TPC System is used to control the instrument. Pre-installed AA-Win Pro software, user manuals, cook book and Windows 7 professional operating system.
AA-Win Pro software provides full control of the in- strument and autosampler with easy method change for each technique.
Automatic 8 Hollow Cathode lamp turret controlled and optimised by the AA-Win Pro software. Operat- ing lamp current and warm-up lamp current can be individually controlled to eliminate drift commonly as- sociated with lamp warming.
D2 lamp background correction system fitted as stan- dard to all configurations. High energy D2 lamp and adjustable beam splitter mirror are optimised by the AA-Win pro 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 com- ponents are required and optical alignment is very simple. Self Reversal can be used for any element at any wavelength making it extremely versatile.
High precision minimal optics ensures maximum light throughput to the computer controlled Czerny-Turner monochromator.
A universal autosampler is available as an optional accessory which is conveniently mounted on the front of the AAS-3800 instrument.
Air/Acetylene
The Air/Acetylene flame uses a 100mm single slot burner for the standard configuration.
The high sensitivity (Cu 2ppm >0.280abs) is due to the efficiency of the fixed position glass nebuliser 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.
N20/Acetylene
The N20/Acetylene flame uses a 50mm single slot burner and is available as an optional extra.
This flame configuration is used to measure elements less prone to ionization such as: Aluminium, Tin, Titanium, Calcium, Vanadium and Molybdenum.
Switching from Air/Acetylene to N20/Acetylene to Flame Off is fully controlled by the AAWinPro software.
Air/Propane (LPG)
This flame uses a 3 slot burner and with the Iow pressure requirement, it is also much safer to operate.
Due to the low 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.
