OPTICAL EMISSION SPECTROMETRY (OES) Q4 POLO BRUKER
Compact multi-chip Spark Spectrometer
The Q4 POLO incorporates numerous advancements to provide a spark spectrometer that is unparalleled. In addition to excellent analytical performance for a wide range of elements, the Q4 POLO enables applications that were previously not addressable by such compact instruments :
- Outstanding precision, especially with light parts.
- Excellent results in the complex examination of cast iron
- Reliable analysis of nitrogen at low ppm values in low-alloyed steels
- Analysis of oxygen in copper.
WHY SHOULD YOU NEED Q4 POLO OES ?
OES gives you an ultrafast analysis of your solid metal sample without complications. All relevant elements are simultaniously determined.
BENEFITS
- MultiVision™ optics use an electromagnetic light connection to cover the entire elemental range, providing excellent performance and a minimal footprint.
- AAC™ and ArgonShield™ provide superior long-term stability without increasing argon gas use.
- The new SmartSpark™ source is totally digital and detects non-energetic discharges for improved precision and stability
- (ELEMENTAL).SUITE provides the finest functionality paired with ease of use, putting information at your fingertips
Iron and Steel
Processing steel necessitates precise and accurate findings on incoming and exiting materials across a wide range of alloys, including N at the trace level.
Aluminum
Mastering aluminum's phosophorous and alkali content.
Copper
The foundation of many different kinds of alloys is copper. All of them, including oxygen determination, are covered in the Q4 POLO.
