or sent remotely to
other devices

The intuitive user interface and numerous customer-driven

features make analysis work easy and simple. Just place the
sample on the sample stand, start the measurement and read
the result.

The FOUNDRY-MASTER PRO generates quantitative

analyses of materials. The analysis results are displayed on
screen and can be stored in an internal database for material
validation purposes. The analysis data can also be exported
to an external PC with productivity tools, which enables
certificates to be easily created and printed.

The FOUNDRY-MASTER PRO comes with factory calibration

based on available certified reference materials. In addition, the
instrument’s software allows the calibration and element ranges
to expanded using customer samples without difficulties. In this
regard, even very specific calibration needs can be met.

Advanced FOUNDRY-MASTER PRO software

Thanks to a unique WASLab and familiar Windows®-based
software, any operator can routinely produce stable, reliable
measurement results with the FOUNDRY-MASTER PRO.

The software is specifically designed to run on CCD spectrometers,

and provides all of the functions required for calibration,
standardisation, analysis, and reporting.

• Extensive calibration program

• Matrix dilution calculation
• Additive and multiplicative inter-element corrections
• Automatic prompting for calibration and control samples
• Automatic spectral line switching
• Type standardisation
• Global or partial standardisation
• 1- or 2-point standardisation
