We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Samples",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Alloy analysers are on special offer from
Niton UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "A hand-held instrument that uses X-ray fluorescence to provide rapid, laboratory quality readouts of alloy composition, is currently available at a limited special offer of 30% off the list
price".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Press shop benefits from work returning to UK from
Ladbrook Engineering: "Subcontract sheet metal press shop, Ladbrook Engineering, said 2007 was one of its best years, gaining work that had previously been contrac ted out to the Far East".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Metrohm UK
concerning its Automated electroless nickel baths
- take a look at Analysing electroless nickel plating baths
which says: "Automated on-line analysis system performs all liquid handling steps such as taking sample aliquots, dosing of reagents, titration and cleaning".
Take a look also at the news release from Lloyd Instruments, Self-aligning compression jig tests plastics pipe,
as well as Floorcoverings reduce operators' standing fatigue from Plastic Extruders,
and Alloy analyser used in recycled SS production from Niton UK.
