Stationary Metal Analyzer Ultimate performance for the

next generation of metal analysis
SPECTROLAB
HIGH-PERFORMANCE ARC/SPARK OPTICAL
EMISSION SPECTROMETRY (OES) ANALYZERS

The new standard of excellence

for research and process control

The new generation of SPECTROLAB OES analyzers delivers the greatest

innovation in elemental analysis yet. Stability, flexibility, and analytical
functionality combine in a high-performance package that other spectrometer
manufacturers can’t match. The hybrid PMT/CCD analyzer sets a new standard
for R&D and process/quality control. SPECTRO has spent more than 30 years
developing the world’s leading OES instruments. A host of improvements,
enhancements, and groundbreaking technological innovations make its new
spectrometer the ideal analytical answer for primary metal producers and oth-
er critical applications. Today, when time, precision, and flexibility are critical,
choose SPECTROLAB.

Standard-setting technology
SPECTROLAB established new benchmarks with the
introduction of a pioneering hybrid PMT/CCD
optical system in 2007. SPECTRO has continuously
improved both technologies since.

An innovative optical approaches

The third-generation hybrid SPECTROLAB model offers excellent optical performance
for metals industry applications. It provides outstanding precision, flexibility, and stability
for specialized R&D laboratories. It’s especially suitable for routine analysis in process
control, for monitoring predetermined specifications during quality control, for conduct-
ing special assignments in research and development as well as many other applica-
tions in the metal producing, processing and recycling industries. And SPECTROLAB’s
patented* capability to determine carbon content in nodular cast iron minimizes the
need for costly combustion analyzers.

Superior user experience
Clearly intuitive operation
The unit’s new Spark Analyzer Pro software presents a revolutionary new level of
operator interface simplicity. The program includes straightforward,
self-explanatory icons and a familiar, ergonomic approach with little learning
curve. Only authorized users can access the method development / knowledge
base module for more complex tasks.

Efficient diagnostics, timely reminders, M2M

SPECTROLAB maximizes instrument availability with a new, improved diagnostic system. Enabled
by automatic logging and monitoring features, handy maintenance reminders can flag everything
from optical system pressure and temperature to voltage supply, and more. Optional machine-to-
machine (M2M) remote diagnosis makes possible fast, responsive issue resolution.

Ultra-flexible configuration
When specifications change or new elements must be measured, traditional spectrometers
demand physical alterations to their detectors — an expensive and time-consuming proposition.
So new configurations can often be activated via software alone. It’s another way SPECTROLAB
delivers unheard-of flexibility.
