Simultaneous Multi-Element Analysis with High Resolution Continuum Source AAS

Analytik Jena (Germany) once more expands the range of applications of the revolutionary contrAA product series: Now the simultaneous analysis of several absorption lines in the measured spectral range is also possible. This offers great benefits especially in the relatively time-consuming graphite furnace technology, because several elements can be detected simultaneously using a single atomisation.

One application example is the simultaneous detection of Ni, Fe and V in waste water. Low vanadium concentrations in the µg/l range are detected in parallel to Ni and Fe concentrations in the mg/l range in process water. Using simultaneous measurement the sample throughput can be tripled. The unique three-dimensional spectrum representation supports users in the rapid optimisation of the atomising parameters without additional empirical intermediate steps.

Simultaneous multi-element analysis with the contrAA series offers: Increase of the sample throughput; Easy optimisation of methods; Savings in measuring time and sample volumes.
