Do you have a HORIBA ICP-OES spectrometer with NEO software and wonder whether training is worthwhile? Find out more in this article!
The ICP Neo software was designed to simplify every step of your ICP-OES workflow: from method development and sample measurement to results management. Compatible with the latest Microsoft platforms, it provides powerful tools to optimize analyses, including an integrated HDD mode for standard measurements. ICP NEO software also incorporates advanced quality control protocols and retrospective analysis functions, while ensuring the integrity of raw data. This approach meets Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) requirements and provides you with a reliable and modern environment for ICP-OES spectrometry.
By training on the NEO software, you will discover much more than just a tool for managing your analyses: you will learn how to fully exploit the potential of your HORIBA Ultima spectrometer.
First, you will gain autonomy in developing methods. You will be able to develop your own methods, thanks to intuitive features such as the visual display of the S3 database for selecting interference-free lines, or the exclusive HDD mode, which eliminates the need to optimize high voltage.
Next, you will be able to optimize your measurements and improve reliability. You will be able to configure measurement parameters (Gaussian, Maximum, Average), choose between several calibration modes, and chain your analyses together thanks to intelligent sequence management. The SmartRinse function will automatically ensure effective rinsing between samples, for consistently reliable results.
In addition, you will strengthen the quality control of your analyses. Training will enable you to implement QC protocols that comply with the most demanding standards, including US EPA standards. You will also learn how to automate actions in the event of out-of-specification results, such as stopping the analysis, recalibrating, or repeating from the last valid QC.
Manage, rework, and leverage your results with training on NEO software. You will learn how to archive your data, reprocess your results with preserving the raw data integrity, and customize your reports (logo, instrument name, choice of displayed information). Exporting to your LIMS or printing reports will become quick and easy operations.
Training on the NEO software will simplify the daily use of your instrument. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced user, you will benefit from a clear interface: contextual toolbar, customizable window display, multi-user management, configurable maintenance alerts... all features that make use smooth and secure.
