Thermo Fisher Thermo Scientific ARL iSpark Plus optical emission spectrometer range

The Thermo Fisher Thermo Scientific ARL iSpark Plus optical emission spectrometer range is designed to streamline elemental analysis in the metal production, processing and recycling industries, as well as in contract and research labs.

Suitable for metal producers, processors and recyclers as well as contract and research labs, the range combines state-of-the-art technologies, user-friendly features and advanced automation algorithms to enable the wide-range spectral analysis of metal samples and detection of non-metallic inclusions. An improved spark stand has been added to the line, which is designed to extend maintenance intervals by 30%, minimise signal drift for most elements and ensure virtually no memory effect from preceding samples. It also has seamless software and firmware interaction, cutting down on processing time by 15%.

The increased analytical speed and stability of the spectrometers allows steel plants and foundries to minimise tap to tap times, save energy and reduce carbon footprints.

The product features high sensitivity photomultiplier tube optics, digital spark generation, single spark acquisition, smart argon management, advanced data collection technologies and intelligent processing algorithms.
