Q6 COLUMBUS – Top Performance Benchtop OES Metals Analyzer

Q6 COLUMBUS really opens up a whole new world in optical spark spectroscopy. Astoundingly low limits of detection, remarkably reduced measurement times, top reproducibility, as well as the Windows-XP based QMatrix software are only some examples of Q6 COLUMBUS’ revolutionary high technology.

Positioned as a mid-range machine, the Q6 COLUMBUS is the ideal tool for all dedicated metal analysis demands. Thanks to its optical resolution and the modern channel photomulitplier detectors, it offers an analytical performance that is much superior to similarly priced and sized CCD systems.

From single ppm to percentage levels, Q6 COLUMBUS is top in precision and accuracy. The best spark spectrometers use vacuum - and so does Q6 COLUMBUS. Best transparency and stability are the reasons. Our users in foundries and other metal manufacturing and processing industries, expect quick and easy use, and simple and low maintenance. Every spectrometer is a capital investment. But even the surprising cost/performance ratio of Q6 COLUMBUS should not distract your attention from the low total cost of ownership: photomultiplier systems are famous for their long lifetime, surviving many other instrument technologies; the vacuum optic causes only little maintenance costs compared to filled or flushed systems; ArgonStop© helps you to reduce the consumption costs by up to 70% compared to conventional systems; for many applications argon 4.8 quality is sufficient and less expensive. Q6 COLUMBUS opens the opportunity to small and mid-size companies allowing cost efficient in-house analytical capability.

Q6 COLUMBUS - first choice from both, the analytical and economical perspective.
