Used AGILENT AA280Z #293596202 for sale

AGILENT AA280Z is a spectrometer designed specifically for quantitative analysis of trace metals in liquid, steam, and aerosol samples. Utilizing inductively coupled plasma/mass spectroscopy (ICP/MS) and a high-pressure nitrogen atomization chamber, AA280Z offers a high level of accuracy and precision in the detection of elements. The instrument also has a graphical interface, which is used to display data in real-time, allowing for easier qualitative and quantitative data interpretation. The basis of the ICP/MS system is a high-powered argon plasma source, which 'atomizes' samples into a population of ions and radicals. These are then detected by an array of detectors and mass selected by a quadrupole mass spectrometer. Two types of detectors are used on AGILENT AA280Z—an electric sector detector, which is used to detect singly charged ions, and a Faraday cup/multi-collector, which is used to detect multiply charged ions. This combination of detectors provides the user with both simultaneous lower detection limits (low ppm and ppb) and high resolution (ppm and ppb). AA280Z has a wide range of applications, including environmental, clinical, and industrial applications. It can be used to measure elements ranging from Li to U and stable isotopes, as well as non-metals such as S, Cl, and Br. It also has an integrated atomizer, which allows users to atomize samples without the need for external pumps, gas bottles, or piped-lab water. This makes it ideal for working in restrictive or remote locations since there is no need for external components. In terms of its data output capabilities, AGILENT AA280Z offers both a graphical interface and a spreadsheet format. Data can be both printed and exported in ASCII format for use in outside applications. The instrument also includes a range of automated data integrity checks, ensuring that the data collected is accurate and reliable. Overall, AA280Z is a robust and reliable spectrometer for the analysis of trace metals and non-metals. It offers high resolution, accurate results, and a graphic user interface for ease of interpreting data. For laboratories dealing with liquid, steam, and aerosol samples, AGILENT AA280Z is an excellent choice.
