Thermo Fisher Scientific Introduces New Metals Analyser


Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc (Ecublens, Switzerland) has just announced that it has introduced the Thermo Scientific ARL 3460 Advantage metals analyser. An extension of the Thermo Scientific optical emission spectrometers portfolio, the ARL 3460 Advantage features four configurations specifically designed for the analysis of cast iron, steel and aluminium samples, addressing the analytical requirements of foundries and metals processing companies. Calibrated in the factory, the analyser is claimed to provide an immediate, accurate, cost effective and high performance turnkey solution, which is ready to analyse samples from installation.

With an installed base of more than 5,000 units worldwide, the ARL 3460 is recognised for its excellent stability, reliability, repeatability and long lifetime, says the company. The cost effective ARL 3460 Advantage offers the same high performance capabilities, particularly regarding detection limits, precision and accuracy. It uses the same high-tech, powerful PMT detectors as the ARL 3460 and can be delivered very rapidly.

The ARL 3460 Advantage is powered by Thermo Scientific OXSAS analytical software, which is designed to meet the specific needs of users in the metals industry. OXSAS provides simple one-click routine analysis launch and full traceability and allows users to run virtually unlimited analyses, including the development of new analytical methods and calibrations, rapid high quality routine analyses and quantitative analyses using tasks with analysis parameter templates. This easy-to-use, comprehensive solution features access to recent analyses results for on-screen comparison, a simple graphic user interface and triple navigation style including menu, tree and icon views to accommodate individual preferences. Additionally, OXSAS analytical software provides access to various functional levels through password-protected user accounts allowing for secure operation.
