New State of the Art Equipment Installed at Sheffield Assay Office

The installation of a 3rd ICP-OES instrument was recently completed here at Sheffield Assay Office.

We would like to say a huge thank you to engineer James from Agilent and our senior analyst Edwin for completing the installation of this 5800 series instrument in a thorough and timely fashion.

This new acquisition will not only increase the capability of our current limits of detection but also reinforce the capacity to meet fast turnaround requests. We are delighted to be able to meet the demands of our highly valued customers who require analysis of precious and non-precious metal alloys.
