Ultra-Fast Determination of Trace Elements in Water, Conforming to US EPA 200.7 Using the Agilent 5100 Synchronous Vertical Dual View ICP-OES
John Cauduro and Andrew Ryan, Agilent Technologies
The Agilent 5100 Synchronous Vertical Dual View (SVDV) ICP-OES, combined with a SPS 2 autosampler and the SVS 2+ switching value is an ideal instrument to meet the productivity demands of environmental labs working to EPA methodology such as 200.7. The instrumentation achieves an excellent sample-to-sample cycle time of 58 s. This enables more samples to be measured each day and reduces argon consumption per sample by 50%.

Analysis of Bovine Liver Using the Agilent 5100 Synchronous Vertical Dual View (SVDV) ICP-OES
Neli Drvodelic, Agilent Technologies
In this study, the 5100 SVDV ICP-OES was used to analyze a microwave-digested sample of a bovine liver SRM for a range of elements. An excellent linear dynamic range was demonstrated for Na and K up to 500 ppm and good agreement with the certified and reference values was obtained.

Analysis of Milk Powders Based on Chinese Standard Method Using the Agilent 5100 SVDV ICP-OES
Neli Drvodelics, Agilent Technologies
This Agilent 5100 SVDV ICP-OES with DSC technology allows measurement of both axial and radial readings in a single, fast, cost effective measurement. Trace toxic and major nutrient elements were measured in a single measurement in a milk powder SRM, with no ionization buffers. Excellent recoveries were achieved for all elements determined in the SRM using SVDV mode demonstrating the accuracy of the method of a large dynamic range. This work shows that the Agilent 5100 SVDV ICP-OES is suited to Chinese method GB 5413.21 for the analysis of milk powders.

Synchronous Vertical Dual View (SVDV) for Superior Speed and Performance
Agilent Technologies
The Agilent 5100 ICP-OES revolutionizes ICP-OES analysis. It is designed to run your samples faster, using less gas, without compromising performance on your toughest samples. The 5100 SVDV features unique dichroic spectral combiner (DSC) technology that selects and combines axial and radial light from a robust vertical plasma, in a single measurement covering the entire wavelength range. This capability, together with the high speed VistaChip IIC CD detector and the innovative SVS 2+ switching valve, provides the fastest sample throughput and the lowest gas consumption per sample of any ICP-OES.
