Simultaneous Multi-Element Analysis with High Resolution Continuum Source AAS

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 atomisation.

One application example is the simultaneous detection of Ni, Fe and V in wastewater. 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 optimisation of the atomising parameters without additional empirical intermediate steps.

Simultaneous multi-element analysis with the contrAA® series offers: increased sample throughput; easy optimisation of methods; savings in measuring time and sample volumes.
