Wear Metals Analysis of In-Service Oils - Avio 500 ICP-OES Oils System

Engine oil is a key component for keeping heavy machinery up and running and serves as a diagnostic of the health of an engine, necessary to prevent breakdowns and costly repairs. While many aspects of in-service oils need to be monitored, the metal content serves as a key indicator of the engine’s condition.

For high-throughput laboratories testing in-service oils, PerkinElmer’s Avio® 500 ICP-OES Oils System:

• Provides advance warning of wear problems before component failure and breakdown
• Reduces the need - and expense - for regular equipment maintenance and inspection
• Lowers costs by extending the life of replaceable fluids
• Minimises unexpected operational downtime
• Reduces waste and environmental impact

The Avio 500 is a truly simultaneous, dual view, and compact ICP-OES. It utilises a vertical plasma and is engineered to handle even the most difficult, high-matrix samples without dilution, delivering productivity, performance, and faster return on investment.

The Avio 500 ICP-OES Oils System offers a host of proprietary features that help ensure robust, routine, accurate analyses:

• Vertical Plasma Torch Design ensures fast, stable operation, dependable results and a low cost per analysis;
• Patented Flat Plate™ Plasma Technology uses half the argon of load-coil systems while generating the same robust plasma;
• Advanced Optical System simultaneously measures across the entire wavelength (UV and visible), collecting data on more than 73 elements in a matter of seconds for exceptional sample throughput;
• Optional Sampling Valve enables fastest ICP analysis times, as little as 25 seconds per sample;
• Baffled Cyclonic Spray Chamber and Low-Flow GemCone™ Nebulizer deliver robust, reliable, trouble-free operation.
