THERMO Fisher Scientific introduces 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.
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. The ARL 3460 Advantage offers the same performance capabilities, particularly regarding detection limits, precision and accuracy, and uses the same PMT detectors.
The ARL 3460 Advantage is powered by Thermo Scientific OXSAS analytical software. OXSAS provides routine analysis launch and full traceability and allows users to run virtually unlimited analyses, including the development of new analytical methods and calibrations and quantitative analyses using tasks with analysis parameter templates. OXSAS features access to recent analyses results for on-screen comparison, a 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.
‘Key to Metals,’ the most comprehensive steel and nonferrous metals database worldwide, is included with OXSAS. It offers unlimited access to more than 3,400,000 records for chemical composition, properties and specifications for metals. This multilingual tool allows direct export of grade concentration data to OXSAS grade limits.
