AELAB 8 Lamps Turret Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer A3 Series
Features & Functions:
+ PC System is used to control the instrument. Preinstalled AA-Win 3.0 software, user manuals, cook book and Windows operating system.
+ AA-Win 3.0 software provides full control of the instrument and autosampler with easy method change for each technique.
+ Automatic 8 Hollow Cathode lamp turret controlled and optimised by the AA-Win 3.0 software. Operating lamp current and warm-up lamp current can be individually controlled to eliminate drift commonly associated with lamp warming.
+ D2 lamp background correction system fitted as standard to all configurations. High energy D2 lamp and adjustable beam splitter mirror are optimised by the AA-Win 3.0 software.
+ Self Reversal background correction system fitted as standard to all configurations. The high performance background system uses the same hollow cathode lamp as installed for the analysis. Minimum extra components are required and optical alignment is very simple. Self Reversal can be used for any element at any wavelength making it extremely versatile.
+ High precision minimal optics ensures maximum light throughput to the computer controlled Czerny-Turner monochromator.
+ A universal autosampler is available as an optional accessory which is conveniently mounted on the front of the A3 instrument.
+ Absorption and Emission modes are standard features in the AA-Win3.0 software as well as peak height, peak area, sequential and manual integration modes.
Air/Acetylene+ The Air/Acetylene flame uses a 100mm single slot burner for the standard configuration.
+ The high sensitivity (Cu 2ppm >0.280abs) is due to the efficiency of the fixed position glass nebuliser fitted as standard. An acid resistant replacement is available as an option.
+ The flame can be easily set from blue lean flame through stoichiometric to fuel rich by means of computer control.
N2O/Acetylene+ The N2O/Acetylene flame uses a 50mm single slot burn- er and is available as an optional extra.
+ This flame configuration is used to measure elements less prone to ionization such as: Aluminium, Tin, Titanium, Calcium, Vanadium and Molybdenum.
+ Switching from Air/Acetylene to N2O/Acetylene to Flame Off is fully controlled by the AAWin3.0 software.
Air/Propane(LPG)+ This flame uses a 3 slot burner and with the Iowpressure requirement it is also much safer to operate.
+ Due to the Iow temperature of the flame it is ideal for analysing alkali metals such as: Potassium, Sodium and Lithium, especially when used in the emission mode.
+ Some remote areas of the world have difficulty obtaining Acetylene gas of a high enough purity to operate the flame correctly, LPG can give a real alternative and offer comparable results for most elements throughout the wavelength range.
