contrAA Series — High-Resolution Continuum Source AAS by Analytik Jena GmbH+Co. KG

contrAA^® Series — Atomic Absorption. Redefined.

The atomic absorption spectrometers of the contrAA^® series are the only commercially available instruments for High-Resolution Continuum Source AAS (HR-CS AAS). As a link between standard AAS instruments and ICP-OES spectrometers contrAA^® combines the best of two worlds: rapid sequential and simultaneous multi-element analysis, ease of handling and manageable costs.

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.

contrAA^® 800 series — superior technologies guarantee for excellent results:

• Multi Element
  One light source for fast sequential and simultaneous multi-element analysis
• High-Resolution Optics
  Interference-free analysis and highest precision
• HD Spectrum

Complemented by a wide range of accessories including autosamplers and online-dilutors, flow-injection and hydride generation systems the contrAA® 800 is the most versatile AAS available today.

Available configurations:

• contrAA^® 800 F
  For flame and hydride technology
• contrAA^® 800 G
  For graphite furnace technique, solid AA^®, and HydrEA
• contrAA^® 800 D
  For flame and graphite furnace technique, solid AA^®, hydride, and HydrEA

Seven reasons why contrAA^® 800 should be part of every lab:

1. Comfortable handling
2. Maximum flexibility
3. Accelerated processes
4. Best Precision
5. Low space requirements
6. Long service life
7. Decades of experience
