​Analytical P​erformance

Iridia has high stability laser energy output coupled with highly developed sample chamber flow dynamics enabling high quality analytical performance that can make full use of the rapidly advancing IC​​P-MS technology.

The patented Cobalt sample chamber offers unrivaled flexibility from single millisecond to over second signal generation. With a 300 Hz, 500 and 1 kHz option​, there are configurations for all needs. Compared to all previous 2‑volume samples chambers, the Cobalt chamber can achieve greater analytical performance with far lower gas usage. Typical He usage is around 4 to 5 times lower than previous systems, for example, with a total He consumption of less than 1 LPM.

Powe​​rful, Easy To Use Software

The Chromium 3.0 operating ​​software has been completely re-engineered to provide a streamlined user experience. When coupled to HDIP, the Iridia becomes an incredibly powerful analytical package, offering unrivaled analytical flexibility with increasingly automated data reduction and interrogation modules. ​
