Thermo Fisher Scientific® elemental analyzer troubleshooting, service, parts and maintenance agreements
We support the following current and retired Thermo Fisher Scientific® models, including ARL models. Service plans for Thermo Fisher Scientific® elemental analyzers are available.
Thermo Fisher Scientific® ARL lab equipment we repair and support
Whether your Thermo Fisher Scientific is an optical emission spectroscopy (OES) instrument or a x-ray fluorescence spectrometer, the team at Compass Engineering has decades of experience supporting ARL lab equipment. From regular analyzer maintenance to emergency service, our experienced engineering team can help diagnose and repair your ARL equipment.
We are familiar with the analytical requirements of metals analysis and industrial labs. We know your team relies the equipment in your lab to keep business running. We have parts available – OEM, refurbished, or engineered to perform by our team (tested and guaranteed) – to support your equipment, even when the OEM no longer offers repair service. Our team can do on-line trouble shooting or on-site repairs. Let’s talk about what you need.
ARL® easySpark
Used for elemental analysis of iron and steel and other metals, the easySpark Metal Analyzer is a compact and affordable unit. The high cost of OEM service can quickly make “affordable” expensive – but with a Compass Engineering service contract you can stay on budget.
ARL® 8860 iSpark
This OES spectrometer offers analysis from trace to percent on all elements including non-metallic micro-inclusions. But running the high performance 8860 iSpark doesn’t need to mean high repair costs. You can minimize expenses with a Compass maintenance contract.
ARL® OPTIM’X
The ARL OPTIM’X WDXRF offers wavelength dispersive x-ray fluorescence and often comes preconfigured for the slags industry. Keeping your metals analyzer in precise working order is simple with Compass Engineering; our staff of trained experts offer fast repair service at below OEM pricing.
ARL® PERFORM’X
The ARL PERFORM’X Sequential XRF spectrometer is recommended for major, minor, and trace elemental analysis. It can evaluate up to 90 elements in nearly any solid or liquid sample. This kind of precision analysis requires regular maintenance; a Compass service contract can help you stay on budget.
Thermo Fisher Scientific® ARL analyzers
ARL® 9400
The ARL 9400 XRF spectrometer has been replaced in the sales line up by newer models but not in the lab! With a little bit of expert TLC, the Compass Engineering team can keep your 9400 running for years to come.
ARL® ADVANT’X
Part of the IntelliPower series of sequential x-ray fluorescence spectrometers, the ADVANT’X has a friction-free positioning system for speed, flexibility and reliability of analysis. The precision nature of the ADVANT’X requires expert service – which Compass’s experienced engineers can provide, while keeping your lab’s budget in place.
ARL® 9800 Oasis
Relied upon by the cement industry, the 9800 Oasis mid-power XRF spectrometer has been active in industrial labs for years – making OEM support more difficult. But you can keep your Oasis in service for years longer with regular maintenance and repair. The team at Compass Engineering has the expertise to help.
ARL® 3460
The legacy model ARL 3460 OES is commonly relied upon for quick and accurate metal analysis in labs across the US. Getting service support or regular maintenance with reliable and experienced engineers is just a phone call away.
ARL® 4460
The older model ARL 4460 OES set the benchmark for OES spectrometer performance in metal analysis, especially where lab conditions or environmental factors are a concern. This kind of reliability can be hard give up – but you don’t have to! The team at Compass can help you keep your ARL 4460 running.
