5-Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS):

Is an analytical technique that measures the concentrations of elements. It makes use of the wavelengths of light specifically absorbed by an element. The atoms absorb ultraviolet or visible light That correspond to the energies needed to promote electrons from one energy level to another higher energy level.

 PinAAcle 900T perkinelmer AAS has the flexibility to switch between flame and furnace in seconds, and its high light throughput optical system, combined with a solid-state detector, provides the highest-quality efficiency and signal-to-noise performance of any AA system on the market. In addition, it features cutting-edge fiber optics for improved detection limits and TubeView™ color furnace camera for easier autosampler tip alignment and sample dispensing, as well as to monitor drying and pyrolysis during analysis for simpler method development. All of this in the smallest flame/furnace AA footprint, saving valuable bench space.

Applcations of AAS:-

Determination of metal elements in blood, saliva, urine samples like sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and heavy metals like iron, manganese, copper, zinc, mercury, lead, nickel, tin, etc. in urine, blood, etc., and estimation of Lead in petroleum products. and also, for determination of metal concentrations in groundwater and bore well samplings before using for drinking and irrigation.
