Agilent Technologies' 4100 microwave plasma-atomic emission spectrometer (MP-AES) is one of the winners of this year's R&D 100 Award. Run by R&D Magazine, the award recognizes the 100 most technologically significant products introduced onto the market over the past year. Unlike other AES systems, the 4100 MP-AES uses a nitrogen-based plasma generator that runs on air, and thus does not require any flammable or expensive gases.

I've had the chance to test this device. It's really impressive.

Small footprint, no noise at all, no gas consumption, no chiller needed, no special power supply, reasonably fast analysis and extremely accurate data response.

It was introduced to speed up flame AA, but it rather seems a good Argon swallowing traditional ICP competitor.

You should try it!
