prepFAST Station Features

Accuracy

Average Accuracy: 100% ± 1%

prepFAST Station automatically dilutes samples and standards at a high level of accuracy. ICPMS recovery for 1000 samples of Be, Ni, Cu, As, and Pb averaged 100% ± 1% at a 10x dilution factor.

Precision

Average Precision: < 0.2% RSD

prepFAST Station produces superior results equal to or above the quality of manual dilutions without the hassle. prepFAST Station can dilute samples as low as 0.2% RSD or better depending on the final prepared sample volume.

Carryover

Average Carryover: 0.0012%

prepFAST Station has low carryover and minimal crosscontamination. The probe is rinsed internally and externally in a dual rinse station before and after preparing each sample. Rinseout after processing a high multielement standard shows a signal reduction factor averaging 82000x, equivalent to 0.0012% carryover-- comparable to the best rinseout data expected using ICPMS.
