Use of laser spectroscopy for tritium enrichment determination in water samples
22 Jul 2026ABB’s GLA431 Series water isotope analyzers use OA-ICOS laser spectroscopy to measure deuterium enrichment in environmental water samples, enabling a faster alternative to traditional tritium analysis methods. Discover how by replacing the Spike Proxy Method with the Deuterium Method, laboratories can eliminate the need for tritium spike standards, reduce sample preparation steps, and improve throughput.
Studies from the IAEA demonstrated that this approach delivers accuracy comparable to conventional methods while providing quicker feedback on enrichment performance and overall laboratory efficiency.

Environmental Monitoring and TestingEnvironmental monitoring and testing uses handheld portable analyzers, kits, spectrometers or chromatography systems for air, water, soil, food and other sample testing. Useful features of analyzers such as BOD and COD include portability, easy calibration, automation and sensitivity. Environmental test kits for pH, water, moisture, etc, should be accurate, sensitive, reliable, fast and easy to use.Water AnalysisAnalytical methods used to test the purity of drinking water include determining the level of contaminants abides to the level set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).Environmental AnalysisEnvironmental analysis describes a variety of tests that determine the effect of chemicals, processes and particulates such as persistent organic pollutants (POPs) have on the environment.SpectroscopySpectroscopy 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.
