Spark OES metals analyzer

Spark emission spectroscopy provides the fastest, simplest and most cost effective technique for the routine analysis of both alloying and trace elements in metals for foundries, manufacturers and contract laboratories. The new MOA IV spark emission spectrometer has been designed to provide the best accuracy and precision for the analysis of aluminum, brass, bronze, cast iron, cobalt, copper, lead, magnesium, mild steel, nickel, stainless steel, solder, tin, titanium and zinc alloys on the same instrument for every element.

Optical emission spectrometer (OES)

The revolutionary design of the instrument provides full wavelength coverage from the deep ultraviolet to the near infrared using state of the art CCD detectors and multiple spectrometers within the optics cabinet. MOA IV is filled with inert gas which is scrubbed and recycled, eliminating the need for expensive and noisy vacuum pumps.
