Solid AA combines graphite furnace AAS contrAA 800 (D/G) with high-resolution continuum source technique using solid autosampler SSA 600 for sample handing and weighing.

Raman spectroscopy offers sampling flexibility and can monitor changes in chemistry and crystallography during phase transitions.

FT-IR microscopy identifies unknown substances and contaminants based on molecular vibration to provide reliable, unambiguous indications of any contamination.

Peltier Cooled Cyclonic Spray Chamber Kit, compatible with Agilent® 7900 and 8900 and legacy Agilent® ICP-MS models, provides improved washout, increased sample throughput.

This study describes an automated procedure to quantify ultratrace elemental impurities in de-ionized (DI) water and H2O2 using an Agilent 8900 ICP-QQQ fitted with an ESI prepFAST S automated sample introduction system. The prepFAST S automates sample preparation and calibration, saving time and minimizing the risk of sample-contamination from manual sample handling operations.

LECO’s GDS instruments are ideal for investigating PVD coatings and the factors that determine their protection of substrate, as shown by this application note.

This study describes the generation of 3D images of pharmaceutical, biological, and geological samples using image stacking enabled by a highly confocal beam geometry.

Effectiveness of VC Ultra for automated cleaning of microwave digestion vessels following the digestion of a sample containing relatively high amounts of trace metals

Using excitation emission matrix spectroscopy, a photoluminescence spectrometer with InGaAs NIR camera, is used to identify the chiral indexes present in a SWCNT sample.

We introduce a very compact, air-cooled, pulsed laser and show it can be used successfully in conventional LIBS experimental set-ups for identifying metals.

Raman spectroscopy (including an Rxn2 analyzer and an Rxn-45 probe), powered by Kaiser Raman technology, used for advanced bioprocess control in the life science industry

Researchers using optical emission spectroscopy tested the degradation efficiency of different plasma-jet processes on solutions of the medication Valsartan.
