Import Tips

Specify detection wavelength range (165-800nm) and plasma excitation proving optical emission chemical analysis function

RF generator and nebulizer components should not trigger separate Chapter 85 electrical apparatus classification

Wastewater testing units require EPA method compliance docs; pitfall is incomplete system description
