Description: The equipment features dual viewing modes (radial and axial) in the same analysis, which reduces measurement times and sample volume consumption. It also enables the simultaneous detection of major and minor elements (%, ppm, or ppb).

It features various intelligent algorithms such as FBC, which provides automatic noise correction, FACT\IEC, which enables resolutions below 2 pm, and IntelliQuant, which simultaneously captures the entire wavelength range of a sample and provides qualitative information on the relative concentration of up to 70 elements.

Applications:

Inorganic analysis of elements in an acidic medium, directly or by dilution of samples of different types.

  • Environment: Drinking water quality, toxic waste characterization, water pollution, air pollution control, soil characterization, contaminant speciation.
  • Energy: Analysis of solid and liquid fuels, elemental analysis of combustion products, isotopic depletion/enrichment control, impurity control in nuclear fuels.
  • Chemistry: Raw material characterization, quality control of finished products, fine chemicals, purity of high-value-added products.
  • Geology: Quantitative and semi-quantitative measurements, lanthanide and actinidium analysis, surface distribution maps, isotopic ratios, characterization of rocks, minerals, and sediments.
  • Food science and technology: Raw material control, contamination and toxicity control, elemental migration from packaging, quality control of manufactured products.
