Ultra-Fast Determination of Trace Elements in Water, Conforming to US EPA 200.7 Using the Agilent 5100 SVDV ICP-OES
The productivity demands of environmental labs working to EPA methodology such as 200.7 for the determination of metals and trace elements in water, solids and biosolids are met using synchronous dual view ICP-OES. The instrumentation achieves an excellent sample-to-sample cycle time of 58 seconds. This enables more samples to be measured each day and reduces argon consumption per sample by 50% per sample.

LIBS Illuminates the Hidden Health Risks of Indoor Welding and Soldering
April 23rd 2025A new dual-spectroscopy approach reveals real-time pollution threats in indoor workspaces. Chinese researchers have pioneered the use of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and aerosol mass spectrometry to uncover and monitor harmful heavy metal and dust emissions from soldering and welding in real-time. These complementary tools offer a fast, accurate means to evaluate air quality threats in industrial and indoor environments—where people spend most of their time.
