SPE-if metal.ID - Application

Integrated metal.ID spectroscopy enables conducts parts and components cleanliness testing as well as identifies contaminating particles larger than 20 µm in industrial applications such as hydraulics, surface, and plating industries.
Particle samples are collected on standard Cellulose Nitrate, similar filter papers, or filtr.AID patches. Analysis reports, including all raw data, are stored in compliance with 21 CFR Part 11.
