Thermo Scientific AA301 Atomic Absorption Spectrometer

The Thermo Scientific AA301 Atomic Absorption Spectrometer is an analytical laboratory instrument intended for the quantitative determination of metals and selected elements in prepared samples using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS). Atomic absorption spectroscopy measures the absorption of characteristic wavelengths of light by free atoms. This makes AAS particularly useful for determining concentrations of metals such as iron (Fe), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), sodium (Na) and potassium (K) when the appropriate analytical method, lamp and atomization system are used. Thermo Scientific's atomic absorption platforms are designed for elemental analysis in areas including environmental, food, pharmaceutical, industrial and research laboratories. Current Thermo Scientific AAS documentation describes flame, graphite-furnace and vapour atomization approaches depending on instrument configuration.
