for each element of interest.
Analyzing complex industrial solid waste samples can be difficult.
You need to optimize your method to avoid interferences, confirm that your results are reliable, and ensure your instrument keeps running optimally.
Download this application brief to learn how the smart tools within the Agilent 5800 and 5900 help you do just that.
