The MGA-1000 series of graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometers crystallizes intuitive technology and exceptional handling. The unique High Frequency Zeeman background correction system ensures effective compensation of intense and rapidly changing spectral interferences and brings routine analysis of complex samples to new heights.   
   
KEY TECHNOLOGIES   

Zeeman High Frequency Polarization Modulation (ZHFPM) background correction   

Simultaneous measurement of total and background absorptions provides accurate background correction even for complex sample matrices   

High intensity electrodeless discharge lamps (EDL) ensure lower detection limits compared to traditional hollow cathode lamps (HCL) and make possible direct As and Se determination at ppb and sub-ppb levels without hydride generation technique   

The stabilized temperature platform furnace (STPF) concept realized   

Instrument drifts arising from various sources e.g. spectral lamps, electronics, are effectively compensated by quasi-double beam optical system. No warm-up needed   

Cold Vapor / Hydride Generation technique available   

Noiseless operation and small size   
   

INDUSTRIES   
Graphite furnace atomic absorption spectroscopy (GFAAS) is an excellent solution for trace element analysis in various fields:   

Environmental monitoring   

Water treatment   

Food and Beverages   

Agriculture   

Pharmaceutics and Life science   

Medicine and Biochemistry   

Forensics and Clinical research   

Petrochemistry and Refineries   

Process control and Material analysis   

Science and Research   
   
For laboratories with low-moderate sample throughput, GFAAS secures optimal combination of high selectivity, sensitivity and low-cost analysis.   
   

HIGH ANALYTICAL PERFORMANCE   

Simple and direct analysis of samples with high salt and organic content including blood and biological fluids, sea water and brines, some food and soil digests, etc.   

Lower detection limits for the elements for which EDLs are available. Thus Sb, As, Bi, Cd, Pb, P, Se, Te, Tl, Sn and Zn can be determined in variety of complex samples without pre-concentration and hydride generation technique
