Due to its versatility and performance it can be used for a wide range of applications including: Agriculture, Clinical, Environmental, Food, Metal, Mining and Petrochemical. The Instrument is available in three configurations: ● AA500F – The Instrument is equipped with a Flame atomiser only. 3 flames are available with the air/acetylene as standard configuration and N2O/acetylene or air/LPG(natural gas) available as an option. All 3 flame configurations offer coded burner for full safety protection. ● AA500G – The Instrument is equipped with a Graphite Furnace Atomiser only. The Graphite head is fixed into the optical path to maximise performance and eliminate drift. The transversally heated graphite tube is efficiently heated and cooled due to the precision feedback system. ● PG Instruments Ltd, Alma Park, Wibtoft, Leicestershire, LE17 5BH, England Tel: 0044 (0) 1455 220131 Fax: 0044 (0) 1455 220025 www.pginstruments.com Email: [email protected] AA500FG – The Instrument is equipped with both Flame and Graphite Furnace Atomiser’s as detailed in the previous description. Both configurations are installed into the instrument and can be changed over by a simple selection in the versatile AA-Win software.
