1 Increase your lab ROI Operating cost analysis Resource requirements

2 Things that affect lab instrumentation return on investment Upfront costs Instrumentation, accessories, and consumables Operating costs ongoing expenses associated with your analysis Speed per analysis (samples/min) Flexibility to handle all samples quickly Robustness of the system / Instrument downtime System diagnostics / serviceability Training requirements and method development Agilent Confidential July 19,

3 Top operating expense concerns and practical issues in the analytical lab Desire to reduce the overall cost of analysis due to rising costs (instrument supplies and consumables power, gas, etc) Expense or difficulty in sourcing gases especially in remote areas and some geographies Increase lab productivity quick method development, unattended operation, easy instrument monitoring, software designed for a variety of users

4 Reduce the cost of analysis - MP-AES Elimination of Ar, acetylene, and all other compressed gas cylinders 4200 MP-AES uses Nitrogen from the Agilent 4107 nitrogen generator with air compressor Simple and flexible hardware setup - reduce consumables needed Prealigned torch Sample intro system options EGCM for organics MSIS for hydride generation and low ppb detection of As, Se, or Hg Online cost estimator available at:

5 Reduce the cost of analysis - MP-AES Basic Cost Estimation applied to MP-AES Fruit Juice Application

6 Reduce the cost of analysis - ICP-OES Synchronous VDV with DSC creates speed only 1 sample read is necessary Lower power (2.9KVA) and lower exhaust requirements (2.5m 3 /min). Thermostatically stabilized optics with Vista Chip 2 CCD 27MHz Solid State RF Vertical torch has greater tolerance to complex matrix samples More items are customer maintainable Ar/min SVDV SVDVComp#1 8300DV 7600 Comp#2 SVDV Comp #1 Comp #2 USEPA (min) Ar L/sample Valve/No Valve Valve Valve Valve Ar/sample 5100 Optima icap SVDV SVDV Comp#1 8300DV 7600 Comp#2

7 Cost/difficulty sourcing and maintaining gases Argon prices and procurement Flammable gas procurement and storage Cylinder management Downtime associated with gas requirements Helium gas shortage for other analytical techniques He to H 2 conversion for GC

8 Increase productivity MP-AES MP-AES Hardware Easy fit torch Designed for unattended operation Robust torch and expanded application range MP-AES Software Applet quick start methods Auto optimization tools FLIC and IEC tools

9 Increase productivity ICP-OES ICP-OES Hardware quick setup, flexibility Easy Fit SVDV torch and SIS Different Gas control modules for flexibility Quick changes consumables - Pre optic window (axial and radial) - Optics gas filter MFC controlled make up gas for sheath gas torch or VGA77P Smart electronics for quick diagnostics and servicing ICP-OES Software Applet quick start methods Simple method development in SVDV mode PC controlled plasma gas flows (all MFC)

10 Increase productivity ICP-MS 7900 ICP-MS Hardware faster setup, switching, and analysis New ultra fast ORS 4 with less than 3 seconds switching time between modes New ISIS 3 for fast unattended start-up, autotune and sample delivery 7900 ICP-MS Software easier and more flexible operation New MassHunter 4.1 Improved user experience Method setup automation Common reporting engine with other platforms

11 Increase productivity ICP-MS ICP-MS MassHunter 4.1 New GUI easy to use gadgets Method Wizard have the software write a method for your! Mobile Device Support

12 Summary Increase your lab ROI Reduce cost per analysis Reduce or eliminate lab gas consumption Improve lab productivity using more capable software How does the cost to operate the 4200 MP-AES compare to other analytical methods?
