TRACE 1800 Atomic Absorption Spectrometer Brochure

Elemental AnalysisFEATURESŸFull reflection optic design is highly efficient with no wavelength discrimination within full wavelength range, ensuring the highest image sharpness for each elemental analysis.ŸTwo direction eight (8) lamp turret with auto-switch and independent power supplies for up to 6 lamps simultaneous warm up & two high intensity power supplies.ŸFast wavelength scan takes less than 100 seconds to scan from 185-900 nm providing results quickly enabling higher throughput.ŸMicro-volume sample injection for flame AAS from 50-500 µL. Requires only 50 µL sample solution to complete a flame test. This enables high precision testing when sample sizes are limited.ŸUniversal XYZ autosampler is compatible with all types of atomizers and provides access to any (customized or Aurora’s pre-defined) sample vials (F, GF, & VG).ŸSwitchable single/true double beam optics ensures highly accurate, highly precise results under various conditions. ŸAuto-switch between flame (F) and graphite furnace (GF) atomizers provides a highly efficient software controlled process.ŸTransversely heated GF tube with GF heating rate up to 3800 K/sec maintains a uniform temperature distribution and allows GF tube to quickly reach an appropriate isothermal state.ŸIntegrated graphite furnace video camera system provides a convenient way to observe the sample injection procedure and drying stage.ŸFull safety features GF cooling water flow and argon flow monitoring alarms, other safety features and auto-shutdown in case of power failure.ŸSelf-reverse and industry leading 1 kHz D 2background correction ensures the accuracy of results.ŸOnline dilution enables automatic dilution from a single stock standard solution to create entire sets of calibration standards for both flame and graphite furnace.ŸAutomatic acetylene flow rate control and optimization ensures hands-free operation, increasing productivity.ŸTitanium burner head Durable construction ensures a long life with low interference.ŸSolid Teflon nebulizer chamber chemically inert, providing superior resistance to corrosive reagents.urrent industry demands require that elemental analysis Cembodies higher precision and sensitivity, with lower detection limits than ever before. Aurora has built a reputation as a leading manufacturer of atomic absorption and atomic fluorescence spectrometry. Building on this success, Aurora is pleased to introduce the newest addition to its line of atomic absorption spectrometers - the TRACE 1800. The TRACE 1800 generates faster results while providing superior accuracy through the integration of novel full reflection optic design. Its patented micro-volume sample injection along with the full reflection optic design allows the TRACE 1800 to provide highly efficient analysis of samples from 50-500µL (in flame mode). The TRACE 1800 is ideal for use in many applications requiring a high quality precision instrument such as food & drug safety and medical applications.uroraIlluminating SolutionsTRACE 1800 Atomic Absorption SpectrometerATOMIZERSNOTE: Instrument specifications may change without notice as an ongoing effort of product improvement.SPECTROMETERSAMPLE PREPARATIONVERSA Mini NAP/PCR SetupNorth American Sales: Aurora Biomed Inc.1001 East Pender Street Vancouver BC Canada V6A 1W2Phone: 1.800.883.2918 • 604-215-8700Email: info@aurorabiomed.comWebsite: www.aurorabiomed.comInternational Sales: Aurora Instruments Ltd.1001 East Pender Street Vancouver BC Canada V6A 1W2Phone: 604-215-8700 • Fax: 604-215-9700Email: info@aurora-instr.comWebsite: www.aurora-instr.com Primary Optics Full reflection High light throughput switchable single/true double beam optics.
