Latest comment
I've had the chance to test this device. It's really impressive.
Small footprint, no noise at all, no gas consumption, no chiller needed, no special power supply, reasonably fast analysis and extremely accurate data response.
It was introduced to speed up flame AA, but it rather seems a good Argon swallowing traditional ICP competitor.
