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
