Product Information

SampleSense Soil uses an inert injection valve with built-in optical sensors that automatically detect the liquid sample, inject the valve and trigger the ICP read in a tightly-timed analytical sequence. SampleSense Soil eliminates wasted time from the ICP method and can more than double sample throughput on the iCAP ICPOES while recording missing or empty tubes.

SampleSense Soil uses an inert injection valve with built-in optical sensors that automatically detect the liquid sample, inject the valve and trigger the ICP read in a tightly-timed analytical sequence. SampleSense Soil eliminates wasted time from the ICP method and can double or even triple sample throughput while recording missing or empty tubes.

Wine is a popular beverage of choice throughout the world and can range in quality, cost, taste, and flavor. The perception of wine quality is generally characterized by the overall score received from a wine critic or the popularity among consumers. However, analytical testing is an important aspect for determining the quality of the wine from the perspective of food safety. The testing can be broken into a few categories: molecular or organic content and elemental or inorganic content. The elemental content can affect various properties of wine; some inorganics (e.g. S, P, Fe, Mg, or Ca) can affect the flavor, color, aroma, and rate of precipitation, whereas elements such as As, Cd, Hg, and Pb are considered toxic and pose great risk for the consumer.

Food safety processes ensure that consumers receive products that are safe for consumption and free of physical, chemical, or biological hazards, including adulterants, pesticides, antibiotics, and chemical contaminants. In the case of chemical contaminants, heavy metals such as arsenic (As), mercury (Hg), lead (Pb), and cadmium (Cd) may lead to adverse health effects if consumed. Table 1 displays maximum contaminant limits for select food types in the United States, Europe Union (EU), Nigeria, and Oceania (Australia and New Zealand) related to As, Pb, Cd, Hg, and Se.

The presence of minerals and nutrients such as Ca, Na, P, Mg, and K at high concentrations makes ICP-OES the ideal technique for analyzing animal feed, but traditional sample introduction systems sometimes have difficulty analyzing these high-matrix samples. The addition of an automated sample introduction system with sample detection capability improves analytical performance by automatically accounting for variable sample viscosity, detecting missed sample events and minimizing sample consumption. This application note demonstrates the SampleSense FAST with the Avio 500 ICP-OES using the European Standard Method EN 15621 for the determination of nutrients in animal feed.

EdibleOil ICP heats the entire sample flow path to melt samples and automate elemental analysis of liquid, semiliquid, and solid edible oil samples. This note describes the EdibleOil ICP analytical procedure with an Avio 200 ICP showing low detection limits, high throughput, and stable results for extended and automated analytical runs.

SampleSense Soil uses an inert injection valve with built-in optical sensors that automatically detect the liquid sample, inject the valve and trigger the ICP read in a tightly-timed analytical sequence. SampleSense Soil eliminates wasted time from the ICP method and can double or even triple sample throughput on the Agilent 5000 Series ICP systems while recording missing or empty tubes.
