The spectrometer is capable of measuring the concentration of metals present in the sample, also determining the molecular form in which they are found and their oxidation state. It is easily transportable and requires no sample preparation. Currently, analytical techniques for measuring metal concentrations in food liquids require lengthy and laborious sample preparation and the use of bulky instrumentation, therefore they can only be performed by specialized technicians in adequately equipped laboratories.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=&#8221;4791&#8243;
