ARTUS 8 is a high-performance OES solution designed for advanced applications requiring maximum precision and low detection limits. MERLIN offers a flexible, cost-effective solution for routine metal analysis across a wide range of industries. The ARTUS 8 is designed to deliver stable results in high throughput environments, with its two optic configuration offering the capability to detect more element and lower limits of detection. The MERLIN 4 is a cost-effective solution for routine metal analysis and grade identification across a range of industries, favouring compact design with a single optic configuration for the most efficient delivery.

White burns mean poor argon/sample preparation.

Yes, advanced models such as CALIBUS 5 are capable of measuring carbon in ferrous materials, allowing for accurate steel grade identification and improved quality control.

Before the sample is too thin or beyond its useful life to use for the re-standardisation procedure; a replacement should be ordered. Contact servicesupport@aruntechnology.com.

CALIBUS 3 and CALIBUS AL do not require argon, while CALIBUS 5 uses argon to enhance accuracy and analytical performance.

Analysis is typically completed in around 4 seconds, making CALIBUS ideal for high-throughput environments such as scrap yards and production facilities.

CALIBUS is widely used across scrap metal recycling, metal processing, automotive, aerospace, petrochemical, and manufacturing industries for fast alloy identification and material verification.

LIBS is best suited for fast, portable, on-site metal analysis, while OES is designed for high-precision elemental analysis in production or laboratory settings

The system requires 20-30 minutes to stabilise the temperature controlled optical chambers, but once it is warmed up the battery can last for 6-8 hours, meaning the CALIBUS can be relied on to deliver throughout the day.

Maintaining a stable optical chamber temperature (typically 36–38°C) ensures consistent and reliable analytical performance.

High-purity argon (99.999%) is required for analysis.

ARUN Technology spark OES instruments are provided as standard with an annual kit of consumables, meaning you have all the brushes, filters, and electrodes to cover operational needs. The annual service offered by ARUN replaces all consumable parts such as o-rings, dust filters, and optical windows to ensure continued high performance.
