contrAA 800

With a Xenon lamp emitting a continuous spectrum at high intensity, any element and wavelength can readily be analyzed whenever the requirement occurs – the contrAA turned AAS into a true multi-element technique with unmatched flexibility. A high-resolution spectrometer with CCD detector produces a highly resolved absorption spectrum for each sample, providing deeper insight about the sample as well as visual proof of correct signal evaluation. With features like fast sequential and simultaneous multi-element analysis, including semi-quantitative overview screening of unknown samples, and analysis of non-metals contrAA 800 opens up new application fields previously reserved to other, much more expensive technologies. Superior correction algorithms for background and spectral interferences take productivity and accuracy of AAS to a new level – all while preserving its simple, robust and low-cost operation. With its automatic atomizer switching and two-dimensional atomizer alignment, the contrAA 800 is a versatile all-rounder that comes in a modern, space-saving design.

Modern software tools facilitate data evaluation. Spectral background and lamp intensity fluctuations are automatically corrected directly in the spectrum. Interference from other atomic and molecular absorption structures is reduced to a minimum from the outset thanks to the high resolution. Complex spectral interferences can be corrected using matrix correction spectra. This not only provides fast sequential determination and qualification of all elements contained in the sample, but also reliable results.
