Optical Emission Spectrometer (OES) Analytical Service

Overview

An Optical Emission Spectrometer (OES) is an analytical instrument used to determine the elemental composition of a sample by measuring the light emitted from excited atoms or ions. When a sample is energized, typically by an electrical spark or plasma source, it emits light at characteristic wavelengths. The spectrometer analyzes this emitted light to identify and quantify the elements present. OES is widely used in metallurgy, quality control, and environmental testing due to its high sensitivity and ability to rapidly analyze a broad range of elements.

Theoretically, Spark Optical Emission Spectrometer can measure the content of the following elements in Fe, Cu, Al, Ni, and Ti base metals:

Sample Requirement

• For powder samples, prepare approximately 20 mg; for bulk samples, the dimensions should be diameter <3 mm and height <3 mm. For liquid samples, please contact the local project manager.
• If the sample contains more than 10% of components like acid radicals, halogens, sulfur, or phosphorus, please contact the relevant supervisor to confirm feasibility.
• Currently, we do not accept energetic, flammable, or explosive samples.
