Savillex Corporation has been manufacturing fluoropolymer laboratory products since 1976 and has unmatched expertise in the molding and machining of PFA. All our design, tooling, molding, manufacturing, and testing is done in-house, giving us complete control of product quality. Our products are widely used in trace metals analysis-from sample collection through to ICP sample introduction.
The sample introduction system is a critical component of both ICP-OES and ICP-MS instrumentation. The design of the sample introduction system affects all aspects of performance, including sensitivity, stability, washout, matrix tolerance, and also oxide level and isotope ratio precision in ICP-MS. Also, the cleanliness of the materials that come into contact with the sample directly impact the quality of the analytical blank. Our ICP sample introduction products are manufactured using the highest purity grades of PFA resin. With over 35 years experience in fluoropolymer molding and unmatched expertise in the design and molding of PFA components, Savillex is bringing new products and capabilities to ICP-MS and ICP-OES, including the world's first blow molded PFA cyclonic spray chamber.
Savillex sample introduction systems are used across a wide range of ICP-MS and ICP-OES applications including semiconductor, geochemistry, pharmaceutical, environmental, biomedical, and petrochemical.
Based in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, we serve thousands of customers in over 60 countries worldwide through our partners and distributors.
Improving Fluorescence and Raman Techniques for Environmental Microplastic Analysis
March 31st 2025A recent study conducted at the LaserLaB Amsterdam and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (the Netherlands) explored spectroscopic imaging techniques, including Raman and fluorescence microscopy, for characterizing microplastics (MPs), focusing on optimizing sample preparation, particularly density separation, and Nile Red staining.Spectroscopy spoke to Merel Konings, corresponding author of the paper resulting from the study, about her work
