NEWS RELEASE: Three Metal Analysis Technologies Now Offered by Eastern Applied
Buffalo, NY – Organizations with metal analysis needs will now have a single source for multiple metal verification technologies. Already a distributor of Oxford Instruments x-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzers for coating thickness and elemental analysis needs, Eastern Applied Research is pleased to now offer the industry leading Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) and Optical Emission Spectroscopy (OES) technologies.
The three technologies offer different benefits to the primary alloy analysis needs of scrap metal sorting and positive material identification. Some users will benefit from the one second identification capabilities that LIBS technology offers, while others will want the elemental quantification and ease-of-use that XRF provide, and other users will look to OES technology to meet their light element quantification interests.
“We have been extremely pleased with the response our clients have had to the performance, reliability, and ease-of-use that the Oxford Instruments line provides,” said Shawn Kramer, Chief Executive Officer of Eastern Applied Research. “We are excited to expand our role with the line and expand the technologies that we can offer for metals testing.”
Both of the new technologies, LIBS and OES, are offered as portable metal analysis systems. The mPulse LIBS analyzer provides accurate alloy grading in a single second and is revolutionary in the fact that it is currently the only portable system based on LIBS technology. Oxford Instruments is also a leading provider of mobile OES technology, with their PMI-Master and Test-Master systems providing an industry leading price-to-performance ratio.
In addition to sales of metal analyzers, Eastern Applied Research provides over twenty years of experience offering service and support to spectrometer users. The organizations Western New York service center includes an accredited standards laboratory that provides certified reference materials and certification services.

In this Q&A, we provide an overview of what the latest “What’s Nu” covered, which includes new research in environmental analysis and clinical analysis.
How has spectroscopy training changed? A recent panel discussion explored this topic, discussing how SpecAcademy can widen access without losing the value of hands-on instruction.
How has spectroscopy education evolved over the years?
FT-IR spectroscopy, long treated as a mature bench technique for confirming a carbonyl stretch or fingerprinting a polymer, has quietly become one of chemistry’s most versatile discovery engines: it now infers molecular structure straight from a spectrum without a reference library, resolves chemistry tens of nanometers wide, and screens a fingerstick of blood for disease in minutes. The last five years of published research show FT-IR moving from a confirmatory tool into a predictive, autonomous, and field-ready analytical platform.
In this panel discussion, five SpecAcademy instructors examined why spectroscopy expertise has declined and how SpecAcademy aims to rebuild it through curated, fundamentals-based education suited to increasingly complex analytical work.
A recent roundtable discussion with the SpecAcademy instructors explored why spectroscopy expertise has eroded and how SpecAcademy aims to rebuild it.
The agreement gives North American customers a stocked, domestic source for InGaAs PIN photodiodes and avalanche photodiodes from the Scottish manufacturer.
