Q2 ION Ultra-Compact Metals Analyzer

19 kg True Portability

• The Q2 ION can easily be brought to a nearby site for analysis. Despite its low weight it is suitable for rugged environments.

The new generation of spark spectrometer Q2 ION elevates metal analysis into new levels of simplicity and ease-of-use. Today it is one of the smallest and lightest ultra-compact spark emission spectrometer for metal analysis available. It is a versatile multi-matrix system for comprehensive incoming material inspection and quality assurance of metal alloys. Its primary applications and metal matrices include copper, aluminum and iron at smaller foundries, inspection companies, metal recycling and metal fabricators. An affordable price and exceptional low operational costs make this spectrometer the ideal tool for smaller and medium-size businesses.
 

Why Do I Need A Compact Spark - OES?

• OES is the work horse in metal analysis par excellence. It gives you fast analysis of your solid metal samples including positive material identification, alloy grades and material sorting. The Q2 ION perfectly fits the requirements of foundries, fabricators, metal reyclers, warehouses and metal processing plants by combining ease-of-use with easy portabilty and low operation costs.

 

Key Benefits

• Dedicated Analytical Solution Packages (ASP) for your analytical tasks. ASPs for the Q2 ION are available per base and include elements and calibrations for all alloy groups. In no time at all, you receive reliable, complete analytical results.
• Patented flat field optics with AAC and array detectors with ClearSpectrum® technology provide maximum stability best-in-class analytical performance.
• Nearly maintenance-free spark stand with low argon consumption for lowest operational costs.
• ELEMENTAL.SUITE delivers highest functionality combined with ease-of-use for information @  your fingertips.
