ContrAA spectrometers

Therefore, whether for routine analysis or specialised investigations, it is extremely important that the instrument is well-designed, highly efficient and accurate.This is precisely what the Analytik Jena GmbH+Co. KG ContrAA series (800 F, 800 G, 800 D) instruments offer.This series of instruments offers unique advantages over traditional AAS systems thanks to the use of a continuous light source (xenon lamp), a CCD detector and high-resolution optics.Thanks to these design features, the contrAA 800 atomic absorption spectrometers combine the advantages of the atomic absorption method with those of inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry.

Advantages

• Rapid sequential and parallel multi-element analysis;
• High-resolution optics, enabling low noise levels and, consequently, low detection limits;
• Excellent accuracy in obtaining and interpreting results thanks to the high-resolution spectrum;
• The ability to obtain a 3D spectrum allows for the maximum amount of information to be extracted from even the most complex samples;
• Extended measurement range for elements spanning up to 5 orders of magnitude;
• High data processing speed;
• Ease of data acquisition. The use of a xenon lamp to generate a continuous, full spectrum significantly simplifies the analysis of any element at any wavelength;
• Ease of maintenance. There is no need to replace or adjust the element lamps on the atomic absorption spectrometer in this series of instruments;
• Additional automated switching of the sample atomisation mode makes the instrument easier to operate;
• Ease of use. Working with this highly sensitive instrument and its control software is considerably simpler than, for example, with an ICP-MS.
• Low running costs. Unlike the ICP-OES method, the proposed instrument does not require argon to generate an inductively coupled plasma, which significantly reduces your analysis costs. As only a single lamp is required to determine all elements, the operating costs for the lamp are also lower than when using a set of hollow-cathode lamps in traditional AAS systems.
