IUIC’s lab is equipped with the state-of-the-art ContrAA 800 Atomic Absorption Spectrometer. This instrument offers unparalleled performance for trace metal analysis, enabling the detection of 69 elements. With its high-resolution optics and rapid sequential analysis capabilities, the ContrAA 800 delivers accurate and reliable results across a wide range of samples. ContrAA 800 combines the best features of standard AAS and ICP-OES spectrometers.

Key Features:

• High-resolution continuum source (HR-CS): Enables simultaneous multi-element analysis and background correction.
• Fast sequential analysis: Rapid analysis of multiple elements in a single sample.
• High sensitivity: Detects trace elements with high accuracy.
• Wide linear dynamic range: Accommodates a wide range of sample concentrations.
• Versatile sample handling: Capable of handling various sample types, including liquids, solids, and slurries.
• High-resolution optics: Provides optimal detection limits.
• Flexible method development: Allows tailored analysis through 3D visualization of absorption spectra.
• Single lamp for all elements: Streamlines workflows and reduces maintenance.
• Reduced measurement time: Offers faster analysis times than traditional AAS systems.
