The LINA-Spark Analyzer is a complete instrument, not just an accessory to an ICP.
It analyzes any solid sample, based on the method of spark optical emission spectrometry. As it uses a Laser induced “spark” rather than an electrically generated spark, there is no need for electrodes, and the sample does not need to be conductive.
In this instrument, the LINA-Spark plays the role of the excitation source, similar to an electrical spark generator. The emitted radiation is recorded in an Echelle spectrometer with CCD camera and gated micro-channel plate.
When used as a research tool, the whole spectrum from 200 to 780 nm can be recorded simultaneously and evaluated later. All information is stored, not just some programmed spectral lines. This is important when it is not certain at the time of analysis which elements to look for!
When used in routine analysis, the recording can be restricted to a finite number of spectral lines, and their intensities calculated and stored in real time. This permits to calculate the elemental concentrations in the sample and print these as the final result.
The LINA-Spark Analyzer is the most flexible, rapid and accurate optical emission instrument on the market. It combines
- a spark source (“The LINA-Spark”) which can excite all kinds of samples, electrically conductive metals, but also insulators like ceramics and plastics. The patented design of the LINA-Spark assures a highly reproducible excitation, and the developed analytical methods assure best possible accuracy.
- A spectrometer which can measure any number of spectral lines simultaneously in the range 200 – 780 nm with an excellent spectral resolution.
