“The newest model of TIDAS instruments is being put through rigorous evaluation and constant use. The upgrades to the software and automatic draw-down device have made this newest member of the TIDAS family an indispensable must have.
The results obtained from the TIDAS instruments have made it easy to show our customers the reality of lab grind analysis without putting on a lab coat, for this we are grateful.
Thanks to the Labman team for the great support and superb customer service. The transition from installation to full practice was a snap.” — Jose AbrantesTechnical Market Manager
