Spark-OES Analysis
At BES Group, we offer cutting-edge Spark Optical Emission Spectroscopy (Spark-OES) analysis services to meet your elemental analysis needs with precision and reliability.
Spark-OES analysis is a powerful technique used for elemental analysis of solid metallic samples. It involves the generation of a spark discharge between an electrode and the sample surface, which excites the atoms in the sample. As the excited atoms return to their ground state, they emit characteristic wavelengths of light, which are then analysed to determine the elemental composition of the sample.
Our fully equipped laboratory and experienced team ensure accurate results for a wide range of sample types and industries. Whether you require routine quality control testing, research and development support, or specialized analytical services, we are here to assist you.
