Atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) is an easy, high-throughput, and inexpensive technology used primarily to analyze elements in solution. As such, AAS is used in food and beverage, water, clinical research, and pharmaceutical analysis.

A simple, versatility single atomizer AAS with fully automatic gas box. A complete solution for laboratories with a main need to perform flame analysis but with occasional furnace samples., Achieve challenging detection limits with a single graphite furnace atomizer and interference removal with...

Data analysis in atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) is a multi-step process, with the user having to select the correct method and wavelengths in order to obtain optimal results. Background correction is also a key component of successful AAS data analysis.

Sample preparation and introduction involve rendering a liquid or solid sample into a state that the instrument can process for elemental analysis. In the case of flame AAS, this involves atomizing the sample, which involves the creation of a fine mist dispersion.

The standard AAS instrument consists of four components: the sample introduction area, the light (radiation) source, the monochromator or polychromator, and the detector (figure 1)., Following absorption, the characteristic wavelengths emitted from the excitation sources, the flame or graphite...

US EPA Method 200.9 is the "Determination of Trace Elements by Stabilized Temperature Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption (GFAA)." This regulatory method is for analyzing 16 dissolved and total recoverable elements in ground water, surface water, drinking water, storm runoff, industrial and domestic...

Edible oils are among the most abundant cooking ingredients in the world. They are extracted from plants, seeds, nuts, and fruits. Depending on oil type, they are used in baking and frying food and for noncooking products such as salad dressing, margarine spreads, and dips.

Chemical elements constitute all of the ordinary matter in the universe. Of the 118 elements that have been identified, 94 are found naturally on Earth, having either stable or unstable isotopes. Because all matter differs in its elemental composition, it also differs in its chemical properties.

Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES), sometimes referred to as ICP-atomic emission spectroscopy, is the technique of choice for many applications that require analyzing a sample for its elemental content.

The petrochemical industry widely uses Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES) for the analysis of trace elements during extraction and refining of crude oil, where trace elements are identified and measured in drilling mud compounds, produced waters, crude oil, and in the...

Common cations in group I and II of the periodic table (dissolved alkali and alkaline earth metals) are not on the National Primary or Secondary Drinking Water Regulations (NPDWR or NSDWR) list. However, these cations are routinely monitored in public water systems in the US and some are regulated...

Soil analysis is routine testing for both research and farm communities. Understanding the nutrient components in soil as well as testing biosolids (often used as fertilizers) and plants are necessary in order to determine how much fertilizer is needed.

Metals, especially toxic heavy metals, can contaminate our air, water, and soil and damage public health. We can help you comply with regulations and ensure our drinking water is free from toxic heavy metals, as well as provide metal analysis solutions for product development, quality control,...
