Regarding the establishment of the instrumental analysis laboratory?
Thread Content
Dear fellow sailors, what instruments are needed to set up a laboratory for instrumental analytical chemistry? I only need to analyze the elements in steel! I think a carbon-sulfur analyzer and ICP are needed, as well as some other instruments. I would appreciate it if everyone could share their suggestions. Thank you!
Which elements are tested? What is the required precision of the instrument? First, determine what instruments are needed, estimate the size of the laboratory, consider the requirements of those instruments in terms of water, electricity, and other facilities, and figure out the most logical, convenient, and safe way to arrange the space.
The most commonly used equipment and instruments include temperature-controlled electric furnaces, electric heating water distillers, spectrophotometers, and constant-temperature drying ovens
I mainly want to test the conventional elements in steel; the concentrations of these elements are not high. What instruments are needed in conjunction with ICP? Things like balances and beakers, for example. What else is required? Please help me out with more information. Thank you
Determine which instruments are needed based on the analysis criteria you have in mind, and you can also visit the relevant manufacturers
Reply to 4# zq1981: Basic equipment and instruments need to be installed in the laboratory. For ICP, attention should be paid to the gas supply system; compressed air may be required in some cases； The processing of samples may require a filtration device; consider microwave digestion.
We mainly analyze the five major conventional elements (C, Mn, Si, S, P, Cr, Ni, Mo, V). I have a spectrometer at home, but it’s not a desktop model; the results are unstable and reports cannot be generated
