• Must include Method Development assistance

• Reprocessing must allow method parameters to be changed after data collection to determine if the changes are appropriate for samples without changing original data.

• The instrument software must have inter-element correction model builder. That allows the analyst create models from stored data and allows the analysts to test these models without having to analyze the samples and standards over and over.

• Multivariate calibration capability with Multi Component Spectral Fitting (MSF) allowing the user to choose up to nine interferences to correct for.

• Must be able to perform methods of standard additions calculations.

• Must have weight/volume/dilution correction factors with user definable concentration unit conversion for samples, calibration solutions, and QC solutions.

• Instrument must include autosampler, computer hardware and software, and printer. The instrument must include separate chilled water recirculator (separate chiller allows for placement away from the instrument to reduce noise in the working environment, separate chiller eliminates the potential for a leak to occur in the instrument, causing a safety hazard).

o A copy of the method is saved with each set of data to provide an audit trail of the conditions used to perform the analyses in the event there is a question at a later time.

o Reprocessing does not change the data already stored, but rather new data is written to the results library along with a notation that the data represent reprocessed data.

o Reprint Original Data function. Allows users to create a verbatim copy of their original printout. This is ideal for regulatory environments (or other audit situations) when data needs to be presented exactly the same o Detailed version of calibration summary. This provides specifics about a calibration including "expected concentrations" vs. "measured concentrations". This allows analysts to ensure the accuracy of their calibration and the quality/validity of their results.
