Thermo Scientific™ iCAP™ PRO Series Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometer (ICP-OES) Technical Overview

Core Technological Innovations

As Thermo Fisher's flagship ICP-OES platform, the iCAP PRO series incorporates three breakthrough technologies:

1. Dual-View Plasma Observation System

   • Simultaneous axial/radial viewing with ppt-level detection limits (e.g., 0.08μg/L for Cd 214.439nm)
   • Proprietary QuickSwap™ technology enables viewing mode transition in <5 seconds

2. Intelligent Plasma Control

   • Dynamic impedance matching maintains RF power fluctuation <0.1%
   • Patented Gas Efficiency System reduces argon consumption by 30%

3. 4th-Generation CID Detector

   • -70℃ thermoelectric cooling with dark current <0.1pA
   • Full-spectrum readout (167-852nm simultaneous acquisition)

Industry Application Performance

Secondary Market Valuation

1. Value Determinants

   • Configuration: Duo standard model (¥450k) vs XHR high-resolution (¥680k)
   • Usage: 12-15% annual depreciation (lab-certified units outperform industrial)

2. Critical Inspection Criteria
   ✓ Torch positioning repeatability (RSD<0.5%)
   ✓ Nebulizer gas tightness (≤0.5mL/min Ar leakage)
   ✓ Optical chamber stability (±0.01℃/h)

3. Value-Added Refurbishment

   • Ceramic injector replacement (recommended after 5,000 ignitions)
   • Qtegra 2.9 software upgrade (adds FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance)

Localization Progress

Amid U.S.-China tech competition:

• Tariff Impact: 23% price increase for U.S.-made units (2024 customs data)
• Domestic Alternatives:
  ✓ Wanyi Tech ICP-5000 (70% localized components)
  ✓ Haiguang HGA-100 (competitive in environmental applications)

Service Advantages

1. Response Time

   • 4-hour onsite support in Yangtze River Delta (vs 48-hour industry average)

2. Consumable Cost Comparison

   Consumable	OEM Price	Domestic Alternative
   Nebulizer	¥12,800	¥3,200 (equivalent performance)
   Torch	¥9,500	¥2,800 (80% lifespan)
