Experience of using atomic-emission spectrometers with MAÉS in an accredited laboratory

Abstract

A system of the set rules, procedures and regulatory documents is developed in the Central Analytical Laboratory of the JSC «EZ OCM» for the method of atomic emission spectral analysis of precious metals with arc excitation of the spectrum to meet all the requirements of the accrediting body «Rosakkreditatsiya». The features of managing the measuring instruments — spectrometers with MAÉS analyzers, auxiliary equipment and microclimate are considered. The requirements to the personnel of the laboratory for spectral analysis are considered. The rules for developing measurement procedures, instructions for laboratory technicians, measuring programs, methods for performing routine analysis of the samples, and ensuring the traceability of measurement results are specified. The availability of using «ATOM3.3» software for solving everyday problems of the laboratory is shown.
