Photron's Superlamp(PAT) High Intensity Sharp Line Source for AAS and AFS Spectroscopy
The Super Lamp is particularly recommended for the following determinations in Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy:
- Elements with resonance spectra in the far UV where instrumental efficiency is reduced. e.g. Arsenic & Selenium.
- Elements with complex spectra where the enhanced resonances line reduces the interference of background radiation, allowing the use of wide slit widths further reducing signal to noise. e.g. Nickel & Iron
- For determinations at or near the detection limit, in some cases a 10 fold improvement in detection limited can be achieved.
- This lamp produces intense spectra with narrow line widths
Super Lamps are also used in Atomic Fluorescence Spectroscopy.
