1. Commercial appliances
The nature of the spark emission spectrometers on offer means that a wide range of problems can be solved. Central or research laboratories are often equipped with complex, complete systems, while product inspection on a stockyard may be carried out with a backpack. Between these extremes, there's a range of products to suit every need.
1.1 Fixed-mount devices
These instruments are used in central analysis laboratories, metal production sites, foundries and, since the development of quality assurance, also by metal processors. To optimize equipment operation and result quality, spectrometers are installed in specially adapted environments. Air conditioning is recommended, despite the frequent thermostatting of the spectrometer itself. To facilitate maintenance,...

Cost of equipment
Depending on the laboratory's analytical needs, the cost of purchasing a spectrometer can vary considerably, as the purchase price depends on the number of analytical lines. It is therefore preferable to set a price range for a spectrometer equipped with 20 fixed channels and a single spark excitation source. So-called low-end equipment with a limited number of 20 or so elements ranges from 45 to 75 kE, while the upper...
