Safety
Functions
Interlocks prevent ignition if the proper burner head, the nebulizer/end cap, or the burner drain
system are not correctly installed; the liquid level in the drain vessel is incorrect; or gas pressures
are too low. Interlocks automatically shut down gases if a flame is not detected, or if any of the other
interlock functions are activated. Safe shutdown in the event of a power failure.
Burner System Premix design that can be moved automatically into the sample compartment via software control and
a motorized carriage. Alignment of the flame in the light beam is fully automatic and optimized, using
a motorized burner mount for vertical and horizontal burner adjustments. The burner is equipped with
a high-strength inert mixing chamber, angled to ensure proper drainage. Includes adjustable highprecision nebulizer and an all-titanium, 10-cm, single-slot burner head for air-acetylene operation.
Background correction
AC Zeeman-effect background correction using a modulated 0.8 Tesla magnetic field oriented longitudinally to the
optical path. The magnet is automatically switched on during the atomization step only.
AAnalyst 800
Built-in continuum source double-beam background correction for flame operation.
Graphite furnace
Built-in computer-controlled Transversely Heated Graphite Atomizer (THGA). The graphite tube is transversely
heated, providing a uniform temperature profile over the entire tube. An external protective gas stream around the
graphite tube prevents the entrance of outside air to maximize tube life. An internal purge gas goes through the graphite
tube to remove the volatilized matrix vapors during drying and thermal pretreatment. The two gas streams are independently computer-controlled. Pneumatic opening and closing of the furnace for easy tube change.
AAnalyst 800
The graphite furnace can be moved automatically into the sample compartment and positioned via
software control and a motorized carriage.
Furnace features
Program
Flexibility
Analytical programs with up to 12 steps can be set up. Each step can be programmed with the following
parameters:
Temperature:
Ambient up to 2600 C in steps of 10 C
Ramp and Hold Time: 1 to 9 sec. in steps of 1 sec.

Internal Gas Flow:
0, 50, or 250 mL/min; can be switched over to another type of gas
Required Inert Gas:
Argon. Inlet pressure 300 kPa (3 bar) minimum. Maximum gas consumption is
700 mL/min.
Water Coolant:
A circulatory cooling system is included with the AAnalyst 800, optional for
the AAnalyst 600. When operating the AAnalyst 600 without the circulatory
cooling system, cooling water meeting the following specifications should be
used: Sediment-free drinking water; 20-40 C; flow rate not less than 2 L/min;
pressure between 2.5 and 4.5 bar; pH between 6.5 and 7.5; hardness not greater
than 14dH or 100 ppm.

Data control system

Complete PC control using WinLab32 software. Provides complete control of the instrument and its major accessories
plus data handling and storage.
Data Handling
