A simple attachment to enhance the sensitivity of flame atomic absorption spectroscopy (FAAS) is described in this article, along with performance results and practical applications. An historical review is also presented.
The document describes a simple attachment, the ACT 80, designed to enhance the sensitivity of flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). It details the device's physical characteristics, installation requirements, and performance evaluation.
| Tube Length | 150 mm |
|---|---|
| Slot Dimensions | 100 mm x 2 mm and 80 mm x 2 mm |
| Slot Angle | 120 degrees |
| Compatible Flame | Air-acetylene |
| Installation Height Adjustment | 7 mm |
It is a simple attachment to enhance the sensitivity of flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS).
Only the air-acetylene flame can be used because a hotter flame would destroy the tube.
It is installed in a standard Agilent Vapor Generation Accessory (VGA 76) cell holder and fits on a burner.
