Analytik Jena UK will be holding a UK-based roadshow during July 2008 featuring the ContrAA series of high resolution continuum source (HR-CS) atomic absorption spectrophotometers
The ContrAA series combines the simplicity of AAS with the speed and flexibility of ICP spectrometry by utilising a high resolution continuum light source in conjunction with a high resolution double Echelle monochromator for the first time in the technique.
The first opportunity to see the ContrAA series will be at the 14th biennial National Atomic Spectroscopy Symposium, University of Sussex, Brighton, UK, 7-9 July 2008.
This will be followed by roadshows in Brighton, Glasgow and Sheffield on 10th, 15th and 17th July 2008, respectively.
This forms the UK section of a world-wide tour for these high performance instruments.
The roadshows will feature a series of seminars as well as instrument demonstrations.
Topics seminar programme will include: a history of atomic spectroscopy through to continuum sources, fundamentals of HR-CS AAS, ASpectCS software for multi element analysis, practical, routine flame and graphite furnace applications and direct analysis of solids.
The ContrAA series is available in flame only or a flame, hydride and furnace version.
The novel HR-CS approach increases sample throughput, improves detection limits and reduces costs.
Each sample can be analysed sequentially for each element instead of having to measure one element and then change lamps.
