    No matter what the application, Varian AA

    systems deliver real productivityimprovements in flame AA. High productivitymeans reduced gas, reagent and lamp usage,and more results every day. Heres how:

    Fast Sequential AAAchieve the productivity and speed ofsequential ICP with Varians patented FastSequential* AA systems. By measuring allelements in each sample before moving tothe next one, Varians Fast Sequential (FS)AA280 and AA240 provide complete resultsin minutes.

    Determine your entire element suitewithout repeatedly aspirating samples

    Improve productivity by up to 50% byreducing the sample analysis delays

    Get full elemental coverage, no matterhow many elements you are determining

    Reduce sample consumption withless delays throughout analysis, less sampleis wasted

    Save labor and reduce running costs the more elements you determine,

    the greater your savings

    Improve precision and accuracy withonline internal standard corrections thiscorrects for physical differences, samplepreparation errors, or drift

    How does Fast Sequential AA work?1. Determination time is optimized as theFS wizard sorts the elements by wavelengthand flame type

    2. Optimum flame conditions are used foreach elemental determination the patentedHammer gas control** initiates instantaneouschanges to programmed flows and providessuperb reproducibility

    3. Reproducible wavelength positioning isachieved with minimal delays by the highspeed wavelength drive (2,000 nm/min)operating under intelligent software control

    4. Simultaneous operation of all lamps inFS mode

    5. Fast lamp selection using a motordriven mirror

    Real productivity improvements

    Conventional AAdetermines only oneelement at a time,so samples are analyzedtime and time againduring a multi-elementsequence (top).

    Using Fast Sequential AA,samples are onlyaspirated once and allelements are measuredbefore progressing tothe next sample (bottom).

    Varians integrated GTA120 and Zeeman

    GTA120 Graphite Tube Atomizers providesuperior furnace performance, no matterhow difficult the sample.

    Constant Temperature Zone designVarian's superior furnace performanceis achieved via the Constant TemperatureZone (CTZ). The furnace power supply ismatched to low thermal mass, end heatedgraphite tubes with optimized wallthickness. This ensures rapid, controlledand even heating, creating a CTZ centredaround the injection hole. Benefits of the

    CTZ design include: Extremely fast atomization even withdifficult sample matrices

    Best signal-to-noise characteristics,due to the long atom cell. This ensures thebest detection limits and sensitivities

    Excellent tube lifetimes and reducedmemory effects

    Accurate temperature control from403000 C during both fixed and rampedtemperature stages without using

    inaccurate optical temperature sensors Greater reproducibility, as heating ratesare software controlled to a maximum of2000 C/sec.

    The GTA120:

    Reduces running costs with extendedtube lifetimes and a 40% decrease in gasconsumption

    Allows real time viewing of the injectionzone using the optional built-in Tube-CAM.You can also capture still images or video

    the analysis Simplifies method development. Use Tube-CAM to accurately set the probe dispensingheight and confirm the optimum dryingand ashing temperatures

    Provides extended capacity for up to 135solutions with the PSD120 ProgrammableSample Dispenser

    Extends operation and reduce carouselchanges in laboratories with high sampleworkloads, using the high capacity carousel

    Eliminates method development withthe SRM Wizard. This automatically

    optimizes the furnace parameters andcreates a method utilizing therecommended conditions

    Automates preparation of calibrationstandards and standard additions spikes,performs automatic over range volumereduction and utlizes flexible dispensingoptions such as hot inject or multi-injectwith the sophisticated sampling ofthe PSD120

    Ensures reduced analytical cycle timesas the autosampler is synchronized with

    furnace operation solutions are collectedwhile the furnace is in operation

    Provides operator friendly fumeextraction during furnace operation usingthe optional fume extraction system

    Provides flexible programming withup to 20 temperature steps and choice ofgas type and flow

    Enables simple and rapid change-overfrom flame to furnace

    Achieving accurate Zeeman background correction

    What is the Zeeman effect?The Zeeman effect is the splitting andpolarization of atomic spectral lines in thepresence of a magnetic field. The magneticfield has little effect on molecular speciesand particulates that can cause backgroundabsorption. The Zeeman technique usesthe magnetic field to achieve accuratebackground correction. With the magnet off,the total absorbance is measured. Once themagnetic field is applied to the atomizer,the spectral profile is split and only thebackground absorbance is measured.

    The background absorbance (magnet on)is then subtracted from the totalabsorbance (magnet off) to determine theatomic absorbance.

    Varians Zeeman solutionVarian Zeeman systems feature thetransverse AC modulated Zeemanconfiguration with the field applied acrossthe atomizer. This avoids the sensitivitylosses observed with a DC (permanent)magnet, and maximizes light throughoutcompared with longitudinal designs where

    end caps restrict the light passing throughthe pole pieces of the magnet. Variansunique magnetic waveform provides adelay time of less than 5 ms betweenmeasurements and collects 100/120 datapoints every second (at 50/60 Hz).

    The principle of the

    transverse (AC) Zeemantechnique.

    Magnet Off the totalabsorbance is measured.

    Magnet On Zeemansplitting of the atomicabsorption profileoccurs and the polarizerexcludes the central picomponent. This allowsonly backgroundabsorbance to bemeasured at the exactanalytical wavelength.

    A typical backgroundsignal is shown (black).Varians 100/120 Hzmodulation andpolynomial interpolationwith twice as manymeasurements providesimproved correction(red). Errors are muchhigher when usingconventional linearinterpolation(bracketing) at mainsfrequency (blue).

    Varian Zeemansystems use threepoint polynomialinterpolations toaccurately track thebackground signal,resulting in an 11-foldimprovement incorrection accuracy.
