The little giant
A brand new and completely innovative device that delivers reliable, high precision analysis for all.
The Q4 POLO is a spark spectrometer that is a real powerhouse in tiny form. Despite its size, it has outstanding results, precision even on light elements and cast iron. The absence of thermal nd contamination-based drifts reduces the need for cleaning and recalibrations, thus leading to stable results all year round.
The Q4 POLO will deliver when you need it, even from day one. This includes Nitrogen in low alloyed steels and oxygen in copper. What more can this little giant do?
- MultiVision™ optics with electromagnetic light junction covering the full elemental range with superior performance and small footprint
- AAC™ and ArgonShield™ result in incredible long-term stability without increasing argon gas consumption
- The new active sensing SmartSpark™ source is fully digital and equipped with detection of non-energetic discharges for increased precision and long-term stability
- ELEMENTAL.SUITE delivers highest functionality combined with ease-of-use for information @ your fingertips.
- Wavelength range of 130-785nm
Dimensions – 49 x 57 x 28.4 cm – 36kg)
