Atomic absorption Spectrophotometer:

Atomic absorption Spectrophotometer is a spectroanalytical procedure for the quantitative determination of chemical elements employing the absorption of optical radiation (light) by free atoms in the gaseous state. In analytical chemistry, the technique is used for determining the concentration of a particular element (the analyte) in a sample to be analysed. AAS technique makes use of absorption spectrometry to assess the concentration of an analyte in a sample. It requires standards with known analyte content to establish the relation between measured absorbance and the analyte concentration and relies therefore on the Beer-Lambert Law.

• Qualitative and quantitative analysis of elements. (e.g. Ca, Mg, Fe, Al, Cd content)

• Water analysis

• Food analysis

• Analysis of animal feedstuffs

• Analysis of additives in lubricating oils and greases

• Soils and clinical analysis
