ATOMIC ABSORPTION SPECTROMETER (AAS)

The Instrument:

Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS) is a technique for determining the concentration of elements in a liquid sample by absorbing energy from specific wavelengths of light (often 190 to 900 nm). Individual elements absorb wavelengths differently, and the absorbance of these elements are evaluated against standards. This approach is used for the quantitative determination of over 70 different elements. Currently 10 metals including Zn, Fe, Cu, Mn, Ag, Mg, Co, Cd, Li and Pb can analyze in the CISIC Lab.

Individual elements absorb wavelengths differently, and the absorbance of these elements are evaluated against standards. This approach is used for the quantitative determination of approximately 10 metals including Zn, Fe, Cu, Mn, Ag, Mg, Co, Cd, Li and Pb only.
