Rigaku Analytical Devices, Inc. a leader in handheld and portable spectroscopic analyzers, has announced a new partnership with Metal Analysis Group. Metal Analysis Group is a premier analytical consulting firm with expertise in elemental analysis for metal production, fabrication, positive material identification (PMI), metal recycling, and testing markets.

Based in Houston, TX, the consulting firm, with its team of scientists and engineers spread throughout North America, will support the Rigaku KT Series laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) product sales and support in the USA, Canada, and Mexico. The partnership couples Rigaku Analytical Devices’ state of the art handheld technologies, with Metal Analysis Group’s value added programs:

  • Affordable lease and rent-to-own plans
  • Industry-leading product and application support
  • Convenient regional support

“Metal Analysis Group will be a great resource for our customers and a welcome addition to the Rigaku Analytical Devices organization,” said David Mercuro, Sales Director at Rigaku Analytical Devices.

Atomic Absorption / Emission SpectroscopyAtomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and atomic emission spectroscopy (AES) — also called optical emission spectroscopy (OES) — are used to detect the elemental constituents in samples. Both techniques involve the atomization of a sample. Atomic absorption spectrometers may use a flame or furnace to create an atomic vapor of the sample before irradiation with spectral light. Optical emission spectrometers may use a flame, inductively coupled plasma (ICP), microwave plasma (MP) or spark arcs to atomize and excite the sample. At higher excitation energies, electrons can be emitted instead of photons, which can be useful for samples that can’t be atomized and for surface analysis. Explore electron spectroscopy equipment such as Auger spectrometers and photoelectron spectrometers for surface elemental analysis of samples. Find the best atomic absorption, photoelectron and optical emission spectrometers in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.CollaborationSpectroscopySpectroscopy is a technique that analyzes the interaction of light with matter to study molecular properties, concentrations, and structural information. Widely used in chemical, pharmaceutical, and environmental analysis, spectroscopy offers insights into molecular composition and helps identify unknown compounds. It plays a key role in quality control, research, and diagnostics. Browse our peer-reviewed product directory to compare spectroscopy tools, read reviews, and get prices directly from manufacturers.
