Thermo Electron has launched its new Intelligent Atomic Absorption Spectrometers that can automatically test and confirm hardware performance prior to any analytical run.
 Thermo’s new Si and Mi spectrometers, an extension to the company’s AA Series portfolio, were showcased at PITTCON 2006 in Orlando Florida last week.
The spectrometers incorporate unique Intelligent Spectrometer Qu ali fication (ISQ). They cannot only reduce the chances of having to re-run samples but also increase confidence in the qu ali ty and v ali dity of the analytical data produced.
Benefiting from a pre-programmable “wake-up” option, the ISQ software allows the tests to be carried out even before the operator arrives in the lab.
These instruments will benefit high throughput elemental analysis laboratories in the environmental, food and beverage, petrochemical and metallurgy industries where the time and cost of rerunning samples due to potential instrument faults can be most crucial.
Clinical laboratories, which may be sample limited will also benefit from the new spectrometers as well as customers who are new to AA analysis.
Thermo’s groundbreaking Si and Mi AA spectrometers bring added intelligence to the standard S and M Series AA spectrometers. Consisting of a unique motorized filter wheel ISQ module is mounted in the instrument providing automated system performance checks including wavelength accuracy, photometric stability, monochromator resolution and D2 background correction accuracy.
In addition, the ISQ module performs lamp peaking and beam selector movement tests, while in the case of Zeeman instruments it performs polarizer orientation and repeatability tests.
