Superior Resolution and Accuracy

The PlasmaQuant 9200 Elite achieves up to 2 pm resolution at 200 nm, enabling clear separation of even heavily overlapping emission lines. The standard model provides 6 pm resolution while still covering a wide spectral range of 160–900 nm with access to more than 43,000 emission lines. Automated neon correction ensures wavelength accuracy under 0.4 pm, eliminating manual recalibration and ensuring reliable results across applications, from energy storage to petrochemicals.

Compact, Efficient Design

Despite its performance, the instrument requires just 60 cm of bench space – over 40% less than comparable systems. Its robust plasma generator (700–1700 W at 27 MHz) maintains stability even with challenging matrices, while a start-up time of under 10 minutes supports high sample throughput and reduced downtime.

Easy Operation and Maintenance

The modular V Shuttle torch system enables quick, tool-free changes with options in quartz or ceramic. Dual View PLUS technology captures axial and radial plasma observation in one run, extending the working range and minimizing repeat analyses. All consumables are easily accessible, keeping maintenance low and uptime high.

Application Example: Aluminium – Air Batteries

Al–air batteries hold promise for sustainable energy storage, but their performance depends heavily on aluminium purity. Even trace impurities such as Fe, Si, or Cu can reduce efficiency. The PlasmaQuant 9200 Elite addresses this with its 2 pm resolution, Dual View PLUS technology, and CSI (Correction of Spectral Interferences), enabling accurate detection of both trace and bulk elements in a single run.

In testing, the instrument analyzed KOH electrolytes and aluminium residues, detecting impurities at ppb levels while also quantifying major components. Calibration achieved excellent linearity (R²_adj ≥ 0.999), and recovery rates of 95–110% confirmed robustness and reliability.

Conclusion

The PlasmaQuant 9200 Series combines precision, flexibility, and compactness with real-world performance. From routine monitoring to advanced research, it ensures accurate analysis of both trace and major elements – an ideal solution for laboratories seeking maximum productivity in minimal space.
