What other says about Ablatom
We consider Ablatom as part of our scientific research programmes for the chemical mapping of biological samples embedded in epoxy resin and/or paraffin. The results provided are innovative and complementary to the current technologies used in the laboratory allowing us to detect and visualize the distribution of a large number of endogenous and exogenous chemical elements within biological tissues. The quality and efficiency of the analysis and expertise services have enabled us to increase the degree of information and to understand our samples and the associated mechanisms at a competitive cost and within a very short timeframe.

ABLATOM allowed us to easily get new potential for the characterization of heterogeneous catalysts by LIBS on confidential projects. The LIBS imaging system used by ABLATOM help us to find the elemental distribution of several elements with a good sensitivity at a competitive cost. Beyond the analytical performance, Ablatom’s team was reactive and was able to carry out feasibility studies as well as routine analysis with a fixed protocol. From acquisition to data processing and reporting. The analytical performance of LIBS will become crucial for us as in imaging method for trace elements in materials.
