EXPEC 6500 ICP-OES
Vertical-torch dual-view spectrometer · 165–900 nm · 1024 × 1024 ECCD · 500–1600 W solid-state RF
EXPEC 6500 is a full-spectrum, simultaneous ICP-OES for laboratories that must report trace, minor and major elements in the same run – from µg/L in drinking water to percent levels in alloys, ores and fertilisers. A vertical torch with axial and radial observation, a thermostatted echelle optic and a one-inch ECCD detector capture the whole spectrum in one exposure: up to 72 elements in about 10 s, with 8-hour stability RSD ≤ 1 %.
COLO.Science delivers the 6500 as a complete system: instrument, chiller, software, sample introduction for your matrices, installation, IQ/OQ qualification, operator training and local application support.

Application profile
Environment: drinking, surface and waste water, soil and sediment digests, sludge – trace metals next to Na, K, Ca, Mg at high levels.
Metals and alloys: ferroalloys (FeSi, FeSiMg, CaSi), steels, non-ferrous metals and precious-metal refining control.
Geology and mining: ores, concentrates, coal and ash, rare-earth elements after fusion or acid digestion.
Petrochemistry: wear metals and additives in oils, fuels and solvents with the organic introduction kit.
Food, feed and agriculture: nutrients and contaminants in food, fertilisers, plant material and feed.
Industry and research: chemicals, batteries, catalysts, pharmaceuticals (21 CFR Part 11) and university teaching.
Why laboratories choose the 6500
Wide concentration span in one run: intelligent attenuation handles samples across a 100× range without re-dilution.
Robust plasma for difficult matrices: vertical torch against salt build-up, self-excited RF that keeps the plasma on organic solvents.
Lower running cost: iStandby halves argon between batches; the demountable torch needs only a new centre tube per application.
Traceable data: full spectrum stored with every sample, audit trail and electronic signature for regulated work.

EXPEC 6500 ICP-OES · Technical SpecificationInside the instrumentSeven subsystems engineered for stability – from the argon inlet to the detector pixel
12345671Thermostatic optical chamber. Echelle grating 87 L/mm with quartz prism, 380 mm focal length, held at 36 ± 0.1 °C and thermally isolated from the main body.
2Dual-view transfer optics. Axial and radial light is switched or combined by the motorised mirror; radial observation height is adjustable per element.
3Vertical torch and load coil. Demountable quartz torch, 27.12 MHz induction, metal cooled cone removes the tail flame in axial view – no shear gas or compressor.
4Sample introduction. Quartz concentric nebulizer, cyclonic spray chamber; HF, high-salt and organic kits interchangeable.
5Multi-channel mass-flow control. Plasma, auxiliary and nebulizer argon plus two expansion channels (Ar dilution, O2), 0.01 L/min resolution.

EXPEC 6500 ICP-OES · Technical SpecificationPlasma, RF generator and sample introductionA plasma that stays stable from clean water to 100 % toluene and high-salt digests
RF generator
500–1600 W, fully digital dual-supply control, adjustable in 1 W steps – a wider range than most instruments in this class.
Self-excited, 27.12 MHz, coupling efficiency > 80 %; fast matching keeps the plasma on when organic samples or even air enter the torch.
Power stability ≤ 0.1 %, frequency stability ≤ 0.01 %, water-cooled, no moving parts.
iStandby: 500 W standby with ≤ 5 L/min argon, analysis-ready in < 5 minutes – no cold restarts between batches.
Vertical torch, dual view
Vertical torch prevents salt deposits, extends torch life and reduces consumables.
Axial view for lowest detection limits; the metal cooled cone removes the cool tail flame without a compressor.
Radial view avoids matrix interference; the observation height is adjustable to the emission zone of each element.
Intelligent attenuation in both views: concentrations up to 100× apart in one measurement.
Demountable torch: self-aligning mount; only the centre tube (0.75 / 1.5 / 2.0 / 3.0 mm) is changed per application.
Gas and liquid handling
Mass-flow control of plasma, auxiliary and nebulizer argon, 0.01 L/min resolution; up to 5 channels.
Argon on-line dilution (option): MFC-controlled aerosol dilution for samples above 10 % dissolved salts – no manual dilution.
Peristaltic pump: 12 rollers, 4 channels, 0–125 rpm, low pulsation; internal standard added on-line.
Standard kit: quartz concentric nebulizer, quartz cyclonic spray chamber, vertical quartz torch, connecting tube and 2.0 mm centre tube.
Typical argon use: approx. 13.7 L/min in analysis (12 + 1 + 0.7 L/min).
Argon consumption in analysis is a typical value from EXPEC application methods (RF 1150 W). Your method settings determine the actual consumption.

EXPEC 6500 ICP-OES · Technical SpecificationOptical system and ECCD detectorThe complete spectrum from 165 to 900 nm in one exposure, corrected in real time
Echelle optics
Fixed echelle system with no moving parts: 87 L/mm grating, 63.5° blaze, quartz prism cross-dispersion, 380 mm focal length.
Resolution ≤ 7 pm at 200 nm (FWHM) – separates line-rich matrices such as Fe, W and rare earths.
Stray light ≤ 2.0 mg/L (10 000 mg/L Ca, measured at As 188.980 nm).
Thermostatted at 36 ± 0.1 °C, sealed and thermally isolated; few reflections for high UV throughput.
Wavelength calibration without solutions: C, N and Ar lines at every ignition; the patented FSC system uses a neon reference line for real-time drift correction.
Deep-UV purge with argon below 189 nm – distributed purge design, no vacuum pump and no pump oil.
ECCD detector
1024 × 1024 pixels (≈ 1 million) on a 25.4 × 25.4 mm area; 24 × 24 µm pixels for high sensitivity.
Single exposure captures all lines – up to 72 elements in about 10 s, full spectrum stored with every result.
Pixel-level TEC cooling inside the sensor: no condensation, no gas purge, ready shortly after power-on.
Anti-blooming on every pixel: strong lines, including Ar lines at 800–900 nm, do not spill into neighbouring lines.
Intelligent integration: exposure time set per line from its intensity, microsecond control – bright and weak lines at best signal-to-noise in the same run.
No phosphor coating on the sensor – no UV-response loss from coating ageing.

How to read the table: instrument detection limits in µg/L, measured by EXPEC on the 6500 in axial and radial view with the standard quartz introduction system and optimised lines. Method detection limits in real samples are higher and depend on digestion, dilution and matrix. Axial view gives typically 3–20× lower limits; radial view is preferred for high-matrix samples and major elements. Deep-UV lines down to 165 nm also allow Cl and Br determination with dedicated methods.
