According to Thermo Electron, the ARL 3460 ’has become a benchmark for metals analysis with customers regularly purchasing or upgrading to new models, a testament to their trust in the instrument’s quality and reliability’€™. Continued technological innovations and refinements have driven customer demand and the instrument’€™s longevity, it adds.

At launch, it revolutionised the way analyses were performed and has since provided customers with expert design and manufacture. Also, it has been kept abreast of latest technological improvements.
Thermo was recently presented with two Omega NorthFace ScoreBoard awards for excellence in customer service. According to the company, this award-winning customer service coupled with expert technical support has also helped ensure that customers are able to adapt and exploit the ARL 3460’€™s capabilities to their best advantage.
