Varian, Inc. announced today its new range of ICP-OES (Inductively Coupled Plasma - Optical Emission Spectrometer) instruments, the 700-ES series, to meet the needs of scientists working in a variety of application areas ranging from environmental to pharmaceutical. This new range of ICP-OES instruments complements Varian's broad range of AA (Atomic Absorption) and ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma - Mass Spectrometer) instruments and strengthens the company's global position in elemental analysis.
The 710-ES series is an entry-level instrument designed for budget-conscious laboratories performing routine ICP-OES analyses. These instruments are ideal for educational institutes and for industries that need to comply with environmental protection laws and regulations such as the European Union's directives on the Restriction of the use of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) and on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).
The 720-ES and 730-ES series set a new benchmark in speed and performance. Core to both the 720-ES and 730-ES series is a patented CCD detector that delivers the world's best performing and fastest ICP-OES platform, ideal for high-throughput contract laboratories in environmental, petrochemical and geological applications.
"With our new range of ICP-OES instrumentation, laboratories can obtain capabilities that match both their demanding analytical needs and budget," said Martin O'Donoghue, Senior Vice President of Scientific Instruments, Varian, Inc. "We've broadened our product line to deliver more value to our customers, strengthening our position as a leading global supplier of elemental analysis instruments."
Varian, Inc. supplies a broad range of scientific instruments and consumable supplies for industrial applications, such as chemical, petrochemical, environmental, food and beverage and metallurgy, as well as a range of life science applications. Since 1999, the company has maintained a balanced approach to refreshing and expanding its products for both life science and industrial customers.
