Axial, Radial, or Dual View
Profile’s Echelle design is ideally suited to allow observation of the plasma in
the radial, axial, or dual view modes. Its elegant entrance optics provide this
flexibility without the need for complex lens/aperture systems, as required
by other ICP systems. With Profile Plus, fewer optical surfaces mean more
light throughput and therefore lower detection limits.

The traditional radially viewed plasma has a well-deserved reputation

for robustness and is the configuration of choice for many applications.
Providing detection limits that are approximately ten times better than a
radial system, the axial plasma has taken ICP into application areas that were
previously difficult, if not impossible.

Combining the best features

of axial and radial viewing is
the dual view system. Capable
of running in both radial and
axial mode (on an element-
by-element basis in a single
method), the dual view is able
to analyze virtually any sample
for ultra-trace, trace and major
elements without the need for
multiple sample dilutions.

The Profile Plus combines

superb analytical capability,
versatility, and performance
into an easy-to-use benchtop
design.

The Profile’s design uses fewer optical surfaces, maximizing

light throughput for superior detection limits.

area. The Profile Plus family has a new Auto-Align Torch System that
eliminates the guesswork usually encountered when installing torches
and spray chambers. Designed with the users’ needs in mind, the Auto-Align Torch
precisely repositions the torch, whenever removal and replacement is needed. Every
operator will be able to perfectly position the torch every time; consistently generating
high quality results.

The Auto-Align Torch System makes it easy to configure your Profile Plus to handle even
the most difficult analytical applications. A wide selection of sample introduction hardware
is available, including systems for use with aqueous, organic and HF samples. Each is easily
integrated with the Auto-Aligh Torch system.

High Efficiency ICP Power Supply

Incorporated into the Profile Plus is a state-of-the-art power supply. Its fast switching
design compensates for fluctuations of incoming power, resulting in outstanding stability
without requiring expensive line conditioners. This means faster warm-ups, and superior
analytical reliability.

The power supply is built into the body of the instrument, resulting in a compact,
benchtop spectrometer. This reduces laboratory space, to an absolute minimum.

The Profile Plus uses the Teledyne Leeman Labs 40.68 MHz free running oscillator for
superior tolerance to a wide variety of sample types, including high solids and organics.
Software Element Selection

Teledyne Leeman Labs’ WinICP software is designed to fully control

the analytical process — from Method Development to Final Report
Generation — providing the right amount of flexibility, without the
complexity. In the routine analytical or research environment, WinICP
has the features along with the ease-of-use necessary to get the job
done quickly and efficiently.

Element Selection
Select an element from the periodic chart. Choose the best wavelength
from the list or any other wavelength. Use as many (or as few) defaults Scan Page
as you wish to streamline data entry for each element — all standard
and check standard concentrations, as well as integration times can be
entered with a single button.

Scan Page
Simply scan a standard and sample to quickly estimate a concentration,
set a background point or identify possible interferences.

Calibration
Automatically run a calibration using up to 10 standards and 7 check
standards by placing the standards into the autosampler and initiating
the cycle. Calibration plots can be viewed quickly and easily.
Calibration
Select the autosampler rack and specify the number of samples to be
analyzed and the Profile Plus goes to work. WinICP also lets you turn
elements on or off without having to open the method.

Generate reports with as much or as little data as you wish. Take

advantage of WinICP’s ability to output data in a variety of formats,
making compatibility with other software applications straightforward.
