List of labs using AA, ICP, ICP-MS

Hi
My thesis speaks about the lab instrument marketplace so I looking for a list of Labs in US which use Atomic absorption, inductively coupled plasma, mass spectroscopy instruments...

So if you have a list of these labs, It would be very helpful.

Thank you so much .

This is the kind of mailing list that most vendors would love to have, and they pay money for fragments of it; and few of the names on the list want to be on the list. So good luck, Francois :-)

Francois,

Maybe you are barking up the wrong tree by going to fin.com

Why don't you use your Yellow Pages and go to Lab consultants, for instance.

And to make your thesis useful, show an adjustable A.A. hoodlet (using 304 or 316 s.s.) ... and at the top of the room, i.e., away from the hoodlet, consider using PVC ducting to keep the costs down. Show also the airflow, normally 300 cfm.

The A.A. may hit 4,000 °C core temperature but it is an infinitesimal size ... just like a cigarette is supposed to have a core temperature of 2,000 °r;C. Hence PVC is OK.
