ICP-OES Argon Gas Supply

Table 1. Typical flow rates for the Agilent ICP-OES instruments
Typical Flows
Measuring wavelengths

Measuring wavelengths
< 189 nm (poly boost on)
Argon can be used as a plasma gas and purge gas which results in a higher total
argon flow rate.
The user (or other authorized personnel) must carry out appropriate leak tests
necessary to ensure safety on the gas and liquid connections that the operator is
directed to assemble during installation, normal use or maintenance.
