Glow Discharge Source Advantages
Simple, linear calibrations when compared to other sources
Controlled excitation that occurs away from the sample surface
Reduced reference material consumption
Detection System Advantages
The inherent sensitivity, dynamic range and linearity of CCD detectors coupled with the GD source ensures stability, flexibility, and performance for all bulk elemental applications
Full wavelength coverage from 160 nm to 460 nm
50 pm (0.050 nm) resolution to differentiate even the most complex features of bulk spectra
System Level User Advantages
Very easy to operate, maintain, and service
Automatic cleaning between samples saves time, minimizes matrix effects for increased precision
Open lamp design and ambidextrous controls allow both right and left hand operation
