Simultaneous Multi-Element Analysis

Analytik Jena expands the range of applications of the Contraa product series: Now the simultaneous analysis of several absorption lines in the measured spectral range is also possible. This offers benefits especially in the relatively time-consuming graphite furnace technology, because several elements can be detected simultaneously using a single atomization.

One application example is the simultaneous detection of Ni, Fe and V in waste water. Low vanadium concentrations in the μg/l range are detected in parallel to Ni and Fe concentrations in the mg/l range in process water. Using simultaneous measurement the sample throughput can be tripled. The three-dimensional spectrum representation supports users in the rapid optimization of the atomizing parameters without additional empirical intermediate steps.
