2. Using the Pseudo-Elements Feature

Encountering criteria which consist of combinations of various elements is common in certain industries. Examples include geologic ratios of elements or threshold levels for the sum of toxic elements. Traditionally, it would have been necessary to calculate these values manually using measured chemistry. The Vanta analyzer enables users to create ‘pseudo-elements’ which automatically calculate and display these criteria along with normal chemistry measurements.
