scoutDX Inline Remote Sampling System for ICPMS and ICP

scoutDX automatically collects representative samples from single or multiple liquid streams or baths, prepares the samples by dilution or addition of one or more standards, and delivers a representative sample to a centrally located spectrometer for chemical analysis. scoutDX eliminates the need for a technician to collect and deliver samples for laboratory analysis and allows 24/7 remote monitoring of critical processes. It can improve both the quantity and quality of analytical data for improved process control and facilitate process improvement.

The scoutDX system can be configured as a continuous monitor of a single stream or periodic monitor of single or multiple sample streams. Samples may be located up to several hundred meters from the central spectrometer, potentially allowing up to 10 or more process streams within a large factory to be monitored from a centrally-located ICPMS or other spectrometer.

scoutDX continuous monitoring examples:

• Semiconductor inline process monitoring applications for ultratrace metal impurities and control monitoring
• Industrial and food process stream monitoring
• Inline monitoring waste effluent streams for environmental contaminants

Temporary monitoring applications:
scoutDX remote modules are portable for easy installation at temporary sites. For sampling at distances greater than 3 to 5 meters, an aerosol transfer line connects the sample line to the detection instrument.
