GDA 650 HR

 With the development of the GDA 650 HR the evolution of CCD glow discharge analyzers has reached the next level.

The GDA 650 HR uses the latest CCD technology in optics, which combines high resolution and sensitivity. By using the direct light path without transmission losses best detection limits are guaranteed. It is the ideal solution for customers who want precision and flexibility.

To avoid hydrocarbon contamination the GDA 650 HR is equipped with a scroll pump. Using the inbuilt DC & RF Glow Discharge source, the GDA 650 HR is excelled in analyzing non-conductive materials such as ceramics, glass and paint layers, using the standard lamp set or a specially designed version for the universal sample unit (USU).

The instrument can be used e.g. for the following applications:

• to analyze incoming base material
• for depth profile in the production area
• to inspect surfaces after diffusion processes
• to examine galvanic coating processes
• to analyze hard material coatings via PVD or CVD
• to assess hot dip galvanizing as well as other kinds of galvanizing
• to determine the elemental concentration in layers and bulk material
• to analyze CIGS thin film solar cells
• to analyze light elements, such as O, C, N and H
• to analyze non-flat surfaces, such as pipes or spheres by using the USU

Due to the simple device operation and high speed of an analysis cycle it is possible to intervene quickly in the production process to correct any possible errors - a decisive advantage over conventional methods like metallographic investigations which need relatively long preparation time.
