flame,atomic absorption spectrometer

The CAAM-2001F three-lamp flame atomic absorption spectrometer was independently developed by our company professors Wu Tingzhao and Chen Lianyuan, who worked on developing this instrument, have been in the atomic absorption field in China for many years and have experience in developing various types of instruments. They brought together years of experience and dedicated it to the field of atomic absorption spectroscopy.

III. Main Features of the CAAM-2001 Series Atomic Absorption Spectrometer:

1. High Stability:

   The instrument's baseline stability is ≤0.002A/30min. Baseline stability is a fundamental indicator for evaluating an instrument, as it determines a series of operational conditions of the main unit, such as noise, sensitivity, and repeatability.

2. High Sensitivity:

   The atomic absorption spectrometers produced by our company can achieve sensitivity (1 μg/mL copper Cu absorbance ≥0.28 Abs).

3. High Power:

   The lamp current of the instrument is controlled at 3mA–5mA (other manufacturers 8mA–12mA), spectral bandwidth is 0.2nm, and a negative high voltage of 150V–350V is enough to reach full transmittance. This allows your hollow cathode lamp to be used more than half longer, greatly saving consumables and procurement costs.

4. USB Interface:

   This atomic absorption spectrometer is equipped with a USB interface, compatible with various computer models and office equipment, reflecting the instrument's foresight and compatibility.

5. Independently Developed Supporting Equipment and Consumables:

   Our company independently develops ancillary facilities and consumables related to atomic absorption spectrometers, such as hydride generators, high-performance hollow cathode lamps, and glass efficient nebulizers. The use of high-performance hollow cathode lamps offers advantages such as high emission intensity, high determination sensitivity, lower detection limits, better stability, and elimination of interference from nearby spectral lines. The development, production, and application of glass efficient nebulizers improve the sensitivity, detection limits, and stability of atomic absorption measurements to a certain extent. The flow injection hydride generator used in atomic absorption spectrometers is easy to operate, offers high determination efficiency, and can partially replace atomic fluorescence photometers.

6. User-Friendly Data Processing Software:

   Combining domestic and international data processing results with practical experience in the Chinese atomic absorption spectroscopy field, it provides highly reliable data processing outcomes. The software is designed for fast and easy operation with strong functionality.

7. Integrated Graphite Furnace System with Main Unit:

   The graphite furnace system automatically switches with the flame atomizer (H-type), making the transition from system switching to sample measurement very simple and fast, greatly saving analysis time. An automatic sampler is optionally available.
