The Macylab AA-1800C is an automatic Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer designed for elemental analysis. Operating in the 190nm to 900nm wavelength range, it utilizes a dedicated flame atomization system for high-sensitivity trace elemental testing.
Built upon a 20mm double cast aluminum plate and featuring a large 1800 lines/mm grating monochromator, the instrument maintains reliable optical alignment. Equipped with a ≤6-lamp automatic turret and incorporating specialized Burner Deflection Technology, the AA-1800C provides laboratories with an efficient setup for handling diverse concentration ranges in flame-based testing.
Key Features
Burner Deflection Technology: Specifically equipped on this flame model. When testing high-concentration elements, the burner’s angle can be adjusted manually to reduce absorbance, allowing testing of higher concentrations without requiring extensive sample dilution.
Automatic 6-Lamp Turret: Features a ≤6-socket configuration with independent power supplies, allowing for simultaneous preheating and automatic alignment. Lamp positions No. 5 and No. 6 are configured to support high-performance dual-cathode hollow lamps.
High-Precision Lead Screw Drive: Employs a four-subdivision screw drive mechanism. The wavelength step accuracy reaches 0.005nm, which supports a wavelength repeatability of ±0.1nm.
Dual Background Correction: Equipped with two background correction methods: the D2 (Deuterium Lamp) method and the SR (High-Speed Self-Absorption) method to manage interference from complex sample matrices.
Corrosion-Resistant Flame System: Features an explosion-proof polymer spray chamber paired with an efficient glass atomizer and a full titanium combustion head.
Automated Gas & Ignition Control: Integrates a microcomputer-controlled automatic gas control system that automatically performs safety ignition and extinction to support reproducible flame operation.
