Performance tests
The performance of the instrument is determined by these tests:
• Resolution test
• SBR/SRBR
• Precision
All tests should be run under stable ambient environmental conditions.
Make sure torch, nebulizer, Spraychamber, pump tubes etc. are clean and in good working
condition before starting up the instrument.
Polychromator heater and boost gas purge should be turned on for at least 2 hours before
running all tests.
Plasma should be on for at least 10 minutes before testing. The Peltier cooling should be on for
at least 5 minutes before testing.
A Detector Calibrate (Dark Current scan) should be completed before testing.
A valid Wavelength Calibration must be run before testing.
Argon ratio should be measured and be within ±0.5 of the factory setting.
