Decision structure
How to define the configuration
The selection should consider the complete analytical flow, not just the detector.
Set the analytical objective
Identify analytes, matrix, concentration range and information that should be obtained.
Choose the analytical route
Match sample preparation and introduction with the measurement technique and infrastructure requirements.
Configure the system
Evaluate automation, throughput, calibration, consumables, training and support.
Request technical information
Report matrix, analytes, expected range and sample routine for an initial technical evaluation.
