The UP193-FX Features Benchmark Accuracy, Precision And Beam Flatness At Low Cost of Ownerhip – All Within The Industry's Smallest Footprint
The UP193-FX features a fully homogenized beam, unmatched wavelength coupling to the ICP-MS and up to 4 GW/cm² irradiance at the sample. The result is consistently smaller aerosol particles from all material for maximized ionization, minimal fractionation and unmatched crater quality.
Dramatically more compact than competing systems, the UP193-FX is a superior and flexible analytical tool for materials including: gels, liquids, quartz, biological tissues, organics, plastics, ceramics, paint and glass. It also produces superior results on metals via its shorter pulsewidth over conventional excimer lasers and is ideally suited for bulk or micro-feature analysis. Applications include geochemistry, fundamentals, forensics, mining, gemology, environmental sciences, archeology, pharmaceutical and health sciences.
The UP193-FX also features thirteen pre-calibrated spot sizes with constant fluence. A proprietary beam delivery design with beam homogenizing optics further ensures flat, uniform craters. The laser can be operated in a constant energy mode to ensure minimal energy drift over long ablation runs. An optional optical attenuator achieves uniform ablation at very low energy levels, with improved laser stability, for delicate samples. This strategy maximizes sampling efficiency using a simpler more robust design for improved reliability and cost of ownership.
The UP193-FX is compatible with all commercially available ICP mass spectrometers. Further, its industry-leading software platform – a hallmark of all New Wave Research laser ablation solutions – provides a wide range of ablation functionality including depth profiling, sample mapping and auto-sampling.
