Spectro Analytical Instruments has introduced its new SpectroLAB S LAS02 high-end arc/spark OES metal analyser for process control and research applications

The SpectroLAB S LAS02 is designed to deliver the fastest possible measurements, greatest throughput, lowest limits of detection, longest uptime, and most future-proof flexibility

The new SpectroLAB S LAS02 features proprietary CMOS+T technology to identify and measure, with high accuracy and precision, all elements in incoming, in-production and out-going materials as well as in researching new materials. The new analyser is ideal for primary and secondary metal producers, automotive and aerospace manufacturers, and makers of finished and semi-finished goods

Continuously improved by customer input and rigorous usability testing, the new SpectroLAB S LAS02 features proprietary CMOS+T technology to identify and measure, with high accuracy and precision, all elements in incoming, in-production and out-going materials as well as in researching new materials. The new analyser is ideal for primary and secondary metal producers, automotive and aerospace manufacturers, and makers of finished and semi-finished goods.

Innovations of the new SpectroLAB S LAS02 include:

• Two dedicated optics to ensure optimum resolution of challenging analytical lines. Each features CMOS detectors, temperature stabilisation, and pressure compensation.
• A powerful LDMOS plasma generator and ignition board that produces a stable spark and ultra-short measurement times. Examples: less than 20 seconds for low-alloy steel and under 12 seconds for main alloying elements in materials like iron, aluminium, or copper.
• A tunable argon system for unique flow savings that cuts consumption by up to 50% in standby mode and by 13% when measuring samples, further enhancing the analyser’s affordable cost of ownership.
• A low-maintenance spark stand to ensure long uptime between cleanings – which is critical for high-throughput automation systems.
• An innovative GigE rapid readout system for extremely high processing speeds for maximum data throughput and support of the analyser’s outstanding analytical performance.
• Ultra-low limits of detection, previously attainable only with PMT detectors, that outperform previous models with 30% lower LODs for many trace elements in high-purity copper.
• Intuitive, fully customisable state-of-the-art Spark Analyser Pro software that improves and extends operational efficiency, functionality, analytical performance, flexibility, and ease of use.
• Fast and cost-efficient setup requiring only five minutes and a single sample with Spectro’s proprietary iCAL 2.0 standardisation.

In addition, Amecare Performance Services maximise uptime for all Spectro world-class elemental analysers, including the new SpectroLAB S LAS02. Hundreds of experienced service engineers in 50 countries provide high-value, customised support to ensure optimum performance and the longest possible equipment life.
