What Does GDS Stand For?
GDS stands for Glow Discharge Spectrometer
The Glow Discharge Spectrometer (GDS) is an analytical instrument used primarily for the elemental analysis of solid materials. It operates by generating a glow discharge plasma, which allows for the excitation of atoms in a sample. The emitted light is then analyzed to determine the composition and concentration of various elements present. GDS is valued for its high sensitivity, precision, and ability to detect trace elements, making it an essential tool in fields such as materials science, metallurgy, and environmental monitoring.
