    The Avio 200 ICP-OES:
    A Unique Double-Monochromator
    Optical System

    Introduction
    PerkinElmer's Avio™ 200 ICP-OES gains its outstanding analytical performance from its novel optical
    system, including a unique double monochromator, dual backside-illuminated charge-coupled device
    (DBI-CCD) detector, real-time Dynamic Wavelength Stabilization™, and automatic dual viewing of the
    plasma torch. It’s the combination of these innovative components that provides the Avio 200 ICP-OES with:

    • Exceptional analytical speed • Excellent spectral resolution


    • Reduced spectral interferences • High analytical flexibility
    • Maximum light throughput • Smallest footprint

    The Avio 200 ICP-OES spectrometer’s unique double monochromator.
