Versatility
The right tool for the job – exactly.
Versatility for flame analysis
Match your workload against our range of autosamplers, and add auto-dilution to save
time and sample handling. Push down detection limits with the Slotted Tube Atom Trap,
or analyze difficult samples directly with segmented flow injection. Our new, high performance
universal 50 mm titanium burner is standard; a 100 mm version is also available.
Versatility for furnace analysis
The pre-aligned, integrated Graphite Furnace Atomizer and Autosampler measures huge
sample batches down to ppb concentrations. Select from a range of platforms and cuvettes
to optimize your analysis, or fit the ELC for cost-effective, long-unattended runs.
The GFTV option even lets you watch events inside the cuvette.
Versatility for vapor analysis
Add the Continuous Flow Vapor Generator for amazing detection of the arsenic group
elements – and the Electrically Heated Atom Cell to further improve stability and permit
unattended operation. There are even options to measure mercury in the ppt range.
