Operational needs required precise and continuous adjustment of electrode position, minimal contamination risk, and suitability for routine use.", pages = "436-438", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/sas/sas/1975/00000029/00000005/art00015", doi = "doi:10.1366/000370275774455798", keyword = "Controlled atmosphere device, Spectrochemical analysis, Spectrochemical instrumentation" }
