An atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS) measures metals in a sample, down to trace levels, from how much light at each element’s own wavelength the sample’s atoms absorb. HSCo supplies AAS systems for flame work and, where lower limits are needed, graphite-furnace work, set up to suit the elements and sample load of your lab. Tell us the metals you test and the levels you expect, and we will suggest the right configuration.
Why labs choose an AAS
- Measures metals down to trace levels.
- Flame, or graphite furnace for lower limits.
- One lamp per element, easy to switch.
- PC software for calibration and reports.
