(OP)
We are looking to replace our aging spectrometer (spectro OES) and before just blindly buying the latest spectro model I would see what else is out there. I thought this would be the perfect place to get some opinions from those who actually use different models on a daily basis. We are a steel foundry making plain carbon steel, martensitic and austenitic stainless steels and nickel base alloys. We have LECO carbon/sulfur and oxygen/nitrogen analyzers so accuracy of these is not important. I have used the new spectro bench-top OES and liked it. I have used the LECO OES and was not impressed but that was about 4 years ago. Are there any other manufacturers that I should take a look at? Are there manufacturers that you have used their product and would not purchase again?
Thank you for any guidance.

Experience - previously melting cobalt, nickel, monel, tool steel, and stainless steel mater alloys for foundries via induction furnace - equipment Panalytical XRF, Quantris CCD OES, ARL 3460 OES, Leco C/S and N/O. Currently at a steel mill melting tool steels, stainless steels (all grades), and low alloy steels. Primary equipment for analysis includes Lecos for C, S, O, & N, Thermo-Electron Fisher XRF's for primary analysis and an older Leco GDS for trace elements.

I am in the market for a spectro as well, I had questions about the CCD vs PMT technology, and there's little to distinguish and address any reliability concerns between the two technologies except marketing fluff.
