Boulder, Colo (PRWEB) July 25, 2004 -- Analytical Spectral Devices (ASD), manufacturer of rapid, precision analytical and quality control instruments reports its award-winning LabSpec® Pro has been selected by the National Archives (Washington D.C.) for use in analysis and identification of archival materials. The portable LabSpec® Pro is being used at document locations to determine types and quality of various glues, resins, and plastic laminates used in the preservation of old documents.

Portability was a key requirement of the National Archives since transportation of documents to traditional laboratories is not feasible. The LabSpec® Pro is also used to determine the percent of bonded moisture in documents.
