Intelligent design with premium functionality and persuasive performance characteristics:

• Just one light source for all elements 
• Unique simultaneous background correction
• Sequential multi-element routine as standard
  
• High sample throughput
  
• Rapid readiness for measurement
  
• Easy to operate and robust
  
• New information content
• Impressive analytical performance

High-resolution continuum source AAS (HR-CS AAS) offers completely new analytical possibilities for the entire spectral range through the use of a single continuum radiation source. Maximum information is combined with low running costs and straightforward operation and evaluation.

Unique flexibility

The xenon short-arc lamp is a continuous radiation source with optimal intensity for the entire AAS wavelength range. Every element and every line can be measured. This option provides users with totally new dimensions for analysis. No matter how frequently or seldom you have to determine an element, contrAA^® is immediately ready for measurement. The evaluation of molecular absorption bands, allowing the analysis of additional elements is a further innovation.

Precise results due to simultaneous background correction

The use of a CCD detector permits a unique simultaneous background correction. Using the reference pixels of the detector and fully automated background routines, spectral interferences and direct line overlays are corrected in realtime.

Unique resolution

The unique resolution is decisive for the new quality of the measurement results. Interference is minimized through optimum line separation. Errors, which are caused by the limits of the resolution in traditional line AAS, can be identified for the first time and thereby avoided.

High sample throughput:

• Variable sample introduction technique capable of easily processing both liquids and direct solids making it unique
• High performance autosampler MPE featuring functions such as intelligent dilution and enrichment makes over-night processing routine and guarantees the highest dosing precision
• High sample throughput, variability and efficiency ensured by the dual atomizer concept

Direct solid analysis

The transversely heated graphite furnace facilitates the introduction of liquid samples as well as direct solid sample feed. The combination of the furnace with powerful background correction forms the basis for optimal results. In addition, the development of a specially optimized sample holder allows the analysis of various solids from powders to sample pieces. The geometry of the holder guarantees ideal atomization conditions in the solids tube and reliable transport procedures for sample introduction. The different manual or automatic samplers for solids make the use of ZEEnit for direct solid analytics child's play. The 3-field mode opens up a multitude of new possibilities, as significantly greater contents can be measured without dilution in a wide range of samples.

novAA^® 400 P

State-of-the-art graphite technique...

A unique furnace design

The transverse-heated graphite furnace is a must where optimum atomization conditions and high sample throughput are required simultaneously. This clearly superior concept has, for a number of years, been successfully employed in all Analytik Jena graphite furnace AAS systems. It guarantees uniform temperature all along the optical axis throughout the tube and eliminates memory and condensation effects that occur at the cooler tube ends of conventional, longitudinally heated graphite tubes. Lower atomizing temperatures prolong tube life. Problem-free analysis of low-volatility elements (e.g., vanadium, molybdenum), and the direct analysis of solid samples are possible.

Marked improvement in accuracy

Transverse-heated graphite tubes considerably diminish many chemical interferences and therefore matrix effects. As a consequence, your analyses are almost memory-free.

Cost-efficient analyses

To save operating costs, you can choose between two types of tubes:
The platform tube allows you to determine all elements with just one tube – no need to change tubes during a multielement routine. For simple applications, the low-cost wall tube is the best choice.

Time-saving and amazingly easy

The transverse-heated tube design makes tube change and adjusting the sampler pipetting tip easier than ever before.

novAA^® 350

A robust, simple to use flame system AA Spectrometer with all the highlights of a high-end system

The novAA^® 350 is designed to meet the challenges of the most routine analysis and demanding applications. So it is the perfect choice for each laboratory that needs a trouble-free solution for atomic absorption analysis.

Specification at a glance:

• Robust design for handling complex matrices and resist difficult lab environment
• Fully automated 8 lamp turret for highest sample throughput

• Intelligent optical design
• Convincing modern software concept guiding through the measuring process
  

Automated flame technology – High precision andspeed

In today´s laboratories, automation of the AA flame mode is more important than ever. Fast analysis, automated dilution, reliable quality monitoring, all with uncomplicated handling, are a must. Meeting these requirements with ease, the novAA^® series is bound to become an indispensable routine spectrometer for element analysis.

Flame autosampler – Maximum sample throughput and automatic dilution

Autosamplers for the flame mode make your routine analysis of standards and samples almost fully automatic. Integrated in the overall concept of the instrument, either sampler can be simply hung directly into the sample compartment. This saves space and minimizes tubing lengths – the best way to prevent contamination in case of real samples.

A wide variety of accessories

Accessories such as the Segmented Flow Star (SFS) or the Scraper help you facing the challenges of complex matrices in flame analysis. In addition to the standard flame technique the software controlled SFS for injection mode operation, is convincing by:

• Easy operation of samples with high salt or acid content
• Stable burner conditions guaranteed by continuous rinsing and constant temperature conditions
• Automatic metering of smallest sample volumes

The „Scraper“ is an intelligent, automatic, software-controlled cleaning device:

• For the nitrous oxide burner head for troublefree work over a long period.
• Once activated in the software the Scraper guarantees a continuous and reproducible measuring cycle in the routine analysis.
• Before each sample measurement and calibration the slot is cleaned.

The concept of this simple accessory is easy to use for best reproducable results.
