Agilent Technologies Introduces New Atomic Spectroscopy Platform for Multiple Analytical Applications

SANTA CLARA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today introduced a new addition to
its lineup of inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometers.
The Agilent 5110
ICP-OES will enable scientists to perform faster, more precise
ICP-OES analysis than ever before in food, environmental and
pharmaceutical testing as well as for mining and industrial applications.
The new system builds on the company’s breakthrough 5100 ICP-OES, which
captures axial and radial views of plasma in a single measurement,
enabling laboratories to use half as much argon in the process, saving
both time and money. The new system is also a dual-view system.
Unlike ICP-OES systems from other vendors, the 5110 enables laboratories
to increase throughput without compromising on precision.
“The Agilent 5100 revolutionized the ICP-OES market, delivering
significant value in terms of cost of ownership, performance, and ease
of use,” said Philip Binns, Agilent’s vice president of spectroscopy
products. “The new Agilent 5110 extends that revolution with more
cutting-edge innovations.”
The 5110 includes three advances:

• A fully integrated Advanced Valve System with unique hardware and
  software technologies that enable ultra-high throughput with excellent
  precision and ease of use.
• IntelliQuant measurement for rapid sample screening and simple method
  development.
• New diagnostic capabilities that maximize instrument uptime and
  simplify troubleshooting.

“With the introduction of the 5110
ICP-OES we continue to lead the way in elemental analysis
innovation,” said Binns. “Our atomic spectroscopy portfolio offers the
most diverse application coverage for AA,
ICP-OES,
and ICP-MS,
while our unique MP-AES
and ICP-QQQ
technologies help customers redefine the way they work.”
