Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS)
Aurora TRACE AI1200 Plus Atomic Absorption Spectrometer
The Aurora TRACE AI1200 Plus is a third-generation atomic absorption spectrometer capable of ultra-trace elemental detection across more than 70 elements, using switchable single/double-beam optics and an aberration-corrected 300 mm focal-length Czerny-Turner monochromator.
The system supports flame (F), flame/graphite furnace (F/GF), and flame/vapor-generation (F/VG) configurations, with automatic switching between flame and graphite-furnace atomizers and a transversely heated graphite tube for spatially uniform atomization. The accompanying air compressor and nitrous oxide cylinders supply the air-acetylene and nitrous oxide-acetylene flame sources required for refractory elements, while the Dell workstation, online UPS, and extension leads provide instrument control, data handling, and stable power delivery for the flame/furnace hardware.
Analytical Capabilities & Compatible Sample Types
The TRACE AI1200 Plus quantifies trace and ultra-trace concentrations of metallic and metalloid elements in digested or dissolved liquid samples, covering over 70 elements including the calcium, barium, tin, zinc, magnesium, manganese, cobalt, copper, and iron lines supported by the installed lamp turret.
