Perkin-Elmer, PE AAnalyst 200 Atomic Absorption Spectrometer

The AAnalyst 200 features the first true double-beam Echelle optical system used in an AA.

True doublebeam systems compensate for changes that may occur in lamp intensity during an analysis.

• The system ensures a more stable baseline and improved performance - precision and detection limits - plus simpler operation.
• Compared to pseudo double-beam systems offered in other systems, which move an optic or the burner head, the AAnalyst 200's true double- beam system compensates for any drift multiple times per second, rather than only once between each sample.

• At the heart of the high performance optical system is a unique solid-state detector designed to provide high quantum efficiency in the UV region.
• When combined with the high light throughput of the Echelle optical system, even "difficult" elements such as As and Ba can be measured with excellent signal-to- noise ratios.
• Plus, using a solid-state detector means that no expensive PMT tubes will ever have to be replaced, once again lowering the cost of ownership.
