About Thermo Jarrel Ash
The Jarrell-Ash Company was founded in Boston, Massachusetts in 1935 by J.O. Jarrell and his son Richard F. Jarrell, initially importing spectrographs and later designing its own grating instruments for customers including MIT and General Electric. The company merged with Fisher Scientific Corporation in 1968, became part of Allied Corporation in 1981, and was ultimately acquired by Thermo Electron, which formed Thermo Jarrell Ash Corporation and established its operations at 27 Forge Parkway in Franklin, Massachusetts. This lineage gave Thermo Jarrell Ash one of the deepest institutional histories in analytical spectroscopy.
Thermo Jarrell Ash built its reputation around a comprehensive line of atomic spectrometers for elemental analysis. Its flagship ICP-OES instruments include the IRIS series — the IRIS/AP, IRIS Advantage, and IRIS Intrepid — which offer simultaneous multi-element analysis using inductively coupled argon plasma sources. The ICAP line, including the ICAP 61E Trace Analyzer, provides simultaneous plasma emission analysis through a computer-controlled polychromator with up to 63 channels. The sequential AtomScan Advantage and AtomScan 16 round out the portfolio with galvanometer-driven grating systems covering 160 to 800 nm. The company also produced atomic absorption spectrometers and arc/spark emission spectrometers for solid sample analysis.
Thermo Jarrell Ash instruments serve a broad range of end markets that require precise trace elemental analysis. Environmental testing laboratories rely on these spectrometers for EPA-compliant metals analysis in water, soil, and air emissions. The metallurgical, petrochemical, geochemical, food and beverage, and agricultural industries all use Thermo Jarrell Ash ICP systems for quality control and research. Pharmaceutical and biomedical research facilities have also deployed the IRIS and AtomScan platforms for elemental characterization of compounds and materials.
Used Thermo Jarrell Ash spectrometers remain in strong demand on the secondary market because of their robust optical and mechanical construction, proven long-term stability, and the wide availability of replacement consumables such as torches, nebulizers, and graphite tubes. Laboratories seeking to expand ICP-OES or atomic absorption capability at a fraction of new-instrument cost frequently turn to used Thermo Jarrell Ash equipment, knowing that the instruments are well-documented, widely serviced by third-party specialists, and capable of meeting modern analytical performance requirements when properly maintained.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Thermo Jarrell Ash known for?
Thermo Jarrell Ash is best known for its inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometers (ICP-OES), including the widely used IRIS and ICAP instrument families. The company has roots going back to the Jarrell-Ash Company founded in 1935 and built a decades-long reputation for precise, reliable atomic spectrometers used in environmental, metallurgical, and research laboratories.
What industries use Thermo Jarrell Ash spectrometers?
Thermo Jarrell Ash ICP-OES and atomic absorption instruments are used across environmental testing, metallurgy, petrochemicals, geochemistry, food and beverage, agriculture, and pharmaceutical research. Environmental labs in particular rely on these instruments for EPA-compliant trace metals analysis in water, soil, and emissions samples.
Why do laboratories buy used Thermo Jarrell Ash equipment?
Used Thermo Jarrell Ash spectrometers offer proven analytical performance at significantly lower cost than new instruments, making them attractive for labs expanding ICP-OES or atomic absorption capacity on a budget. Their durable optical construction, thorough documentation, and wide third-party service support make them practical long-term investments even as pre-owned units.
