GV Instruments is the market leader in ICP multi-collector technology with over thirty installed systems world-wide. GV Instruments has a continuing commitment to innovative technology, providing the ultimate in analytical capability. The IsoProbe remains the most sensitive ICP instrument on the market today GV Instruments continues to develop the IsoProbe. Recent new innovations and features include: - Increased sensitivity across the mass range, especially for low masses
- PlasmaCAGE™ allows instrument to be used in the ‘cool’ plasma condition
- Interface modifications resulting in lower molecular backgrounds
- An additional isolation valve behind the skimmer and GV Instruments' QuickCone™ fast change cone cartridge to facilitate faster routine maintenance
- All new acquisition and control electronics
- Motor control system with direct read-back of collector movement, via a new visual interface allowing easy motor positioning. Internal drive shaft arrangement has been re-developed to enhance manoeuvrability of collectors Collector positioning to <17mm
- Hall probe which in combination with the IsoProbes laminated magnet allows fast switching and very high peak side stability
- IsoLynx™ : a new Windows XP based data acquisition and processing software suite written specifically for IRMS applications
