The Avio 220 Max is a compact, hybrid simultaneous ICP-OES instrument, ideal for labs with low-to-medium throughput requirements. Its unique plug-and-play capabilities make the Avio 220 Max the ICP with the fastest startup on the market cold start to analysis in only 10 minutes saving you time and operating costs by allowing you to shut down the instrument between runs. Plus, it utilizes a vertical plasma and is engineered to handle even the most difficult, high-matrix samples without dilution, delivering productivity, performance and faster return on investment. And last but certainly not least, Syngistix for ICP software provides an intuitive and smart environment with smart monitoring for real-time instrument and sample diagnostics as well as results viewing to easily track sample analysis, quality control, and internal standard performance to guarantee sample accuracy.
Unmatched Analytical PerformanceThe Avio 220 Max delivers high-resolution, accurate elemental detection down to low ppb levels across a broad wavelength range (165-900 nm). Its echelle grating and CCD detection system enable simultaneous multi-elemental analysis with high sample throughput-up to 40 samples per hour-making it ideal for high-volume labs.
Maintenance-Friendly, Low Cost of OwnershipDesigned for minimal maintenance, the Avio 220 Max incorporates a maintenance-free solid-state plasma generator and robust construction using corrosion-resistant materials. Its low argon consumption (typically 8-9 L/min) reduces operational costs, while SMART ICP technology and built-in safety features ensure reliable, user-friendly operation.
Powerful Automation and ConnectivitySyngistixTM for ICP software brings full automation and compliance-ready analysis, streamlining workflows and data management. Optional autosamplers and comprehensive connectivity (USB, Ethernet) allow seamless integration into laboratory operations, maximizing efficiency and data security.
FAQ's of PerkinElmer Avio 220 Max ICP-OES Concentric/Cyclonic Configuration:
Q: How does the Avio 220 Max ICP-OES achieve high sample throughput?
A: The Avio 220 Max utilizes a dual view (radial and axial) design, a high-efficiency concentric glass nebulizer, and a cyclonic spray chamber to enable rapid, simultaneous multi-elemental analysis. Combined with fully automated operation and software integration, this results in the capability to process up to 40 samples per hour, depending on the application.
Q: What are the benefits of the reduced argon consumption in this instrument?
A: Reduced argon consumption-typically 8-9 L/min with the plasma-significantly lowers operational costs without compromising analytical performance. This efficiency is achieved thanks to the advanced solid-state plasma generator and optimized sample introduction system, making the Avio 220 Max cost-effective for routine and high-throughput labs.
Q: When is the Avio 220 Max typically used in laboratories?
A: The system is used when precise, reliable trace element analysis is required-whether for environmental monitoring, pharmaceutical quality control, food safety, or industrial and agricultural testing. Its broad measurement range (sub-ppb to percent levels) makes it suitable for both routine and specialized applications.
Q: Where can the Avio 220 Max be installed and operated safely?
A: Designed for use in diverse laboratory environments, the Avio 220 Max operates efficiently in ambient temperatures up to 40C and relative humidity between 20% and 80% (non-condensing). Its robust, corrosion-resistant materials make it especially suitable for labs analyzing acidic or corrosive sample matrices.
Q: What process should users follow for trace element analysis with this instrument?
A: Users prepare their samples, load them into the Avio 220 Max (manually or via autosampler), and configure analysis methods using the SyngistixTM software. The instrument's fully automated operation, rapid plasma ignition (30 seconds), and integrated sample introduction system enable efficient, accurate measurements with minimal user intervention.
Q: Which core features contribute to the instrument's high accuracy and precision?
A: Core features include the echelle optical system with high-resolution CCD detection, fully simultaneous dual view analysis, maintenance-free plasma generator, and precision-controlled peristaltic pump. Together, these features deliver high-precision results with relative standard deviations (RSD) typically below 1%.
Q: How does the Avio 220 Max support laboratory compliance and safety?
A: The included SyngistixTM for ICP software offers compliance-ready data handling, while built-in safety sensors, auto-shutdown, and visual warning indicators help ensure secure operation and minimize risks. These measures collectively support both regulatory requirements and the well-being of laboratory personnel.
