No single sample type — whatever the client base sends, which changes daily.
The throughput-and-flexibility buying case, distinct from a captive industrial laboratory running the same matrix repeatedly.
BLADE is the primary recommendation for this industry. Its individual per-sample method programming handles a soil, a food sample and a pharmaceutical tablet in the same overnight run — at approximately 5 minutes per sample, with automated vessel loading and unloading that no legacy sequential system ever offered.
Mixed-matrix daily intake
BLADE's individual per-sample method programming handles a soil, a food sample and a pharmaceutical tablet in the same overnight run.
High-volume similar-matrix batches
MARS 6 for client work arriving in batches of comparable samples, e.g. twenty soil samples from one site.
Ashing/LOI for mixed sample types
Phoenix BLACK — rapid turnaround (weighing within a minute of removal) and energy savings across many different jobs.
