Avio 200 (equipped with a S10 Autosampler) is a compact ICP-OES that combines a vertical plasma design with hardware features to handle even the most difficult, high-matrix samples without dilution. The device can measure elements with high and low concentrations in the same run, regardless of wavelength. The device comes with a Titan MPS™ microwave sample preparation system for simple, safe, and cheap sample preparation for specialized applications. The range of detection for most elements (metals, transition metals, and metalloid elements) is typically 5 µg/L to 100 mg/L. To analyze carbon, sulfur, oxygen and nitrogen, please reserve time on LECO CS844 (Carbon-Sulfur elemental analyzer) or LECO ON836 (Oxygen-Nitrogen elemental analyzer).
Location: McArthur Engineering Building, Room 141

The ON836 Oxygen/Nitrogen/Hydrogen Elemental Analyzer is used for a wide-range measurement of oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen content of inorganic materials, ferrous and nonferrous alloys, and refractory materials using the inert gas fusion technique. The device supports simultaneous analysis of oxygen and nitrogen. The maximum concentration of oxygen measurement is 50 mg/g of sample and nitrogen (in Argon atmosphere) is 30 mg/g of sample. For complete chemical characterization, please book this in addition to the Avio 200 ICP-OES.

The LECO CS844 is used to analyze a wide-range carbon and sulfur content for the determination of carbon and sulfur in primary steels, ores, finished metals, ceramics, and other inorganic materials based on the principle that CO2 and SO2 absorb infrared (IR) energy at unique wavelengths. The maximum carbon and sulfur concentrations that can be detected is 60 mg/g of sample and nominal throughput is 27 samples per hour. For complete chemical characterization, please book this in addition to the Avio 200 ICP-OES.

The Microtrac S3500 DLS laser diffraction (LD) Particle size analyzer can be used to evaluate the particle size distribution of a range of powder materials in suspension. The measurement is carried out with water or isopropyl alcohol as the dispersing medium. The S3500 measures particle size from 0.02 to 2,800 µm and utilizes Mie compensation and Modified Mie calculations for non-spherical particles. The device is also equipped with an optical camera to observe particle shapes as they are measured and to ensure accurate measurements without agglomerated particles.
