  • Reduce measurement time by up to 30 % thanks to fast-sequential analysis
  • Real simultaneous measurement for selected applications
  • Flexible method development with 3D visualization of absorption spectra
  • Determination of metals, semi-metals metalloids and even non-metals

High-Resolution Continuum Source (HR-CS) AAS

With the contrAA 800, lamp change in AAS is past. Only one light-intensive lamp, a xenon short arc lamp, covers the entire wavelength range of AAS. A high-resolution spectrometer with CCD detector gives a 3D spectrum and provides a maximum confidence in results and the best detection limits down to the sub ppb range. Fast sequential and multi-element measurements reduce the measurement time and maximize the sample throughput. With the spectral background correction automated by software routines (ABC and CSI-tool) even difficult samples can be analyzed easily. An elaborate design combines this unique optics with all atomization techniques, the flame, graphite furnace and hydride technique in a single platform. A wide range of intelligent accessories maximizes productivity, safety and ease of use for analytical routines. With the fully automated direct solid analysis you can skip the effort of sample digestion.

ASpect CS

Optimized for multi-element analysis with HR-CS AAS

ASpect CS is optimized for multi-element analysis with HR-CS AAS and provides straightforward, routine handling of data on a user interface with maximum flexibility even for challenging analyses beyond daily routines. It allows for the simultaneous evaluation of multiple element lines in one spectrum and free definition of the integration ranges of individual lines. Advanced correction algorithms automate the process of correcting both complex structured backgrounds and spectral interferences (CSI tool), providing more reliable figures than ever before. You can visualize your measurements and optimize your methods thanks to the three-dimensional, high-definition display of the spectra (HD Spectrum).

  • SOPs for easy method development
  • A large range of innovative evaluation methods such as the CSI tool
  • High safety measures and Good Laboratory Practice (GLP)
  • FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance (optional)
