The modular design of the AAnalyst 400 ensures easy maintenance and allows you to simply replace components for quick service, saving time and money and getting your instrument up and running right away. Designed for the rigorous needs of today’s analytical laboratory, with proven WinLab32 software providing all the flexibility and power you need in an easy to use, easy to learn package. The optional Enhanced Security (ES) software adds additional capabilities needed for regulatory requirements such as 21 CFR Part 11.

The AAnalyst 400 dramatically changes the way instruments are used and serviced, while maintaining the performance users have come to expect from PerkinElmer. The system incorporates innovations typically offered only on expensive research-grade instrumentation. True double-beam Echelle optics combined with the power of a solid-state detector delivers performance levels not typically available with mid-range AA. And, fully automated gas controls and integrated safety checks yield the safest AA system available today.

The AAnalyst 400 is flexible enough to meet the challenges of the most routine analyses to the most demanding applications, making it the perfect choice for any laboratory needing a reliable, trouble-free solution for inorganic analyses.

System: True double-beam echelle optical system. Front surfaced, reflecting optics with protective coating. Deuterium background corrector and two built-in EDL power supplies
Optical system: Echelle monochromator. Focal length: 300 mm. Grating: 36 x 185 mm area, 79 lines/mm, blaze angle 76 oC. Fused quartz prisme: 95 x 40 mm, 60 o. Wavelength: 189-900 nm. Spectral bandpass: 0.12 nm at 200 nm. The photometer optics are covered to protect against dust and corrosive vapors. For maximum protection, the optical system can be purged with an inert gas.

Detector: High-efficiency, segmented solid-state detector

Light sources: Hollow cathode or electrodeless discharge lamps (EDLs). EDLs provide much higher light output and longer lifetime when compared to conventinal hollow cathode lamps. Lamp elements and recommended operating currents and slit selection are automatically recognized and set when using PerkinElmer Lumina series AA lamps. Lamp alignment is completely automatic with the four-lamp turret.

Flame gas: Fully automated gas bow with computer-controlled oxidant selection, automatic gas sequencing, oxidant and fuel monitoring and control.

Control: Software-actuated ignition with air/acetylene. Acetylene flow is automatically adjusted when switching to or from nitrous-oxide/acetylene operation.
