Flow Injection for Atomic Spectroscopy

Product catalog summary
Introduction
Flow Injection for Atomic Spectroscopy (FIAS) enhances laboratory productivity and capabilities, particularly when used with PerkinElmer AA, ICP-OES, or ICP-MS systems. It automates sample preparation and delivery, significantly increasing efficiency and accuracy in trace elemental analysis.
Flow Injection Overview
Flow injection involves injecting small sample portions into a carrier solution stream using a valve and pump assembly. This method automates processes like hydride generation and analyte preconcentration, improving detection limits and reducing sample preparation time.
FIAS Systems and Performance
The FIAS 100 and 400 systems can perform up to 180 determinations per hour, with optional autosamplers for increased sample handling. These systems offer superior analytical performance compared to traditional flame AA analysis, particularly in complex matrices where matrix interference is minimized.
Mercury and Hydride Analysis
FIAS systems provide automated mercury/hydride analysis with improved detection limits. Techniques like amalgamation preconcentration allow for ultratrace mercury detection, achieving limits as low as 0.2 ng/L. This is crucial for compliance with regulatory standards.
Benefits of FIAS
FIAS offers full automation, reduced reagent consumption, and lower interferences, leading to accurate results and high throughput. It is particularly beneficial for samples with high dissolved solids, reducing washout times and contamination risks.
FIAS-Furnace Coupling
Combining FIAS with graphite furnace AA enhances sensitivity and sample handling. This coupling improves detection limits by 100-fold or more, eliminates interferences, and automates operations, making it a cost-effective solution for ultratrace determinations.
System Specifications
The FIAS systems are automated flow injection systems compatible with various spectrometry techniques. They feature computer-controlled operations, stepper-motor driven pumps, and optional amalgamation accessories for mercury analysis.
Conclusion
PerkinElmer's FIAS systems represent a flexible and efficient solution for atomic spectroscopy, offering enhanced productivity, accuracy, and compliance with regulatory standards. They are supported by PerkinElmer's extensive expertise and global presence in laboratory asset management.

Element Detection Limit (µg/L) Graphite Furnace* FIAS-furnace coupling Combining the benefits of flow injection with the excellent sensitivity of graphite furnace provides additional performance and sample-handling capability. Graphite furnace AA is one of the most sensitive techniques for trace metal determinations. However, with this technique, detection limits are constrained by the limited sample-volume capacity (typically 10 to 50 µL). This prevents the...

Flow Injection for Atomic Spectroscopy-6

Increase your lab flexibility with FIAS for AA, ICPOES or ICP-MS Flow-injection analysis is ideally suited for samples containing high levels of dissolved solids. For example, saturated salt solutions or dissolved fusion mixtures can be directly analyzed for extended periods (Figures 5 and 6). Since the system is continuously rinsed with the carrier stream after each sample measurement, there is reduced danger of blocking the nebulizer or burner slot in AA or depositing material on ICP-MS cones. This maximizes instrument stability and reduces the time required to perform recalibration and maintenance....
