Optical Emission Spectrometry

OES analysis for metals and alloys

Optical emission spectrometry (OES) is an industry-standard technique for the elemental analysis of a range of metals and alloys. Perform rapid elemental analysis of solid metallic samples with OES using Arc/Spark excitation. This technique meets the most demanding analysis needs of the metals industry from production control to R&D, from incoming material inspection to scrap sorting.
