Thermo Electron Introduces the ARL QUANTRIS for Excellence in Metals Analysis



Winsford, CHESHIRE, England and ORLANDO, Fla. (April 11, 2003) - For some years now, Arc/Spark Optical Emission spectrometers have come in two basic configurations. The conventional PMT systems offered the ultimate analytical performance, but lacked some flexibility and could be relatively expensive for more complex configurations. The more recent CCD-based instruments were often benchtop and lower priced, but lacked the analytical performance required for many tasks in today's metals-analysis laboratory.

Now, Thermo Electron Corporation (NYSE: TMO), the long-time market leader in Arc/Spark systems, introduces a new concept for cost-effective metals analysis, the ARL QUANTRIS. In removing the need to choose between performance, flexibility, and cost of ownership, this product brings many benefits to the modern metals-analysis laboratory:

o State-of-the-art, second-generation, CCD-based system for analytical performance at the level of PMT spectrometers. Keeps your metals analysis in spec - even for challenging applications.

o Rugged spectrometer construction and vacuum environment for ultimate analytical stability. Have confidence in your data, without wasting time on excessive stability checks.

o Powerful and user-friendly software for rapid commissioning and optimum ease of use. Pre-calibrated systems, easy installation, and simple operation mean instrument operators have time for other important tasks.

o Total flexibility for changing analytical requirements without need for expensive mechanical re-builds. As demands on production change ever more rapidly, be ready to meet the new requirements quickly and cost effectively.
