Agilent G8018AA-Agilent 5800 VDV ICP-OES Spectro G8018AA

The G8018AA is the Agilent 5800 ICP‑OES configured in the Vertical Dual View (VDV) format — a laboratory inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer for multi‑element elemental analysis. As described by the manufacturer, the 5800 VDV performs fast, simultaneous full‑wavelength measurements for routine and high‑throughput sample workflows (environmental, industrial, food, and materials testing) and can be upgraded on‑site to Agilent’s Synchronous VDV mode for expanded measurement capability.

Key Features:

• Model/configuration: Agilent 5800 ICP‑OES, Vertical Dual View (VDV) (manufacturer designation G8018AA).
• RF generator: 27 MHz solid‑state, frequency‑agile design with 750–1500 W output range.
• Detection: fast simultaneous detector delivering full‑wavelength simultaneous measurement.
• Torch: vertically oriented torch with automated torch‑loader alignment to reduce handling/cleaning.
• Upgradeable: on‑site upgrade path to Synchronous Vertical Dual View (SVDV) configuration.

Advantages:

• High throughput — VDV geometry plus a simultaneous detector speeds multi‑element analysis.
• Improved sensitivity and low detection limits enabled by Agilent optics design (manufacturer data).
• Reduced maintenance and downtime because the vertical torch design and torch loader lower cleaning and replacement frequency.
• Built‑in smart software and self‑diagnostic/performance tests simplify method development and help prevent common failures.
