The PerkinElmer Optima 3000 is based on a unique optical design optimized for use with an ICP. It uses an Echelle polychromator with a Segmented Array CCD. The detector consists of discreet subarrays which are strategically positioned to measure over 5000 emission wavelengths between 167 and 782 nm. The result is a simultaneous spectrometer that has unmatched resolution of 6 pm in the spectrally congested UV region.

Power output
750 to 1500 watts, computer controllable in 5 watt increments. RF generator is located in the m,ain chassis of the instrument for efficient use of laboratory space.
Cooling water
System requires a flow of ~1 liter/Min at 200 to 550 kPa at a temperature between 15°C and 25°C. Good quality house water or a recirculating cooling system may be used (a Neslab CFT 33 or equivalent is recommended). A filter for removing sediment is supplied with the system.
Detector
Perkin-Elmer Segmented-array Charge-coupled-devicé Detector (SCD). 224 addressable subarrays, with over 6000 pixels on a 13 by 18 mm silicon substrate. Readout noise ~13 electrons RMS; dark current < 100 electrons/pixel/second; readout speed of 40 µsec/pixel.
Thermostating
The polychromator is thermostated to 38°C. The thermostating includes the transfer optics along with the polychromator.
Polychromator: The high energy (f/6.7) echelle-based polychromator is a-Elmer design and utilizes two detector focal planes and two cross dispersers. The resolution of the system is 0.007 nm at 200 nm. The 80 by 160 mm echelle grating (manufactured by Perkin Elmer) has 79 lines per mm and a blaze angle of 63.4 degrees. The cross disperser for the UV region (167-375 nm) is a grating (374 l/mm) with Schmidt correction incorporated into its surface. The Schmidt correction performs aberration correction for the 400 mm radius camera sphere. The cross disperser for the visible region (375 – 782 nm) is a 60-degree fused-quartz prism.
The system includes:
- PerkinElmer Optima 3000 ICP
- Peristaltic Pump
- CETAC ASX-500 Autosampler or PerkinElmer AS Autosampler
- Recirculator Chiller
- Voltage Regulator
This Perkin Elmer Optima 3000 ICP System is sold as-is.
