Vacuum spectrometers are designed for rapid analysis of alloys based on iron, copper, aluminum and other metals in factory and research laboratories, including the determination of elements having analytical lines in the field of vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) (for example, S, P and C in steels).

A machine for the preparation of graphite electrodes Crater-2. Two types of cutters can be installed simultaneously in the machine, for example, on a crater and a cone.

Atomic Emission Complex "Grand Stream" is designed for rapid determination of the composition of powder samples of natural and industrial origin, includes a "Grand" spectrometer, a "Stream" installation and auxiliary equipment for sample preparation.

A device for preparing metal samples for spectral analysis. For the preparation of metal samples, an emery cloth or paper with a given size and abrasive material is used. The rotation speed is 1500 revolutions per minute. A quick stop of the motor is provided by an automatic control unit. There is a version in a housing made of composite materials with two discs, each can have its own type of abrasive.

MAES analyzers for recording atomic emission spectra with a time resolution of 1 ms are based on highly sensitive photodiodes and a special switching board for simultaneous reading of several sections of the spectra. The assembly of the rulers is installed on the "Grand" spectrometer. A " Flow" or twin-jet arc plasmatron is used to excite the atomic emission spectra of powder samples. The ATOM software registers the selected spectral lines and provides their processing according to the specified algorithms, taking into account the number and brightness of flashes (i.e. particle size). Recording the spectra of powder samples with a large time resolution makes it possible to estimate the number and size of individual particles, identify their composition and determine the concentrations of elements in each particle, promptly assess the uniformity of the distribution of certain elements to be determined and expand the possibilities of spectral analysis without significant changes in sample preparation. Main application areas: mass analysis of powder geological samples by scintillation to determine gold, silver, platinum group metals, iridium, rhodium, etc. with detection limits up to 0.01 g/t; qualitative determination of the composition of inclusions and mineral particles.

The flame spectrometer is designed for rapid determination of a wide range of concentrations (up to 8 orders of magnitude) of sodium, lithium, potassium, calcium, barium, caesium, rubidium in technological solutions. The excitation of atoms occurs in an air-acetylene flame. The device consists of a three-slit burner with flame control, a pneumatic sprayer, a spray chamber, an optical radiation input system into the "Hummingbird-2" spectrometer and an automatic air and acetylene supply system, with the possibility to control and adjust gas flow. The use of a three-slit burner provides increased flame temperature over the central slit of the burner due to the external flame layers. This makes it possible to determine low concentrations of calcium and barium. At the same time, it remains the possibility to determine impurities in highly concentrated solutions without clogging the burner slots. The lighting system of the spectrometer is mirror-lens, thanks to this, radiation collected from both sides of the burner is introduced into the polychromator.

During operation, the steam generator of metal samples "Aspect" provides control of all devices of the atomic emission spectral analysis complex - the MAES analyzer, the Ball Lightning generator, the inclusion of external devices; A spark unipolar discharge is excited between a tungsten counterelectrode and the surface of the test samples - ingots of precious metals or other metal samples; The intensity of erosion of the sample surface is regulated by changing the repetition frequency and power of spark pulses generated by a computer-controlled semiconductor spark generator; The stability and quality of the frisking is monitored using a built-in spectrometer via optical fiber; An adjustable flow of high-purity argon passes through the spark discharge zone in a sealed discharge chamber, picks up sample particles obtained by spark erosion of the surface and transfers them in the form of an aerosol to the area of the mixer/sprayer of the inductively coupled plasma torch of the optical emission spectrometer.; The flow of high-purity argon is supplied, controlled and regulated by a microprocessor-controlled mass flow controller in the range from 0.5 to 3 l/min. Feed stability 0.01 l/min.

The video camera and servos of the electrode holders built into the tripod are designed to automatically maintain the interelectrode gap during the evaporation of the sample by computer analysis in real time of the image of the arc discharge, as well as the initial setting of this gap relative to the optical axis. The electrode holders are cooled with water using a closed-cycle cooling unit.

The installation is designed to excite atomic emission spectra of powder samples in an electric arc by the spillage-injection method. It provides high performance of routine analyses, has a low consumption of graphite electrodes and is used in conjunction with any spectral devices – "Grand", STE-1, DFS-458, MFS-8, PGS-2, etc.

The dual-view plasma spectrometer can record any spectral line simultaneously at high resolution in the concentration range from fractions of ppb up to tens of percent and offers a wide range of options for any research task. Designed for the analysis of almost any type of environmental samples – water, soil, precipitation. Quick switching to work. It does not require a long warm-up. Low argon consumption. Easy to use.

The generator is designed to produce an electric arc and spark discharge in atomic emission spectral analysis installations. The generator is designed specifically for use in spectral analysis of samples of complex composition for simultaneous determination of impurity and alloying components in a wide range of concentrations.
