Product Description	A3AFG -The instrument is equipped with both Flame Atomiser and Graphite Atomiser as described above. Both configurations are installed into the instrument and can be changed over by a simple selection in the versatile AA- Win 3.0 software.
Features	◆AAWin software AAWin Software is a powerful and intuitive software product designed to allow control and data acquisition from the A3 series Atomic Absorption Spectrometer. The AAWin software allows the Analyst to control all aspects of their analytical method whilst providing an extensive range of tools for data collection, storage, and interpretation.◆Light source Automatic 8 Hollow Cathode lamp turret controlled and optimized by the AAWin software. Operating lamp current and warm-up lamp current can be individually controlled to eliminate drift commonly associated with lamp warming.◆Background correction D2 lamp background correction system fitted as standard to all configurations. High energy D2 lamp and adjustable beam splitter mirror are optimized 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. ◆Optical system High precision minimal optics ensures maximum light throughput to the computer-controlled Czerny-Turner monochromator. ◆Autosampler An optional accessory, the universal autosampler, is conveniently mounted on the front of the A3 instrument. It automatically introduces standard and unknown samples to the atomizer for analysis.. ◆Flame mode The flame atomizer offers three flame options. All three flame configurations offer coded burner for full safety protection. Air/Acetylene: The high sensitivity (Cu 2ppm >0.280abs) is due to the efficiency of the fixed position glass nebulizer 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: This flame configuration is used to measure elements less prone to ionization such as: Aluminum, 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) Due to the Iow temperature of the flame it is ideal for analyzing 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. ◆Graphite furnace temperature control The temperature of the transversely heated graphite tube is accurately controlled by means of a precision feedback system and has been designed to reduce analytical problems normally associated with this type of technique. ◆Graphite tube Pyrolytically coated graphite tubes are used as standard and are manufactured to improve performance as well as increase the analytical life. Platform graphite tubes are supplied as standard and will accept volumes up to 50ul. Non-platform graphite tubes are also available as an optional extra. ◆Safety features Pressure monitoring for all gases Burner Identification Flame sensor Drain trap level sensor Gas leak detector Over pressure in premix Safety cut off switch Water flow senor Over temperature sensor Broken graphite tube protection
Principle	The analysis of metallic elements is conducted based on the absorption of characteristic radiation by atomic vapor in its ground state. This method can sensitively and reliably determine trace or trace elements. Elements are atomized by heating in a flame or a thermal decomposition graphite furnace, forming atomic vapor in its ground state. This vapor selectively absorbs the characteristic radiation emitted by a hollow cathode lamp. Within a certain concentration range, the absorption intensity is directly proportional to the content of the measured element in the test solution. The quantitative relationship can be described by the Lambert-Beer law, A = -log(I/Io) = -log(T) = KC, where I is the intensity of transmitted light, Io is the intensity of emitted light, T is the transmittance, L is the optical path length through the atomizer (which is fixed for each instrument), and C is the concentration of the sample being measured. Therefore, A = KC. The device used to measure the absorbance of atomic vapor through the resonance radiation of the element being measured is called an atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Its basic structure includes a light source, an atomizer, an optical system, and a detection system. It is mainly used for the analysis of trace elements and impurities, and has the two major advantages of high sensitivity and good selectivity. It is widely used in the analysis of trace elements in various gases, metal organic compounds, and metal alcohol salts.
