Flame Atomiser Features
  • 3 flame systems are available. Air/acetylene is the standard configuration with the N2O/acetylene and Air/LPG as options.
  • Air/Acetylene
  • This flame uses a 100mm single slot burner for standard configuration.
  • The high sensitivity (Cu 5ppm > 0.9A) is due to the efficiency of the fixed position High Efficiency Nebuliser fitted as standard. An acid resistant replacement is available as an option.
  • N2O/Acetylene 
  • The burner for this gas has a 50mm slot and is used to measure elements less prone to ionization such as: Aluminium, Tin, Titanium, Calcium and Vanadium.
  • The switchover from air/acetylene and flame off is fully computer controlled.
  • Air/Propane (LPG)
  • This flame uses a 3 slot burner and with the low pressure requirement it is also much safer to operate. Due to the lower temperature it is ideal for analysing alkali metals such as Potassium, Sodium and Lithium, especially when used in the Emission mode.
  • There are some remote areas in the world that have difficulty obtaining acetylene or even a high enough purity to operate the flame, so LPG can give a real alternative and offer comparable results throughout the wavelength range.
  • Safety Features
  • Gas Pressure Monitoring for all gasses • Burner Identification • Flame Sensor • Drain Trap level Sensor • Gas Leak Detector • Safety cut off switch 
Graphite Furnace Atomiser Feature
  • The graphite furnace atomiser is available in 2 Models: - In the AA8000G instrument the graphite furnace head is fixed into the light path. In the AA8000FG instr ument the graphite furnace head is positioned automatically into the light path by a simple operation in the AA-Win software.
  • Furnace Head Design - The Transverse head is heated and cooled efficiently due to the feedback system and has been designed to reduce analytical problems normally associated with this type of technique. Pyrolytically coated graphite tubes are used as standard and are manufactured to improve performance as well as increase the analytical life.
  • Heating Program - Up to 10 heat stages are available. These can be set up and stored in the AA-Win software.
  • The graphite furnace tube is cooled efficiently by an optional water circulation system / chiller.
  • Safety Features:
  • Argon Gas Pressure Sensor • Water Flow Sensor • Over Temperature Sensor
  • Camera for Graphite furnace can be provided on request
The Instrument is available in three configuration
  • Equipped with Flame Atomiser with options for three flame configuration: 
  • Air/Acetylene as standard configuration
  • N2O/Acetylene or Air/LPG (Natural Gas) as option. 
  • All three flame configurations are offered with coded burner for full safety and protection.
  • Equipped with Integrated Flame and Graphite Atomiser with easy change-over by simple selection in the AA- Win Software.
  • Equipped with Graphite Furnace Atomiser. The Graphite head is fixed into the optical path to maximise per formance and eliminate drift. The transversely heated graphite tube is efficiently heated and cooled due to precision feedback system. Option upgradability to Graphite camera.
