Product news

Analytik Jena once more expands the range of applications of the revolutionary contrAA® product series: Now the simultaneous analysis of several absorption lines in the measured spectral range is also possible. This offers great benefits especially in the relatively time-consuming graphite furnace technology, because several elements can be detected simultaneously using a single atomization.

One application example is the simultaneous detection of Ni, Fe and V in waste water. Low vanadium concentrations in the µg/l range are detected in parallel to Ni and Fe concentrations in the mg/l range in process water. Using simultaneous measurement the sample throughput can be tripled. The unique three-dimensional spectrum representation supports users in the rapid optimization of the atomizing parameters without additional empirical intermediate steps.

Simultaneous multi-element analysis with the contrAA® series offers:
• Increase of the sample throughput
• Easy optimization of methods
• Savings in measuring time and sample volumes

Atomic Absorption / Emission SpectroscopyAtomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and atomic emission spectroscopy (AES) — also called optical emission spectroscopy (OES) — are used to detect the elemental constituents in samples. Both techniques involve the atomization of a sample. Atomic absorption spectrometers may use a flame or furnace to create an atomic vapor of the sample before irradiation with spectral light. Optical emission spectrometers may use a flame, inductively coupled plasma (ICP), microwave plasma (MP) or spark arcs to atomize and excite the sample. At higher excitation energies, electrons can be emitted instead of photons, which can be useful for samples that can’t be atomized and for surface analysis. Explore electron spectroscopy equipment such as Auger spectrometers and photoelectron spectrometers for surface elemental analysis of samples.

Techniques like ICP-MS, X-ray fluorescence, and atomic absorption spectroscopy allow precise quantification of elements such as metals and nonmetals in complex matrices.
