Why Use Spark OES Analysis?
•Most widely used, reliable and reproducible metal analysis technique.
•Wide choice of instruments.
•Excellent LOD
•CCD based spectrometers allow a high number of elements and bases.
•Detection of N is possible with high end portable and high end laboratory spectrometers.
•Detection of O is possible with high end laboratory spectrometers.
