Perkin Elmer AAnalyst 800 AS800 Spectrometer Autosampler - Tested, warranty

PerkinElmer AS-800 Autosampler 

The PerkinElmer AS-800 Autosampler is a high-precision, fully automated sample delivery system specifically developed for use with the AAnalyst 800 atomic absorption spectrometer. Designed to handle both flame and graphite furnace atomic absorption techniques, the AS-800 enhances throughput, accuracy, and laboratory efficiency in elemental analysis applications.

🔍 Key Features and Capabilities

🧪 Dual-Mode Operation

• Compatible with both flame and furnace AA analysis, providing seamless automation across modes without manual adjustments.

• The autosampler automatically adjusts sampling paths and procedures based on the method in use.

🧃 Large Sample Capacity

• Holds up to 146 samples in flame mode using standard 10 mL test tubes.

• Supports 88 samples in furnace mode, typically using 5 mL tubes.

• Includes positions for calibration standards, quality control samples, and rinse solutions.

🎯 Precision Pipetting and Sample Introduction

• Automated XYZ arm movement ensures precise and repeatable sample uptake.

• Supports aspiration volumes from 1 to 99 µL, ideal for both high and ultra-trace analysis.

• Volume settings and probe speed are software-adjustable to suit different sample types and matrices.

💧 Rinse and Carryover Control

• Built-in rinsing station flushes the sampling probe between each sample to minimize carryover.

• Programmable rinse times and flush volumes enhance contamination control—critical for trace metal analysis.

🔄 Automation of Routine Tasks

• Handles repeats, reruns, and standard additions without user intervention.

• Integrates with WinLab32 software for full instrument control, data acquisition, and real-time method execution.

• Supports complex sample sequences, including auto-dilutions, spiked samples, and control blanks.
