SPECTRO Analytical UK will showcase the new SPECTROBLUE TI inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES) at Lab Innovations 2013 (6 - 7 November 2013, National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham, UK).
This innovative system extends the company’s SPECTROBLUE ICP-OES product line, offering automatic dual plasma observation. This optimizes linearity and dynamic range, while enabling high-sensitivity measurement of toxic elements, which makes it especially suitable for environmental analyses. While matrix effects are drastically reduced, it can accurately determine levels of alkali/earth alkali elements in complex alkali matrices....
The iQ II EDXRF Spectrometer from SPECTRO Analytical gives precise, accurate results for low sulphur content analysis of fuels.
EDXRF analysis is widely used in this application, but the evolving regulatory environment requires constant development and advances in detection sensitivity. This is achieved in the iQ II through the use of polarised excitation. The instrument’s outstanding detection limit of ≤ 0.5 mg/kg sulphur and its compliance to EN ISO 13032 means it delivers reliable analysis of even sulphur-free fuels, placing it at the forefront of commercial benchtop EDXRF systems...
