Product news

The ASpect CS software package version 2.0 for High-Resolution Continuum Source (HR-CS) AAS with the contrAA® series provides innovative new features significantly increasing productivity, flexibility and operation comfort.

The main new features include simultaneous multi-element analysis of any number of analytical wavelengths within the spectrum window. Integration ranges for each line can be selected freely, for increased sensitivity. A new background correction method and an improved spectral correction of interferences allow simple and automatic correction of complex structured spectral background and overlapping matrix lines.

ASpect CS is operated intuitively thanks to its smart layout. Straightforward development of analytical methods for one or more elements, optimization wizards that automatically find the best analytical conditions for any application and a comprehensive set of quality control functions guarantee reliable results. The fail-safe data storage system ensures full traceability of results and simple data exchange, reprocessing and backup. With the integrated report generator the user can easily design customized reports.

Atomic Absorption / Emission SpectroscopyAtomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and atomic emission spectroscopy (AES) — also called optical emission spectroscopy (OES) — are used to detect the elemental constituents in samples. Both techniques involve the atomization of a sample. Atomic absorption spectrometers may use a flame or furnace to create an atomic vapor of the sample before irradiation with spectral light. Optical emission spectrometers may use a flame, inductively coupled plasma (ICP), microwave plasma (MP) or spark arcs to atomize and excite the sample. At higher excitation energies, electrons can be emitted instead of photons, which can be useful for samples that can’t be atomized and for surface analysis. Explore electron spectroscopy equipment such as Auger spectrometers and photoelectron spectrometers for surface elemental analysis of samples. Find the best atomic absorption, photoelectron and optical emission spectrometers in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Software PlatformsSoftware platforms are useful for various stages of laboratory experiments from data collection to data storage and processing. For instance lab software is available for system control, data management, data analysis and qualification / validation.
