Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS)

Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy

Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) is a precise technique for measuring the concentrations of elements in various materials. By utilizing specific electromagnetic wavelengths from a light source, AAS identifies the unique absorption patterns of distinct elements to determine their concentration in solid or liquid samples.

Key Applications of AAS:

  • Environmental Testing: Measuring elemental concentrations in rivers, drinking water, and seawater.
  • Food & Beverage Industry: Testing for elemental content and identifying toxic contamination in food products.
  • Pharmaceutical Industry: Determining minute quantities of catalyst materials and identifying impurities in drugs.
  • Industrial Analysis: Checking raw materials for essential elements and verifying the absence of toxic impurities.
  • Agriculture: Analyzing soil and plant tissue for essential elemental content.
  • Petrochemical Industry: Detecting metals that may adversely affect the quality of oil and gas.

Model: Analytik Jena - contrAA 800

Cost of Analysis: 5 JOD per element per sample
