Proprietary features on the Avio 550 Max ICP-OES include:

• Flat Plate™ plasma technology delivers a more robust, stable plasma, the lowest argon consumption of any ICP, and is maintenance-free
• PlasmaShear™ system offers maintenance-free, argon-free interference removal
• Universal Data Acquisition in Syngistix software, only available on the Avio 550/560 Max, enables simultaneous acquisition of all available wavelengths, with virtually no time or storage penalty
• Vertical plasma torch design provides 100% matrix tolerance, minimizing sample preparation time
• Dual view optimizes axial and radial plasma viewing to the extended linear dynamic range, measuring high and low concentrations in the same run, regardless of wavelength
• Advanced optical system with free-form and off-axis coated optics brings improved precision, accuracy and speed
• Color PlasmaCam™ provides continuous viewing of the plasma, simplifying method development and enabling remote diagnostic capabilities
• Syngistix for ICP Software delivers an intuitive, left-to-right, icon-based design, mirroring the progression of your workflow with smart features that guide you through each step for greater control and confidence

For added flexibility, the Avio 550 Max is available in three configurations, allowing you to select the option best suited for your application(s).

• The Scott/Cross-Flow sample introduction configuration of the Avio 220 Max is suitable for most applications, even those requiring hydrofluoric acid.
• The Cyclonic/Concentric sample introduction configuration of the Avio 220 Max is designed to provide higher efficiency, better precision, and faster washout times, but is not recommended for hydrofluoric acid applications.
• The Oils configuration of the Avio 550 Max is ideal for organic analysis applications such as the Caterpillar® S.O.S. Program and ASTM® methods D4951 and D5185.
