PerkinElmer describe the new Avio 200 as the smallest ICP-OES on the market, measuring 65 cm wide and 81 cm high. It has a RF generator with Flat Plate technology which can generate a matrix-tolerant plasma with half the argon of other systems (it uses 9 L min–1). Its patented Dual View capability measures every wavelength with no loss of light or sensitivity, and a full-wavelength-range CCD array detector measures the wavelengths around the emission line of interest simultaneously. Setup is fast, with the spectrometer ready in 10 minutes from powering it on. The Avio 200 is available in two configurations of nebuliser and spray chamber: Scott/Cross Flow or Cyclonic/Meinhard.
