Buck Scientific - Model 230ATS - Atomic Absorption Spectrometer - Manual

The Buck 210VGP atomic absorption spectrophotometer is designed to measure the concentration of elemental metals in solution. It provides integrated measurements in absorbance or emission intensity, as well as sample concentration in comparison to standard solutions. The readings can be integrated over a period from 0.5 to 10 seconds. For the transient signals obtained using flame-less techniques (cold vapor, hydride, and graphite furnace), absorbance is determined using peak area integration. The Buck 210VGP can be calibrated using up to 8 concentration values, with units of mg/L, µg/L, ppm, ppb, mEq/dL, mM/dL, µg/dL and %. Calculations can be performed using linear regression, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th order curves. Optional accessories allow the user to print absorbance data, background absorbance and concentrations in real time, and to collect absorbance values using a laboratory recorder. The Buck 210VGP interfaces with the Analyze software package for sophisticated data processing, documentation and reporting. An external computer may also process the data by using a communications program to download the data into a spreadsheet program.
