Spectrographic analysis is radically different from the usual wet chemical method. The sample, as a solid, liquid, or powder, is fired and the light spectrum produced is photographed on a film or plate, which provides a permanent record of the elements, qualitatively and quantitatively.
This method has several unique advantages. The most important is that qualitatively, 72 of the 100 odd elements can be determined
simultaneously. Two photographic spectrographs are used for qualitative and quantitative analysis of metals and non-metals.
Our advanced equipment allows us to offer our customers the fastest, most accurate and economical chemical analysis on samples suitable for instrument analysis.
Testing Available:
- Qualitative Examination
- Any material; all detected elements (cations) are reported with a tenfold concentration estimate and will provide a general overall survey of an unknown specimen
- Requires only 0.001 grams of a material
- Semi-Qualitative Analysis
- All detected elements (cations) are reported with a specific concentrational value that should be within a factor of two of the quantitative analysis
- Alloy Identification
- spectrographic classification of unknown materials giving ASTM, SAE, AISI, ect designation
- Solder Analysis
- quantitative analysis of Tin plus semi-quantitative analysis for possible contaminants
