Glow Discharge Spectrometry utilizes a low-pressure, non-thermal process in which material is uniformly sputtered from the sample surface by a stream of argon ions. The sputtered material is then atomized and excited in a low-pressure plasma discharge, away from the sample surface. The GDS850 focuses this technology to enhance your lab’s performance for both process control and research/development investigations. It delivers highly accurate bulk analysis as well as compositional depth profiling for coatings analysis and surface treatments. This instrument offers a spectral range from 120 to 800 nm and may be configured with up to 58 channels.
Separation of sputtering and excitation
Linear calibration curves with wide dynamic range
Lowered self-absorption and material re-deposition
Excitation of almost exclusively atom lines
Fewer and narrower emission lines reduce interference
Freedom from metallurgical history
Fewer standards required for calibration
Low argon gas consumption
Automatic cleaning between samples
