How can you ensure the instrument you choose will meet your lab’s specific needs?

From monitoring heavy metals in environmental and food samples to determining the precious metal content of ore samples and measuring trace elements in high-purity chemicals, elemental analysis techniques are used in a wide range of applications, but often have very different technical requirements. The value of knowing you’ve got the right technique and the right instrument to meet your analytical needs both now and in the future is enormously comforting for a lab manager. The right instrument means you can easily analyze your samples and be confident in the results. The wrong one means you could spend a lot of time rerunning samples, outsourcing work, or struggling to get the sample throughput and detection limits you need. This series of free online forums will feature a panel of industry insiders and instrument experts who will discuss common application scenarios and the pros and cons of the different atomic spectroscopy techniques for each application.

In part two of this series on how to choose the best elemental analysis instrument for your lab, a panel of experts will provide guidance on how to evaluate instruments to ensure the model you choose will meet your lab’s needs. The panel will explain the most important features and analytical capabilities to check, as well as providing tips on how to plan an evaluation to ensure the instrument you install will perform as you expect.

Technology is continually improving, and analytical requirements and regulations evolve. Whether you are setting up a new analytical facility, adding to your existing capacity, or replacing outdated equipment, this forum will help ensure you select the instrument that’s best for your lab, now and for the future.
