No compromise: high resolution optical system for probably widest element range (even N, Li, Na), all elements necessary for a complete metal analysis on the spot are available
Unique new iCAL 2.0 one sample standardization helps maintain the same standardization – regardless of most temperature shifts and saves on average 30 minutes per day
Flexible point-and-shoot analysis with various quick to change sample probes, battery powered operation – up to 800 measurements on a single charge


The SPECTROTEST is a mobile arc spark spectrometer ideal for many applications in the metal producing, processing, and recycling industries. This mobile metal analyzer flaunts its superior performance especially when exact metal analysis is required, when materials are difficult to identify or when there is a large number of samples to be tested.

The new readout system and iCAL 2.0 diagnostics software upgraded the SPECTROTEST and allows users perform a single-sample standardization (in less than 5 minutes) at the start of the day’s testing and the iCAL diagnostics now helps to maintain the same standardization, regardless of most temperature shifts.

The complex arc spark spectrometer design offers many ergonomic advantages for safe and fatigue-free onsite operation. The light, thin probe is quickly converted between arc excitation and spark excitation (arc spark OES). A probe with an integrated UV optic is available for special measuring applications; it can also be utilized with arc excitation.

This arc spark spectrometer is even able to identify low alloy steel with the carbon content during the rapid arc excitation mode. In spark mode, the SPECTROTEST’s analysis of carbon phosphorous and sulfur are potential applications in addition to the identification of duplex steels using the nitrogen content.

Unlike handheld XRF, accurately analyzes elements like C, P, S, B, Li, Be, Ca, Si, Mg and Al even at low and critical levels, in only a maximum of 10s
Consistent results with unique new iCAL 2.0 one sample standardization combined with self-adjusting optical system – resilient to ambient temperature changes and saves on average 30 minutes per day
Effortless point-and-shoot analysis, battery powered operation – up to 800 measurements on a single charge

When handhelds aren’t enough, the amazing new SPECTROPORT portable metal analyzer applies more advanced OES technology — in a unit as easy to use as a handheld analyzer. SPECTROPORT delivers many advantages of SPECTRO’s portable OES flagship, SPECTROTEST, in a smaller, lighter package. It accurately analyzes elements such as carbon, sulfur, phosphorus, and boron. It’s as fast as an XRF, with many analyses taking only a few seconds. And it enables effortless point-and-shoot performance, to minimize operator intervention and decision-making.

It adds the convenience and simplicity of the best handheld analyzers to the accuracy and wide analytical range of SPECTRO’s renowned OES technology. You get fast, ready response; flexible portability; intuitive ease of use; and minimal standardization efforts.

Predefined calibration packages and the new SPECTRO exclusive iCAL 2.0 calibration logic system eliminate repeated calibrations and delays. Perform a single-sample standardization (less than 5 minutes) at the start of the day’s testing and you’re all set. Your iCAL diagnostics ensure stable performance throughout a typical day. And now iCAL 2.0 helps maintain the same standardization — regardless of most temperature shifts.

Robust tool, analyzes most alloys in 2 seconds, and identifies alloys containing light elements in 7 seconds, standard calibration captures alloys and precious metals for 16 matrices with 46 elements
Instrument usually ready to measure within 10 seconds after switching on, offers simultaneous result storage in various formats at different destinations (USB drive, network, or printer)
Compliance testing and quick screening of non-metallic samples. Video-camera for exact sample positioning and documentation of measured spot.
