Frequently Asked Questions
Technical information
The EMIA-Step replaces the induction EMIA?
Not for every workflow. The feature is particularly useful when the method requires temperature control and separation.
Can you separate organic and inorganic carbon?
It can support this differentiation by thermal windows, provided that the method is developed and validated for the matrix.
What's the maximum temperature?
The reference specification of the equipment indicates up to 1450 °C.
