Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer

Specification:-

It is related to the area of Applied

& Analytical Chemistry

Research Area:-

Chemical Analysis

Resolution & Range:- 100 ppb to 1000 ppm

Application:-

Trace

elemental

analysis

in

metallurgical and water samples.

Atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) is an

analytical

technique

that

measures

the

concentrations of elements. Atomic absorption is so

sensitive that it can measure down to parts per
billion of a gram (ppb) in a sample. The technique
Equipment location:- ANC
Make & Model:- Thermo

makes use of the wavelengths of light specifically

absorbed by an element. They correspond to the
energies needed to promote electrons from one
energy level to another higher energy level.
