elemental analysis
The Thermo Scientific S Series
Atomic Absorption Spectrometer
offers no-compromise single
atomizer analysis for the budget
conscious, yet still with the
highest levels of multi-element
productivity.
S Series AA Spectrometers
High performance Atomic Absorption Systems
• The smallest footprint, by far, for any
instrument in its’ class - amazingly less
than 0.35 m2.
• Stunning simplicity of use - with a
comprehensive Windows Wizard-driven
user interface.
• A completely new Ebert
monochromator-based optical system,
with Stockdale double beam optics,
providing new levels of superior
detection capability.
• A new pre-aligned, combined furnace and
autosampler module that makes
installation easy.
• No compromise in facilities - a 6 lamp
auto-aligning lamp carousel, QuadLine
background correction, double beam
optics, Universal inert burner, burner
optimisation, furnace optimisation plus all
software, including full QC protocols, are
standard. Fully automated gas control.

Product Specifications
This really defines what “total automation”
can mean today. With the Thermo Scientific
S Series, it is truly a case of insert the
coded lamp, call up a stored method and
run the analysis.
Cost conscious, however, need not
mean compromised performance, because
the S Series offers unrivalled flame
sensitivity. A combination of fully inert spray
chamber, impact bead, spoiler and Pt/Ir
nebuliser is suitable for all flame and
sample types and provides high efficiency
nebulisation. The latest Universal Titanium
burner ensures exceptional atomisation
while the automatic gas control system
employs binary flow control for reliable
repeatability for all flame conditions.
Automatic burner height and gas flow
optimisation ensures simple operation. Even
the optical instrument parameters may be
optimised automatically, if required.
