that could cover a broader range of compounds and detection levels using just one instrument, and the
Thermo Scientific instrument gives us this capability. The detection ranges and stability of the detectors
is great. Along with the instrument comes support that we have not seen the likes of for a very long time.
EST Analytical, the US Distributor for Thermo Scientific has been very responsive in catering to our needs.”
