RockSteady^TM temperature stability

Our next generation OES-software, defines new standards in ease-of-use. Place your sample onto the spark stand and press the start button. In less than 30 seconds you get the complete composition of your metal and if needed the best match against the world’s reference alloy database.

2 optical Systems

Parallel MultiVision^TM

The parallel MultiVision^TM optical concept employs two high resolution optics simultaneously: one vacuum ultra violet (VUV) optic, and one visible light optic (UV/VIS). Each equipped with RockSteady^TM thermal stabilization and HighSense^TM detectors.

Q6 NEWTON – Build to Last

The Q6 NEWTON is the superior OES solution for metallurgists and technicians to analyze alloy composition of metals. HighSense^TM detection technology, SmartSpark^TM source, and RockSteady^TM, the active thermal stability control, are the key elements to achieve ultimate precision, speed, and reliability in metals analysis. One push of a SmartButton unleashes the power of the Q6 NEWTON and provides lightning-fast measurements, excellent precision and accuracy, combined with extremely low detection limits at 24/7 operation. The new Argon distribution system ensures the most stable and economical way to feed the two ArgonShield’s, the electrode co-axial flow, and the VUV-spectrometer. Intelligent Argon saving routines reduce gas consumption up to 40% compared to similar spectrometers. The low maintenance spark stand comes with a large and robust sample stage, making correct positioning of bulky samples easy, while an automated sample clamp ensures optimal sample contact and hassle-free operation without giving up flexibility.

What is your analytical challenge?

Iron & Steel

Processing steel requires precise and accurate results on incoming and outgoing materials over a wide variety of alloys, incl. N at trace level.
