General
Operation of a Agilent 710/715/720/725/730/735 ICP Optical
Emission Spectrometer involves the use of compressed gases, high
voltage radio frequency energy and hazardous materials including
corrosive fluids and flammable liquids. Careless, improper or
unskilled use of this spectrometer can cause death or serious injury
to personnel, and/or severe damage to equipment and property.
The spectrometer incorporates interlocks and covers that are
designed to prevent inadvertent contact with any potential hazards.
If the instrument is used in any manner not specified by Agilent, this
protection may be impaired. It is good practice to develop safe
working habits that do not depend upon the correct operation of the
interlocks for safe operation. It is essential that no interlock or cover
is bypassed, damaged or removed.

The safety practices described below are provided to help the user
operate the instrument safely. Read each safety topic thoroughly
before attempting to operate the instrument and ALWAYS operate
the spectrometer in accordance with these safety practices.
Plasma
The plasma is extremely hot (about 10 000 K) and radiates dangerous
levels of radio frequency (RF) and ultraviolet (UV) energy. The work
coil operates at 1 500 V RMS and about 40 MHz. Exposure to the RF
and UV energy can cause severe skin damage and cataracts of the
eyes, while close contact with the operating plasma can result in
severe heat burns to the skin, and an electrical discharge which can
jump a considerable distance and may cause death, severe electric
shock or sub-surface skin burns.
The plasma must NEVER be operated unless:
the torch compartment door is closed, with the locking lever fully
latched; and
the space above the chimney is clear of objects.
The shielding around the torch compartment is designed to reduce
UV, visible and RF radiation to safe levels while still permitting easy
access to, as well as installation and viewing of, the torch. The
spectrometer has an interlock system that is designed to extinguish
the plasma if either the mains supply fails or the handle on the torch
compartment door is opened. DO NOT attempt to bypass the
interlock system.
Before opening the torch compartment door, ALWAYS extinguish the
plasma by pressing F4 on the keyboard or by clicking the Plasma Off
icon on the ICP Expert II software Toolbar.
The torch and its surroundings remain hot for up to five minutes
after the plasma is extinguished. Touching this area before it has
cooled sufficiently may result in burns. Allow the torch and torch
compartment to cool before carrying out any work in this area, or
wear heat-resistant gloves.

The plasma system has been carefully designed to operate safely and
effectively when using torches and related components that conform
to Agilents design criteria. Use of non-approved components in the
plasma compartment may render the system inoperative and/or
hazardous. It may also invalidate the warranty on the instrument.
Use only torches and related components supplied or authorized by
Agilent.
Heat, Vapors and Fumes

Heat, ozone, vapors and fumes generated by the plasma can be
hazardous, and must be extracted from the instrument by means of
an exhaust system. Ensure that an exhaust system of the appropriate
type is fitted (as specified in the Pre-installation manual). The system
must be vented to the outside air in accordance with local regulations
and never within the building. Regularly check the exhaust system by
smoke test to ensure that the exhaust system is functioning correctly.
The exhaust fan must always be switched on BEFORE igniting the
plasma.
Compressed Gas Hazards

All compressed gases (other than air) can create a hazard if they leak
into the atmosphere. Even small leaks in gas supply systems can be
dangerous. Any leak (except that of air) can result in an oxygen
deficient atmosphere which can cause asphyxiation. The area in
which cylinders are stored and the area surrounding the instrument
must be adequately ventilated to prevent such gas accumulations.
Gas cylinders must be stored and handled strictly in accordance with
local safety codes and regulations. Cylinders must be used and stored
only in a vertical position and secured to an immovable structure or
a properly constructed cylinder stand. Move cylinders only by
securing them to a properly constructed trolley.
Use only approved regulator and hose connectors (refer to the gas
suppliers instructions). Keep gas cylinders cool and properly
labeled. (All cylinders are fitted with a pressure relief device that will
rupture and empty the cylinder if the internal pressure is raised
above the safe limit by excessive temperatures.) Ensure that you have
the correct cylinder before connecting it to the instrument.

The primary gas to be used with the spectrometer is argon, which is

the conductive gas for the plasma. Argon or nitrogen can be used as
the polychromator purge gas. Other gases may be required for future
options and accessories. Use only instrument grade gases with your
spectrometer.
If using cryogenic gases (for example, liquid argon) prevent severe
burns by wearing suitable protective clothing and gloves.
Electrical Hazards
The spectrometer system and some accessories contain electrical
circuits, devices and components operating at dangerous voltages.
Contact with these circuits, devices and components can cause death,
serious injury or painful electric shock. Panels or covers which are
retained by screws on the spectrometer and accessories may be
opened ONLY by Agilenttrained, Agilent-qualified or
Agilentapproved field service engineers (unless specified otherwise).
Consult the manuals or product labels supplied with your personal
computer (PC), monitor, printer/plotter and water-cooling system to
determine which parts are operator-accessible.
Replace blown fuses with ones of the size and rating shown in the
text near to the fuse holder.
Other Precautions
Use of the spectrometer system and accessories may involve
materials, solvents and solutions which are flammable, corrosive,
toxic or otherwise hazardous. Careless, improper or unskilled use of
such materials, solvents and solutions can create explosion hazards,
fire hazards, toxicity and other hazards that can result in death,
serious personal injury or damage to equipment.
Always ensure that laboratory safety practices governing the use,
handling and disposal of hazardous materials are strictly observed.
These safety practices should include wearing appropriate safety
clothing and safety glasses.

Air flow to the cooling fans of the spectrometer and accessories must
be unobstructed. Do not block the ventilation grills on the
spectrometer and accessories. Consult the manuals supplied with
your PC, monitor, printer and water-cooling system for their specific
ventilation requirements.
Great care should be taken when working with glass or quartz parts
to prevent breakage and cuts. This is especially important when
attaching plastic tubing to glass barbs, or removing and replacing
pieces of broken torch or bonnet.
The spectrometer weighs approximately 203 kg (448 lb). To avoid
injury to personnel or damage to the instrument or property, always
use a forklift or other suitable mechanical lifting device to move the
instrument.
Use only Agilent-supplied spares with your instrument.

Warning Symbols
The following is a list of symbols that appear in conjunction with
warnings on the spectrometer. The hazard they describe is also

specifications (0-10000 ft)
Environmental Conditions
The area selected for the operation of a Agilent 700 Series ICP-OES
system must be free from drafts, corrosive atmospheres and
vibration. Sample preparation areas and materials storage facilities
should be located in a separate room.
Temperature Control
The area should be a dust free, low humidity environment. Air-
conditioning is strongly recommended for control of the
environment. For optimum analytical performance it is
recommended that the ambient temperature of the laboratory is
between 20 and 25 C (68 and 77 F).
The heat generated by the Agilent 700 Series ICP-OES system into the
laboratory is about 3650 watts (joules per second), or 13140
kilojoules per hour (12455 BTU per hour).

NOTE Most of the 3650 watts generated by the system is extracted from the laboratory
by the exhaust system.
The water cooler generates approximately 1000 watts (joules per

second), or 3600 kilojoules per hour (3412 BTU per hour).
Total load with both the water cooler and Agilent 700 Series ICP-OES
in the same room can be up to 4650 watts or 16740 kilojoules per
hour (15867 BTU per hour).
After the temperature requirements have been met, check the checklist box: Lab
temperature maintained between 20 and 25 C.
Cleanliness
Limit dust levels to less than 36 000 000 particles (0.5 microns or
larger) per cubic meter of air. This is equivalent to a very clean office.
After the cleanliness requirements have been met, check the checklist box: Laboratory
is free of excessive particulate matter.
Instrument Cooling Air Supply

The Agilent 700 Series ICP-OES instrument requires clean, dry, non-
corrosive air for cooling purposes. This is supplied to the
instrument through an air supply vent located at the top, rear of the
instrument. The vent is fitted with a dust filter, to filter out
particulate matter from the surrounding environment.
The air supply is used to cool the RF generator and the electronics of
the instrument. Several of these assemblies contain parts prone to
corrosion. The introduction of cooling air contaminated with high
levels of acid vapor or other corrosive substances may cause damage
to the instrument.

Due to the corrosive nature of some analytical work, it is

recommended that in applications demanding high usage of corrosive
materials, an external cooling air supply system be provided. It is
strongly recommended that the cooling air be supplied from an
environmentally controlled area that is away from the instrument
exhaust and any other area where corrosive materials are stored or
used.
The cooling air system with flue, fan, ducting and supply cowl, must
provide a minimum positive flow of 6 cubic meters per minute
(200 cfm). The ducting should be corrosion resistant and fire-proof.
NOTE If an external cooling air supply system is required, an air inlet duct attachment
(part number 0110595300) must be ordered with the instrument.
After the instrument cooling air supply requirements have been met, check the
checklist box: Cooling air system is set up.
Workbench
The Agilent 700 Series ICP-OES is a precision optical instrument. The
workbench must be free from vibration and must be stable and
strong enough to support the total weight of the equipment to be
placed on top of the workbench. The bench top should be large
enough to permit free circulation of air through the main instrument
and around each of the accessories.
The information provided in the weights and dimensions table will
help make planning easier. Portable or semi-permanent trolleys can
be used as workbenches for the spectrometer system, but you must
lock the wheels. Accessories such as the Sample Preparation System
(SPS) Autosampler, personal computer (PC) and printer can be
positioned on a trolley. A specially designed SPS trolley is available
from Agilent (part number 9910027800).

To avoid damage through spillage of samples being used, the

instrument bench top should be covered with a material that is
corrosion-resistant and impervious to liquid spillage. Generally, for
comfortable working conditions and easy access to the instrument
sample introduction system, Agilent recommends that the height of
the workbench be approximately 900 mm (36 in.) high. Refer to
Figure 1.
900 mm
3000 mm
Figure 1. Instrument workbench
Workbench Location
The workbench location should permit service access from all sides.
A minimum of 400 mm (16 in.) free space at the sides of the
spectrometer and approximately 750 mm (30 in.) at the rear of the
instrument is required for maintenance and service access.
The Agilent 700 Series ICP-OES system should not be located close to
an access door, window or any other area where drafts may cause
unstable temperature conditions.
The following diagrams show the relative dimensions of the main
instrument including the space needed for service access. These
dimensions should be considered during the preparation for
installation of your spectrometer.

The location of the workbench may be determined by the need for an

exhaust flue to remove fumes and vapors from the spectrometer
sample compartment (see Section 4).

IEEE 488 Interface

The Agilent 700 Series ICP-OES systems require a PCI-GPIB card to
be fitted in the PC. A National Instruments PCI GPIB card (part
number 9910102100) will always be included in your instrument
order.
The Agilent service engineer will install this PCI GPIB card in your
PC. If you are supplying your own PC, you will need to install this
card yourself (refer to the instrument operation manual, supplied
with the instrument, for PCI GPIB card installation instructions).
After the computer requirements have been met, check the checklist box: Computer
requirements met.
Telediagnostics
In order to make use of Telediagnostics, it is recommended that a
separate telephone line is installed for connection to a modem.
A modem and Agilent Telediagnostics kit provides remote diagnostic
capabilities. Service engineers can operate all instrument functions
remotely and spend less time troubleshooting on-site. By using
Telediagnostics, problems can be determined over the phone and
parts ordered in advance of the engineer arriving at the site, reducing
down time.
Contact your local Agilent sales and service office to inquire about
whether this service is available in your area.


Instrument Shipping Information

In-house Transit Routes 31
Insurance after Delivery 32
Weights and Dimensions 33
Transit Damage 35
Unpacking the Instrument 35
Generally, Agilent 700 Series ICP-OES instruments are sold as Free

On Board to the shipping point, with the transportation from this
point at the customers expense. Due to the size and nature of the
spectrometer, it is advisable that a third party is engaged to assist
with transportation from the point of unloading to the final
placement of the instrument in the laboratory. The Agilent field Sales
and Service Offices will be able to assist in the task of recommending
a third party that specializes in the transportation of precision
scientific instrumentation.
NOTE The Agilent field service engineer cannot start the installation until the
instrument is situated on the intended workbench.
In-house Transit Routes

In-house transit routes must be carefully considered. Vertical,
horizontal and turning clearances should be calculated from the
shipping crate dimensions of the spectrometer, which is the largest
unit in any system arrangement.

Figure 5 provides an indication of the minimum turning clearance

and minimum door width required for the spectrometer in its
shipping crate.
Particular attention should be made to the clearance of any doors in
the transit route to the laboratory. The required turning and door
clearance may need to take into consideration any lifting device used
for transporting the instrument (e.g., fork lift, pallet truck or trolley).

Figure 5. Maximum clearance required for transportation in the shipping crate
After the in-house transit route requirements have been met, check the checklist
box: Entrance to the lab is at least 2200 cm (86.6 in.) wide.
Insurance after Delivery

As the carriers liability ceases when the equipment is delivered,
Agilent recommends that the instrument owner arranges separate
insurance that will cover transportation from the delivery point to
the installation site. The delivery point will vary according to the
carrier, the shipping method, and in some cases the terms of sale.
Some carriers will only deliver to their own distribution center, while
others may deliver to the actual installation site.

Transit Damage
Transit damage can be obvious or concealed, and in either case will
only be admitted by the carrier if it is reported as agreed in the terms
of their agreement. For any claims against damage in transit, the
following general rules apply.
Before accepting delivery, you should inspect the packages for
signs of obvious damage. The nature of any obvious damage must
be noted on the carriers waybill, and then must be countersigned
by a representative of the carrier.
Within the time limits stated in the terms of conditions of
carriage, a further inspection must be made for concealed
damage. If any damage is found at this stage, the carrier must be
notified in writing and all packaging material must be retained
for subsequent inspection by a representative of the carrier.
A copy of any damage report must be forwarded to the Agilent
Sales Office dealing with the supply of the equipment.
Agilent 700 Series ICP-OES systems are inherently robust, and the
packaging is designed to prevent damage. It must be remembered
that the contents form part of a precision measuring system and all
packages should be handled accordingly. In transit, sharp jolts and
shocks must be avoided and the packages must not be inverted or
tilted unnecessarily. Markings on the shipping cartons generally
indicate the required orientation of the carton.
Unpacking the Instrument

The following section provides a guide on how to unpack the
instrument and place it on the work bench, along with
recommendations on equipment required to perform this task. More

Exhaust System
The plasma operates at a temperature of approximately 10000 C,
(18000 F) with up to 1800 watts of RF energy (6480 kilojoules per
hour). Sample compartment exhaust fumes can be noxious or
corrosive.
The Agilent 700 Series ICP-OES must be located under a flue that is
vented by an exhaust fan and ducted to an external vent. The exhaust
system with flue, ducting and external vent must provide a minimum
flow of 6 cubic meters per minute (200 cfm).
The exhaust system installation must comply with any rules and/or
regulations that may be imposed by the local authorities responsible
for control of facilities and fixtures in the work place.
The exhaust fan should be located at least 2 meters (6 feet and
6 inches) away from the top of the instrument chimney. The fan
control switch and running indicator lamp should be located in a
position where the instrument operator can view the indicator and
access the control switch.
Ducting must be corrosion-resistant, fireproof and should be kept
clear of fire alarms, sprinkler heads and other heat sensitive devices.
The external vent must be fitted with a back draft damper and the
outlet location must be clear of doors, windows and heater or air-
conditioning units.

Electrical Power Supplies

The installation of electrical power supplies must comply with the
rules and/or regulations imposed by the local authorities responsible
for the use of electrical energy in the workplace.
All power supplies for the Agilent 700 Series ICP-OES, its accessories
and water cooler should be single phase, AC, 3 wire systems (active,
neutral, ground; or two active and ground). Each connection should
be terminated at an appropriate receptacle within reach of each
assemblys power cable. Use of power boards or extension cables is
not recommended.
It is recommended that separate mains circuits, (individually
protected by fuses or circuit breakers) are used for each component
in the system such as the water cooler, auto-sampler and printer.

Avoid using power supplies from a source that may be subject to

electrical interference from other services (such as large electric
motors, elevators, welders and air conditioning units).
Agilent 700 Series ICP-OES are supplied with a 2 meter long (6 feet
and 6 inches), mains supply cable. The power cable is hardwired to
the rear of the instrument. The cable is manufactured by Titanex and
rated to 750 VAC at 58 amps and terminated as indicated in Table 8
on Page 47.
Local regulations in several European countries do not permit the
use of a breakable wall-mounted power supply connection for high
current single phase mains supplies. In these areas, the mains power
supply to the Agilent 700 Series ICP-OES should be hardwired to the
wall.
In Canada, local regulations require the mains power supply cable to
be wired with a UL/CSA approved cable and connector. For Canada
only the power cable shipped from the factory must be replaced with
a locally sourced UL/CSA cable such as Carol 02728. The use of the
USA connector and wall socket listed in Table 8 on Page 47 are
recommended.
The Agilent 700 Series ICP-OES draws a maximum of 28 Amps RMS
at 187 volts with a power factor of approximately 0.70. In areas
where 208 to 240 VAC single phase power supplies are not available
at the required rating, two active phases from a two or three phase
system may be used with a 380/415 volt phase-to-phase, to 220 volt
single phase step down transformer.

date.
Gas Supplies
The installation of compressed or liquid gas supplies must comply
with the rules and/or regulations imposed by the local authorities
responsible for such use in the workplace.
Liquid or gaseous argon and nitrogen may be used with the Agilent
700 Series ICP-OES system. Agilent recommends the use of Liquid
gases which are usually higher purity, more convenient and cheaper
per unit volume.
NOTE Either argon or nitrogen gas may be used as an optics purge gas on the Agilent
700 Series ICP-OES systems.
The main gas supply requirement is argon for supply to the plasma,
nebulizer and optics interface purge (plus camera purge for Agilent
720/730 Series ICP-OES). Gas is also required to purge the
polychromator assembly, and this may be either argon or nitrogen. A
separate gas line connects internally to the argon supply unless the
optional nitrogen purge kit is fitted (either factory or field-fitted).

NOTE The nitrogen purge kit is fitted as standard on the Agilent 730 Series ICP-OES
systems.

The Agilent 700 Series ICP-OES is fitted with a PTFE gas supply hose,
1.8 meters (6 feet) in length fitted with 1/4 inch Swagelok hardware.
Gas supply adaptors are included with each instrument to connect
the instrument to regulated gas supplies.
Storage Cylinder Instructions

Cylinders containing gas under pressure should be firmly secured to
a rigid structure, and the storage area must be adequately ventilated.
Never locate gas cylinders near a source of ignition, or in a position
that is subject to direct heat. Gas storage cylinders often incorporate
a pressure release device which will discharge the gas at a
predetermined temperature, usually around 52 C (125 F).
If gases are to be plumbed from a remote storage area to the
instrument site, ensure that the local outlets are fitted with stop
valves, pressure gauges and suitable regulators which are easily
accessible to the instrument operator. The gas outlets must be
provided within 1.5 meters (5 feet) of the instrument.
Cryogenic Liquids
Cryogenic liquid gases are stored under pressure at very low
temperatures in Portable Liquid Cylinders (PLC).
WARNING Extreme Cold

Contact with the super-cold liquid, gas or pipe surfaces can cause severe
skin damage. The Portable Liquid Cylinders should be located in a shielded
position, and all piping should be routed or covered to prevent skin contact.
For high gas flow rates and/or low ambient temperatures, it may be
necessary to obtain sufficient gas pressure by passing the liquid
through an external evaporator rather than use the internal pressure
building facility of the PLCs.

Liquid argon and liquid nitrogen may not be stored for extended
periods and often have special storage requirements. Contact your
local authorities and cryogenic gas supplier for more detailed
information on storage requirements and boil-off rates for local types
of PLCs.
After the gas requirements have been met, check the checklist box: Gas supply (at
specified purity), regulator, and gas lines are installed for argon and optional nitrogen.
Water Cooling System

Agilent 700 Series ICP-OES instruments require a source of cooling
water. The water cooling system needs to remove up to 200 watts for
radial instruments and 950 watts for axial instruments. The cooling
water is required for the load coil and camera Peltier assembly. Axial
instruments also require cooling capacity for the sample cone
interface. The instrument incorporates an in-line particulate filter
and water flow sensor on the water supply line.
Provided that the flow rate can be maintained above 1.1 L/min, and
maximum supply pressure is below 310 kPa (45 psi), the cooling
water supply may be taken from an in-house domestic water system,
if local regulations permit.
An alternative is to install a recirculating water cooler system. The
system should provide cover for the reservoir to prevent evaporation
and stop contamination by dust or other impurities. Algaecide should
be used to prevent algae growth that may restrict the flow of cooling
water through the system.
A recirculating water cooling system has the advantage of reducing
the volume of water that will be required over the life of the
instruments operation. Because of the limited size of the water
cooler's reservoir, in the case of accidental damage the amount of
water damage that can occur will also be limited.
Specified models of the Lytron or Van der Heijden water coolers can
be used and will ensure the continued delivery of temperature
controlled coolant, at the correct pressure, with a minimum of long-
term maintenance or operational expense.

The Agilent field service engineer will connect the Agilent 700 Series
ICP-OES instrument to your water cooling system. Connection of the
water cooling system to the spectrometer, installation and
adjustment of the internal pressure regulator and cut-out valve
(where fitted) are included as part of the system installation.
Installation of the required power connections and the unpacking of
the cooler/recirculator must be performed prior to installation of the
instrument.
NOTE The operation manual, mounting and assembly hardware for the cooling system
is included in the water cooler packaging. Care should be exercised to locate all
of these articles before the pack is discarded.
Table 11. Agilent 700 Series ICP-OES cooling requirements

Maximum inlet pressure 310 kPa (45 psi)
NOTE Pressure regulation is recommended for water cooling systems which may
exceed the maximum permissible pressure of 310 kPa (45 psi) or may be subject
to pressure fluctuations.

The instrument is equipped with a water flow sensor which will stop
operation of the plasma and camera Peltier assembly if the cooling
water flow through the instrument drops below 1.1 L/min (0.3 gpm).

Location of Water Cooling System

Many water coolers are designed to be located and operated indoors.
Consult the water coolers literature for more information before
installing.
The coolant supply and return hoses of the Agilent 700 Series
ICP-OES are 3.0 meters long (10 feet). The inner diameter of the
return hose is 7 mm (1/4 inch). The inner diameter of the supply
hose is 9.5 mm (3/8 inch). The supply and return connection to the
water cooling source will require suitable metal barbs that
accommodate these diameter hoses. For most countries, the
appropriate barbs for connecting the instrument to the water coolers
are included with the instrument in kit form (part number
9910088600).

Part numbers for ordering additional hose by the meter and clamps:

Hose clamp (3/8 inch) 0810096700
After the water cooling requirements have been met, check the checklist box: Water
cooling/circulation system and power connections are set up.
Waste Fluid Container

Operation of the Agilent 700 Series ICP-OES system requires the use
of a drain vessel for the disposal of excess fluids and vapors from the
spraychamber. Suitable tubing is supplied with the spectrometer for
use with inorganic solvents. When using organic solvents, different
drain tubing that is suitable for the solvent in use will be required.
A chemically inert container, not glass or of a narrow necked style, to
hold minimum of two liters (four pints) of waste must be provided by
the instrument user. It should be located underneath the sample
compartment (or on the right side of the spectrometer), where it is
protected by the bench and in full view of the operator.
After the waste fluid container requirements have been met, check the checklist box:
Waste container appropriate for the chemical waste is prepared.

Guidelines for Software Installation

Agilent recommends that you purchase a PC as part of the Agilent
700 Series ICP-OES package. The PC included in the package will
come with the appropriate operating system as loaded by the PC
supplier.
For instructions on installing the Windows operating system, please
refer to the appropriate manuals supplied with the software. It is the
responsibility of the customer to ensure that the operating system
software has been installed and is functional if the customer is
supplying the PC or the operating system.
NOTE Agilent will not assume responsibility for loss of data.
The Agilent service engineer will connect the PC to the spectrometer

and any factory-approved accessories purchased at installation.
Initial instrument software installation is also included as part of the

Organic Solvents or Hydrofluoric Acid

If organic solvents or hydrofluoric acid are intended to be used with
the instrument, then special tubing and fittings are required.
Please refer to the Agilent Technologies Web site for details and part
number information.
NOTE The special fittings supplied for use with organic solvents and hydrofluoric acid
may not be suitable for acidic or alkaline solvents. The standard (originally
supplied) components should be retained for use in these applications.
Auxiliary Gas Module

The Auxiliary Gas Module (AGM 1) is an accessory used to introduce
a small amount of oxygen into the plasma of a Agilent 700 Series
ICP-OES.
The oxygen facilitates the analysis of volatile organics by ICP
techniques by reducing carbon build-up and background signal
resulting in lower detection limits when analyzing volatile organic
solutions.
The AGM 1 is generally used in conjunction with the cooled
spraychamber. This allows you to analyze directly, without dilution,
organic solutions with a high vapor pressure at room temperature
such as gasoline and naphtha. Cooling of the sample prevents high
vapor pressures being generated in the spraychamber, which can
cause back pressure in the chamber, destabilizing the plasma and
suppressing the analytical signal.
The cooled spraychamber requires a cooler capable of cooling the
spraychamber to approximately -10 C. This cooler is not included
with the AGM 1, cooled spraychamber or organics kits.
The AGM 1 unit features an on/off switch, a flow control knob and a
flow indicator.

Gas Requirements
All gas supply installations must comply with rules and/or
regulations that are imposed by the local authorities responsible for
the use of compressed gas in the workplace.
Table 15. AGM 1 gas supply requirements
Permissible pressure range 300700 kPa (43101 psi)
Recommended pressure 300 kPa (43 psi).
Required flow rates Up to 0.6 liters per minute
Cooled Spraychamber Organics Kit

range of commercially available low-cost autoclavable sample racks.
Sample contamination from airborne particles is eliminated and
corrosive or toxic fumes are removed during sampling with the
optional environmental enclosure.
Environmental Conditions
The SPS accessory is suitable only for indoor use. The site should be
selected to avoid dusty or corrosive atmospheres.
NOTE Extra maintenance may be required on the SPS if it is operated in excessively

dusty or corrosive conditions.
An Agilent-supplied trolley is available for the SPS for purchase (part

number 9910072800). A drain vessel must also be accommodated.
Vapor Generation Accessory Recommended Gases

The Vapor Generation Accessory (VGA) is fitted with 6 mm (1/4 inch)
internal diameter flexible hose for connection to a standard barbed
tail connector which must be supplied by the customer.
CAUTION The gas supply for the VGA must be a separate regulated line, to prevent
exceeding the maximum inlet pressure to the VGA.

NOTE The VGA allows a 45 mL/min flow of argon to pass through it even when it is
switched off. It is recommended that the argon gas line is fitted with a stop valve
to shut the gas supply off to the VGA.
Table 15. VGA gas supply requirements

Permissible pressure range 300 to 400 kPa (42 to 57 psi)
Recommended pressure 325 kPa (46 psi)
Required flow rates Up to 100 milliliters per minute
