Ensuring optimal soil fertility is essential for maximizing crop yield and maintaining sustainable agricultural practices. This application report from SPECTRO Analytical Instruments demonstrates how the SPECTRO GENESIS ICP-OES with Dual Side-on Plasma Observation (DSOI) delivers fast, precise elemental analysis of plant-available substances in soils. By accurately determining key macro and micronutrients—such as phosphorus, potassium, boron, copper, magnesium, manganese, sodium, and zinc—in calcium chloride/DTPA and calcium acetate lactate extracts, laboratories can support compliance with fertilizer regulations and environmental standards while optimizing fertilization strategies.
The SPECTRO GENESIS ICP-OES system offers enhanced sensitivity, high matrix compatibility, and exceptional long-term stability. Its Intelligent Valve System (IVS) significantly reduces rinse and sample-to-sample times, improving throughput during peak testing periods. With low detection limits and high recovery rates, the system ensures reliable and reproducible results, even under demanding conditions. The report also highlights the system’s ability to maintain performance over extended analysis periods, making it ideal for high-volume contract laboratories.
Key Benefits:
- Achieve precise and rapid elemental analysis of essential soil nutrients
- Reduce operational costs through minimized sample volumes, reduced waste, and accelerated sample-to-sample times.
- Ensure compliance with DIN ISO/IEC 17025 and EU-GAP standards
