As a link between standard AAS instruments and ICP-OES spectrometers the contrAA 800 series combines the best of two worlds: rapid sequential and simultaneous multi-element analysis, ease of handling and manageable costs.

With a Xenon lamp emitting a continuous spectrum at high intensity, any element and wavelength can readily be analyzed whenever the requirement occurs – the contrAA 800 turned AAS into a true multi-element technique with unmatched flexibility. A high-resolution spectrometer with CCD detector produces a highly resolved absorption spectrum for each sample, providing deeper insight about the sample as well as visual proof of correct signal evaluation. With features like fast sequential and simultaneous multi-element analysis, including semi-quantitative overview screening of unknown samples, and analysis of non-metals contrAA 800 opens up new application fields previously reserved to other, much more expensive technologies. Superior correction algorithms for background and spectral interferences take productivity and accuracy of AAS to a new level – all while preserving its simple, robust and low-cost operation.

With its automatic atomizer switching and two-dimensional atomizer alignment, the contrAA 800 is a versatile all-rounder that comes in a modern, space-saving design.
