Microwave plasma atomic emission spectrometer
How to use MP-AES
1. Compressor power ON （ Press「運転」)
2. Power ON of the nitrogen generator 3. Connect the duct of the main unit a. Remove the lid from the hole in the duct before connecting. b. Also take the cover over the air intake behind the duct. 4. Power on exhaust fan 5. Open the argon supply line (counterclockwise) (2 places) (right figure) 6. Power on the main unit. Power button: Located on the front right side.
7. PC power ON (monitor power ON)
Enter password and start PC (PW is displayed on sticker)
Launch "MP Expert" software
Click 「装置」(Device) on the menu bar If there is something wrong, it will be displayed in red, but if there is no problem, Click 「パージ開始」(Purge) at the bottom left Click 「ダッシュボード/ (Dashboard) : Check device status 「ゲージ選択」"Gauge selection" → 「ガス制御」(Gas control) pressed Leave until the O2 concentration enters the opposite side of the green (2-3 minutes) Wait until the purge is completed. When completed, return to the status screen. Click 「ダッシュボード」(Dashboard) Click 「開始」(Start) for the nebulizer test When finished, return to status 8. Tube set Set the tube of the main unit to the pump. Pull the tube to the right and Smoker, drainer, set both defeat the lever brought to the rotation axis Lever Smoker is closer
State in which the tube has been set
Check that the drain side tube is set in the waste liquid receiving container Check if the tube is set in a container containing Milli-Q 9. Washing Click 「ポンプ」(Pump) on the menu bar of PC Standard pump 標準ポンプ High speed pump 高速ポンプ There are two types, but usually a standard pump. Select a high-speed pump for faster cleaning (return to standard pump after cleaning) Ready to go!
Measurement work 10.Starting plasma Click on 「プラズマ」(plasma) on the menu bar of the PC The main unit is ON (green lamp is lit) Caution: Never stop the pump while the plasma is on (Do not press OFF of "Plasma") Wait 10-15 minutes While waiting, create the method
11.Creating a method Return to the desktop screen of the original PC Select 「テンプレートから作成」"Create from template" Select and click the file you want to refer to in 「最近使用したテンプレー ト」"Recently used templates".
Click 「元素」"Element" Select all the elements to be measured. Choose the emission wavelength of each element
Click 「設定」"Settings"-keep the default
Click 「条件」“Condition” Leave the default
Click 「標準溶液」 "Standard solution"
Register standard solution information for calibration curve Enter the number of standard solutions to use besidesCalibration the blank error, correlation Enter the name and concentration of each standard solution coefficient (You can also select the type of calibration curve) limit is set, the calibration curve Click 「シーケンス」(Sequence) cannot be drawn unless Registration of sample to be measured it falls within the set Enter the number of samples Enter the name of each sample
Save the method file under a name. Save to the My results folder. (Saving it as a template is convenient because it can be used for similar measurements in the future.)
12.Calibration Minimize the screen and return to the "Device" screen
Click 「較正」“Calibration” Main unit: Set the calibration standard solution and insert the tube PC: Change 「ポンプ」“Pump” setting to “High speed” After confirming that the standard solution has entered the chamber on the main unit, return to the standard.
Click 「装置較正」“Calibration” Wait until it finishes as the software starts
When finished, wash tubes
Prepare and use containers for cleaning Check the setting of "Pump" at high speed, and then return to the standard. Ready for measurement
13.Measurement Return to MP Expert screen
Click 「分析」“Analyze” OK with the default
Click 「実行」 “Execute” Save file
Manual sample introduction
Set samples as instructed Click 「続行」"Continue" to start analysis
Replace the sample and measure.
(When washing in the middle, (1) set the washing liquid, set the high-speed pump of the "pump", then check the flow and return to the standard pump.)
14.Check the calibration curve
Check if a calibration curve has been written for each set element and emission wavelength If the calibration curve is not closed,… First, the intensity is displayed, and the setting of the concentration of the calibration curve exceeding the measurement error of 25% is removed. Also, confirm the range of the intensity of the measured value, and remove any deviation from the calibration curve. Check if calibration curve was drawn Check the measurement result by changing to the concentration display
15.Saving measurement data
How to stop equipment a. Washing 5 minutes with ultrapure water → 5 minutes with nitric acid → 10 minutes or more with ultrapure water b. Stop plasma Go to the “Device” screen on the PC. Turn off plasma with 「プラズマ」"plasma"
Stop plasma
Remove the tube → → Use the prepared Kim towel
Close the “Device” screen.
c. Stop PC 5 minutes after turning off the plasma d. Stop the ventilation fan → After about 1 minute, remove the duct. Cover the hole. Cover the sieve hole at the back → e. Close the argon supply line f. Compressor off After the compressor pressure drops enough g. Turn off the device
