HORIBA Scientific provides efficient sample preparation for accurate results

Before analysing samples, laboratories have to prepare them by doing grinding, fusion, digestion, dilution. This important step called Sample Preparation can have an impact on the final analytical result.

Whatever your analytical solutions among ICP-OES, ICP-MS, AA, XRF, elemental analysers… HORIBA Scientific can provide you lots of sample preparation devices such as:

Digestion Station - Vulcan
