In many cases, conventional ICP-OES spectrometers have significant drawbacks and incur considerable costs. These are often rooted in the instrument design and result in poorer performance, lower sensitivity and stability, failures, loss of productivity and higher operating costs. The latest generation of systems offer better performance and deliver consistent, fast and accurate analysis at a significantly lower cost. The new ICP-OES from SPECTRO Analytical Instruments is a good example of this. Five reasons to upgrade to a next generation analyzer.
