Let’s face it, having to remeasure samples is really annoying. Even just trawling through hundreds of results to find the problematic ones is painful. And then there’s the cleaning and parts replacement you are required to do. To help you out, we’ve added smarts to our instruments. Then we got our ICP-OES chemists to make six short videos while they were at home in isolation. The videos show how the instrument smarts can be used to reduce the boring bits of ICP-OES. Enjoy!
