High-Performance Elemental Analysis for Multi-Element Laboratories

If your laboratory is battling rising argon costs or experiencing throughput bottlenecks with complex sample matrices, the PerkinElmer Optima 8300 ICP-OES offers a rugged, high-performance solution to drastically lower your operating overhead. Driven by innovative Flat Plate plasma technology, this advanced inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer replaces traditional helical induction coils with maintenance-free plates that reduce gas consumption by up to 50% while maintaining exceptional plasma stability. The system pairs a high-resolution solid-state CCD detector with simultaneous dual-viewing optics, allowing you to capture both axial and radial emissions in a single run for an incredibly wide linear dynamic range and low detection limits. It is a highly robust, cost-effective workhorse for high-throughput environmental labs analyzing trace metals in wastewater and soil, as well as pharmaceutical operations requiring uncompromising data integrity for USP <232>/<233> and ICH Q3D elemental impurity compliance.

Perkin Elmer Optima 8300 Price and Cost of Ownership: Reliable Performance at Lower Cost

The PerkinElmer Optima 8300 ICP-OES System provides a powerful and cost-effective solution for environmental, pharmaceutical, food safety, industrial, mining, and materials testing laboratories requiring high-throughput multi-element analysis. New systems typically range from approximately $98,000 to $117,000, depending on configuration, autosampler options, software packages, and accessories, while certified refurbished systems generally range from $30,000 to $38,000, offering substantial savings on initial capital investment. In addition to acquisition costs, laboratories should consider ongoing operational expenses such as argon gas consumption, sample introduction components, nebulizers, spray chambers, torch assemblies, pump tubing, calibration standards, preventive maintenance, software support, and compliance-related qualification services for EPA, USP, ISO, AOAC, and cGMP workflows. Long-term ownership considerations may also include RF generator maintenance, detector servicing, autosampler support, replacement electronic components, and optional service agreements to maintain analytical accuracy and dependable instrument uptime. Purchasing a certified refurbished PerkinElmer Optima 8300 ICP-OES System allows laboratories to significantly reduce ownership costs while still benefiting from rapid simultaneous multi-element analysis, robust plasma performance, excellent analytical reproducibility, and proven long-term reliability for routine and high-throughput elemental testing applications.

USP <232> and USP <233> Using the ICP Perkin Elmer Optima 8300

The PerkinElmer Optima 8300 ICP-OES System provides a robust and efficient platform for pharmaceutical laboratories performing elemental impurity testing in support of USP <232> (Elemental Impurities-Limits) and USP <233> (Elemental Impurities-Procedures). The system delivers rapid simultaneous multi-element analysis with excellent precision, wide dynamic range, and reliable analytical reproducibility, making it well-suited for the quantification of regulated elemental impurities in pharmaceutical ingredients, excipients, raw materials, and finished drug products. Its advanced optical design and stable plasma performance enable accurate measurement of elements such as arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, nickel, lead, and other specified impurities when method detection limits and target concentration ranges are appropriate for ICP-OES analysis. The Optima 8300 supports high-throughput pharmaceutical workflows through fast analysis times, automated sample handling compatibility, and dependable long-term instrument stability, helping laboratories improve productivity while maintaining data quality. Combined with strong matrix tolerance, efficient multi-element capability, and support for validated elemental impurity testing procedures, the PerkinElmer Optima 8300 ICP-OES System provides pharmaceutical laboratories with a reliable solution for USP <232> and USP <233> compliance workflows.
