Reliable and Easy-to-use Atomic Absorption Spectrometer
One of the most commonly employed technique for detecting metals and metalloids in environmental samples is known as Atomic Absorption. This is one of the major reasons why the demand of an atomic absorption spectrometer is very high in the industry. Reliability and Ease of Use is a common factor in both the technique and the instrument. This technique is based on the already proven fact which says that ground metals absorb light at specific wavelengths.
Around 50 elements can be commonly identified with the help of an atomic absorption spectrometer. When this technique is employed with the help of an atomic absorption spectrometer, the liquid sample has to be aerosolized, aspirated, and mixed with flammable gases such as acetylene and nitrous oxide or acetylene and air. After this, the mixture is ignited with high temperatures that range from 2100 to 2800 degrees C.
As and when combustion occurs, the atoms of the sample element which is being detected by the atomic absorption is cut down to free and unexcited ground state atoms. The typical wavelengths of light that are absorbed by these atoms are specific to each element and he accuracy can come from 0.01 to 0.1nm. For the spectrometer to be able to afford such element specific wavelengths, a lamp that has its cathode made of the element under detection has to pass its beam through the flame. A photon multiplier then detects the quantity of light intensity reduction that happens because of analyte absorption. The result from this can in turn be directly related to the quantity of the element of concern in the sample.
The atomic absorption spectrometer is specifically designed to operate with a flame or a graphite furnace. The atomic absorption spectrometer with a graphite furnace is essentially attached with an auto sampler. The flame atomic absorption spectrometer is separated into six fundamental groups that has two major functions. The first is to generate atomic signals and the second is to process these signals. The signal processor is either included with the spectrometer or externally attached to it.
The best atomic absorption spectrometers are available with Aurora Biomed. The AI 500 Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometer is the ideal choice for economical and excellent performance element analysis. This easy to use instrument in fact meets the requirements of a wide across numerous sectors like Mining, Chemical, Pharmaceutical, Metallurgical, Agricultural, Energy, Utilities, and Manufacturing industries.
The classic capability of the AI 500 for a 2 mg/L Cu sample is 0.35 Abs. High precision elemental analysis is one major feature that this instrument offers. The best part of this atomic absorption spectrometer is that it is one of the most secure AAS systems available in the market. The major features of this system consists of a wide range of safety locks for the enhanced protection of the operator plus laboratory safety regulations. Other characteristics include automatic detection of burner head type, gas pressure and flame sensors, and the automatic shutdown of gases which is going to be very essential in case there is an interruption in power supply.
