ICP Expert: Complete Control of Your Workflow
Understand your samples. Trust your answers.
Overview
Let ICP Expert power your lab to success
Features and functionality that help labs work better, faster, and smarter
IntelliQuant
IntelliQuant captures data from the entire wavelength range, identifies spectral interferences, and provides recommendations to ensure you get the right answers every time.
Data analysis features
Data analysis features, such as Outlier Conditional Formatting and the Summary Row, allow you to quickly and easily identify unexpected results and report the correct answer.
Interference correction
Smart tools, such as fitted Background Correction, Fast Automated Curve-Fitting Technique, and Inter-Element Correction, simplify method development when dealing with both routine and complex samples.
IntelliQuant Screening
IntelliQuant Screening screens your samples within seconds, which is ideal for method development assistance when dealing with unknown samples.
Early Maintenance Feedback (EMF)
Early maintenance feedback tracks your instrument health the smart way, informing you when maintenance is needed, reducing unplanned downtime and maintenance costs.
Intelligent Rinse
Intelligent Rinse (optional upgrade) improves sample throughput while preserving the accuracy of your results.
Neb Alert
Neb Alert continuously monitors the nebulizer and alerts you when the nebulizer is leaking or needs cleaning, preventing wasted time and the cost of troubleshooting.
Chiller
Agilent recirculating chiller support ensures total control of your smart chiller via the instrument software, with live status updates and helpful notifications when troubleshooting is required.
ADS 2
Support for the Agilent Advanced Dilution System 2 (ADS 2) for automatic sample and standard dilution.
21 CFR Part 11
Built-in technical controls ensure the security of your data, control access, and facilitate compliance as defined by US FDA 21 CFR Part 11, EU Annex 11, and similar national electronic record regulations.
How it works
Smart tools designed to make your life easier
IntelliQuant: Automatic full-spectrum scan and simplified method development
IntelliQuant automatically performs a full-spectrum scan during ICP-OES analysis, identifying elements across the sample and estimating concentrations for up to 70 elements without requiring calibration. Results appear as a color-coded periodic table heat map for rapid interpretation.
IntelliQuant also highlights potential spectral interferences and recommends suitable analyte wavelengths, helping analysts develop robust quantitative methods faster while reducing remeasurements and unexpected results.
IntelliQuant Screening: The next generation of ICP-OES method development
IntelliQuant Screening is a dedicated method development workflow that uses IntelliQuant semiquantitative analysis to assess unknown samples before quantitative testing begins. Running independently of a quantitative method, it screens sample composition, identifies potential spectral interferences, and ranks the most suitable analyte wavelengths. You can then transfer recommended wavelengths directly into a new quantitative method, simplifying method development and improving confidence in results.
What's new in ICP Expert version 7.8
Enhanced accuracy and precision with standard bracketing
By employing standard-sample-standard sequencing, standard bracketing offers high-precision determination, minimizing sample-to-sample fluctuations and matrix effects for demanding applications.
Highlights:
This new calibration technique facilitates major component analysis for high-precision applications like precious metal alloys (in line with ISO methods 11494 and 11495) and catalyst refining.
The new Sample Aggregate row enables in-worksheet calculations and result validation for each bracketing cycle, offering instant insight and simplified reporting.
Display analyte results in either Fineness (‰) or Karats for precious metal industry standards.
Support for high-capacity SPS 6 autosampler
Software control to support the new Agilent SPS 6 autosampler.
Highlights:
User-programmable configuration supporting up to 540 samples.
Seamless integration with the Agilent ADS 2 autodilutor for longer unattended runs.
Auditory worksheet alerts and enhanced QC controls
Boost your workflow efficiency with new sound alerts and smarter QC management.
Highlights:
QC failure sound: Enable sound notifications for some or all QCs in a worksheet to streamline issue detection and response.
Run completion sound: Receive a distinct sound when a run finishes (distinguishable from the QC failure sound), helping minimize downtime and improve productivity.
Run stop on internal standard drift: Prevent wasted samples and time by enabling runs to automatically stop when internal standard drift exceeds user-defined thresholds.
What was new in ICP Expert version 7.7
- Advanced Dilution System (ADS 2) support
- New data analysis features
- Windows 11 support
- SQL Express 2022 CFR support
