Precise analysis of cobalt and titanium alloys
Thermo Electron Corporation's ARL Quantris is the first instrument of its type to achieve the performance of traditional photomultiplier tube instruments.
CCD OES Spectrometer Supports The Copper Matrix
Thermo Electron Corporation second generation CCD-based instrument, the ARL QUANTRIS, can now support copper base applications.
The analysis of major elements is a key factor in the nickel matrix, as their precise and accurate determination allows considerable savings on this very expensive matrix element.
The ARL Quantris is the first CCD-based instrument for analytical performance at the level of Photo-Multiplier Tubes (PMT) spectrometers.
The reproducibility and accuracy achieved on all major elements - Cobalt (Co), Chromium (Cr), Copper (Cu), Iron (Fe), Molybdenum (Mo) and Tungsten (W) - are even superior to those of equivalent conventional PMT-based instruments.
Excellent detection limits and reproducibility are also achieved on traces and on undesirable elements such as Aluminum (Al), Carbon (C), magnesium (Mg), Manganese (Mn), Silicon (Si) and Titanium (Ti) present in alloys.
Not only does this mean that the ARL Quantris is extremely accurate, but the instrument also enjoys excellent stability and autonomy.
Drift corrections and other maintenance operations are only required once a week ensuring operation costs are fully maximized.
The number of ARL Quantris installations is growing, particularly in the USA, Japan and Germany.
The feedback received from customers is very positive as they experience analytical results far superior to their expectations.
To date, no instruments have incurred any operational defaults since their installation, and many have already been in use for more than a year.
The ARL Quantris was originally launched in spring 2003 and in addition to the new nickel matrix, it also supports the iron, aluminum and copper matrices.
