An atomic emission spectrometer offering both spark and arc excitation, letting a single bench cover conductive alloys and the more awkward sample forms that spark excitation alone cannot hold.
Key features
- Compact designed desktop unit.
- Energy saving, standby power 100VA, no vaccum pump.
- Full wavelength coverage, customized factory calibration, adding new element without further hardware configuration.
Applications
Built for metals testing and alloy certification laboratories.
- fast and accurate quantitative analysis near the furnace
- metal material quality control
- scientific research
Choosing the right configuration
Match the sample matrix and target elements to the required detection limits, sample-introduction hardware, gas supply, exhaust, cooling, and data-system configuration. ConductScience confirms these items against the proposed method before the system is quoted.

What does this instrument measure, and who is it for?
It measures the elemental composition of conductive alloys under either spark or arc excitation. It is built for metals testing and alloy certification laboratories. It is a benchtop instrument intended for continuous laboratory duty, with a plumbed gas supply and extraction over the source.
What measurement principle does it use?
Spark excitation suits conductive alloys; arc excitation reaches sample forms a spark cannot hold. Both feed the same optical bench.
Which specifications are confirmed?
The specification table lists twelve confirmed ordering parameters for this instrument. Use them to compare the operating range, utilities, and analytical performance required by the method. They include Wavelength Range at 140nm~680nm, Frequency at 100Hz~1000Hz and Maximum Discharge Current at 400 A.
What should be confirmed before ordering?
Confirm argon supply and purity, exhaust extraction over the torch or spark stand, single-phase power and breaker rating, bench load rating, and cooling water where the design requires it. These are configured and quoted per installation, so raise anything unusual about the site during quote review rather than after delivery.
What else is needed to run it?
A microwave digestion system, unless your samples already arrive in solution. Elemental analysis is only as good as the dissolution that preceded it, and an incomplete digest reports a low result with no indication that anything went wrong.
How is it supplied?
This instrument is configured and quoted per installation rather than sold at a list price. Request a quote and we will confirm the configuration, the site requirements and the lead time before anything is ordered.
