How big must the sample be for Optical Emission Spectroscopy?
Ideally the sample should be at least 1 square and 0.050 thick to prevent leaking of light and gas from the aperture during excitation and to prevent the sample from melting during excitation. Top How much weight do I need for Inductively-Coupled Plasma Atomic Emissions Spectroscopy (ICP) The required weight will depend on the sample and material being tested. Generally, TCR material testing laboratory in Navi Mumbai India likes to have at least 5 grams of material for analysis. Whenever possible, more is better, to have extra material for rechecks if a material is found to be out of specification, or for resampling if a problem is encountered during sample preparation.
