ICP System: • Must be capable of simultaneously analyzing axially and radially a wavelength at least 96% of the emission spectra between the range of at least 167-785 nm. • The instrument must be able to simultaneously determine all desired elements in one analytical reading. • The instrument must monitor gas pressures and flow, water flow, and air flow. The system must have interlocks around the plasma compartment door and the torch loader, and the interlocks must be continuously monitored and if any interlock is interrupted, the plasma is shutdown automatically. • The instrument must be able to operate in laboratory conditions that range from 15 - 30°C and a relative humidity of 25 - 80% non-condensing, non-corrosive. The instrument must be able to operate in laboratories with temperature changes of up to 2°C per hour without any degradation of performance. • The instrument must be able to operate with a single exhaust extraction directly coupled to the instrument, down to a minimum exhaust flow of 2.5m³/min (88 ft³/min). • The instrument must include an on-board fan to supply air to the system and maintain a positive pressure environment within the instrument enclosure. • All emission wavelengths need to be read simultaneously. • The detector must be cooled by a Peltier device to a temperature of at least -40ºC. • Dimension not to exceed 88.7 cm (34.9 in) tall, 74.0 cm (29.5 in) wide, and 62.5 cm (24.6 in) deep...
