The Macylab AA-1800F is a dedicated Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer designed for reliable trace elemental analysis. Operating in the 190nm to 900nm wavelength range, it utilizes a flame atomization system to support quantitative analysis of metallic elements in various sample matrices.
Built upon a 20mm double cast aluminum plate and featuring an 1800 lines/mm large area grating monochromator, the instrument maintains strict optical alignment and baseline stability. It is equipped with a ≤3-lamp automatic turret and incorporates specialized Burner Deflection Technology, making it a highly practical analytical tool for laboratories focusing on flame-based element detection.
Key Features
Burner Deflection Technology: Specifically equipped on this flame model. When testing high-concentration elements, the burner’s angle can be manually adjusted to reduce absorbance. This permits testing of concentrations up to 20 times higher without requiring excessive sample dilution, thereby reducing dilution errors.
Automatic 3-Lamp Turret: Features a ≤3-socket configuration with automatic alignment. Lamp position No. 3 is specifically configured to support high-performance dual-cathode hollow lamps for enhanced analytical sensitivity.
High-Precision Lead Screw Drive: Utilizes a four-subdivision screw drive mechanism. The wavelength step accuracy reaches 0.005nm, which supports a high 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 that resists acid, alkali, and hydrofluoric acid, paired with a highly efficient glass atomizer.
Automated Gas & Ignition Control: Integrates an automatic gas control system and microcomputer-controlled automatic ignition for reliable and repeatable flame operation.

Who is it for?
Quality Control Laboratories: QC departments in chemical and metallurgical manufacturing plants that perform routine, high-volume testing of elements in the ppm range.
Environmental Testing Agencies: Water treatment facilities and environmental monitoring stations that require a dedicated flame AAS for standard compliance testing.
Academic and Research Institutions: University laboratories needing a stable, easy-to-operate flame spectrophotometer for teaching and material analysis.
Why choose it?
High-Concentration Adaptability: The inclusion of Burner Deflection Technology allows operators to quickly adapt the instrument for high-concentration samples, saving significant time typically spent on manual dilution procedures.
Structural Stability: The optical path system is fixed on a 20mm thick double cast aluminum plate with a “well” shape support. This structural design resists thermal deformation and helps maintain optical alignment during transportation and long-term operation.
Certified Qualifications: The instrument complies with major international product qualifications and safety standards, holding certifications including the European CE mark, North American ETL, FCC, RoHS, China CQC, and 3C.
Packaging, Installation & Operation
Packaging & Shipping
After unpacking the instrument, compare the contents with the packing list and check that all items are present and undamaged.
Installation & Setup
Place the spectrophotometer in a suitable location away from direct sunlight, dust, corrosive gases, and strong vibrations. For stable operation, keep it away from strong magnetic or electrical fields and electrical devices that may generate high-frequency fields.
Keep the area around and underneath the instrument clear to allow adequate airflow.
Use the appropriate power cord and connect the instrument to a grounded outlet.
Initial Operation
Turn on the spectrophotometer and allow it to warm up for the recommended time before taking measurements. Follow the instrument’s operating instructions to complete any required system initialization, calibration, or wavelength verification before measurement.
