M&S Series Atomic Absorption Systems Thermo M5 AA Performance Specifications

Thermo Electron Corporation's Atomic Absorption Range offers revolutionary stylish and fully automatic AA

Spectrometers, coupled with intelligent accessories capable of outstanding performance.

M Series Dual Atomizer Systems

The concept of the M Series is simplicity itself. Using a Stockdale double beam Echelle optical system means

that each beam passes through a separate atomizer. The user defines which is the sample beam and hence which

atomizer will be used. As a result flame to furnace changeover can be fully automatic and take place

unattended. Productivity is significantly enhanced and performance guaranteed.

S Series Single Atomizer Systems

The radical S Series instruments offer the highest levels of multi-element productivity and reduced cost of

ownership for no compromise, single atomizer analysis. Standard features include QuadLine background

correction, double beam optics, Universal inert burner, furnace and burner auto-optimization, plus full QC

protocols.

Mi and Si Spectrometers

Enhanced M and S Series AA Spectrometers with added Intelligence. Choosing the Mi or Sispectrometer gives

you a truly unique instrument that is capable of Intelligent Spectrometer Qualification (iSQ). The iSQ module

and dedicated software automatically tests the spectrometer hardware performance and can be set to perform the

tests even before you arrive in the lab. Arrive in the morning to find an iSQ report confirming that you're good

to go!

S Series

Automatic Atomic Absorption Spectrometer system, with full multi-element capability, controlled with a data

station running SOLAAR software under Windows®. Flame absorption /emission systems are extendible


of 23

to Graphite Furnace, Vapour or Mercury Cold Vapour absorption modes by ordering the appropriate accessory

atomizer.

M Series

Automatic Dual Sample Compartment Atomic Absorption System, with full multielement capability, controlled

by a data station running SOLAAR software under Windows®. Flame absorption /emission systems can be

extended to Graphite Furnace, Vapour or Mercury Cold Vapour absorption modes by ordering the appropriate

accessory atomizer. The MQZ and MQZe spectrometers must be ordered with a Zeeman Graphite Furnace to

provide a working system. Optical system All systems (except the MQZ) are supplied with Stockdale double

beam optics giving maximum signal-to-noise ratio during signal measurement. All mirrors are silica coated,

and the optics are sealed against dust ingress. The self-calibrating Ebert (S Series) or Echelle (M Series)

monochromator provides automatic wavelength and bandpass set-up. The high energy QuadLine background

correction system corrects for up to 2A of background with less than 2 % error, and is fitted as standard to all

instruments. AA Series spectrometers are fitted with a 6 position data-coded, auto aligning lamp carousel, with

6 independent power supplies modulated at 200/240 Hz. With the carousel, automatic analyses of up to 16

elements in a single method are possible. The standard range photomultiplier covers the wavelength range from

185 nm to 760 nm, with a wide range option covering 180 nm to 900 nm. GFTV is an option on all systems.

Flame System

All AA flames are supported by the Universal 50 mm titanium burner with chamfered slot design giving high

solids handling, excellent flame stability and low carbon build-up. The burner height is automatically

adjustable, and controls are provided for the burner rotation and transverse position. An optional 100 mm burner

for air/acetylene flames is also available. Automatic flame ignition is provided by a high tension electric spark.

Flame systems are controlled by either a fully automatic gas control system (S4 and M Series) or a semi-

automatic gas control system (S2). The S4 automatic gas control system uses programmable array state logic

and binary flow switching technology for reliability. Oxidant gas changeover, and fuel and oxidant flow rates

are software controlled and interlocked to prevent operation with incorrect burners and gas flows. With the

S2 semi-automatic gas system, the fuel flow rate is controlled by a precision needle valve and rotameter display.

Oxidant changeover and fuel gas flow boost are software controlled, and the burner interlock ensures

burner/flame compatibility. On both systems, a flame sensor, responding to all flame types including hydrogen

fuelled flames, ensures safe gas handling if the flame goes out. All fuel gas lines are fitted with flame arrestors,

and with pressure sensors to provide automatic safe shutdown if the line pressure falls below the safe limits.

Both gas control systems shut down safely if the power fails. The totally enclosed, draught proof “kitchen” area

has a safety door containing a heat and UV absorbing window. The inert fluoroplastic spray chamber contains

an inert adjustable impact bead and flow spoiler, and low memory hydrophilic disc chamber front end. It has

built in over pressure relief and automatic empty drain protection. The standard spray chamber configuration is

suitable for all flame types. The inert nebulizer with a Pt/Ir capillary and PTFE venturi is standard and is factory

optimized.

Graphite Furnace Systems S Series

The GFS97 Integrated Graphite Furnace and Furnace Autosampler can be fitted without removing the spray

chamber or disconnecting the gas lines.

M Series

All Graphite Furnaces are fitted in the RH Sample Compartment of the M Series Spectrometers. The M5

Spectrometers will accept the GF95 Graphite Furnace, while the M6, MQZ and MQZe Spectrometers will


of 23

accept the GF95Z Zeeman Graphite Furnace. The GF95Z Zeeman furnace is mounted on a prealigned Tilt

Mount, which can be tilted forward out of the sample compartment to allow access to the furnace for

maintenance purposes, and to allow other accessories to be fitted into the sample compartment. The

GF95 Furnace is fitted with a pre-aligned Fixed Mount as standard, but can be optionally fitted with the Tilt

Mount if required. The FS95 Graphite Furnace Autosampler is mounted in front of the RH Sample

Compartment with a simple self-locating 'push in' mount.Graphite Furnace TeleVision (GFTV) Optional on all

AA Series Spectrometers, the GFTV accessory provides high definition images of events inside the Graphite

Furnace cuvette, allowing monitoring of the sample injection, dry and ash phases of the furnace program. A

CCD camera mounted in the instrument produces live video for display on the Data Station's screen through the

GFTV Software and Interface Kit, or on an external monitor. The external monitor should be monochrome,

PAL compatible with a minimum screen resolution of 400 lines, and a coaxial video cable with BNC plug for

connection to the spectrometer.

Electronics

Spectrometer electronics are based on the Motorola 68340 microprocessor, with the system firmware residing in

Flash PROM. Firmware can be downloaded to the Flash PROM from an external PC without removing any

covers. Interfacing to the Data Station, autosamplers, furnace and associated accessories is via RS232C at 9600

baud. The vapour system is interfaced via a dedicated 8 pin socket.

Data Station Control

The spectrometer system and accessories are controlled via a Data Station running the SOLAAR AA Software

Package under the Microsoft Windows® 98SE, Me, NT v4, 2000 or XP operating systems. The Data Station is

a Personal Computer, with a typical configuration of: 800 MHz Pentium processor or equivalent. 128MB RAM.

Graphite Furnace Cuvettes

Normal (Electro graphite) Cuvettes

Description: The normal cuvette is made from a form of graphite called electrographite. This cuvette is suitable

for the determination of volatile elements such as Pb, and Cd in simple matrices, such as clean waters.

(Pyrolytically) Coated Electro graphite Cuvettes

Description: This coated cuvette is a modified electrographite cuvette, coated with a thin layer of pyrolytic

graphite. Coated cuvettes are required for the carbide forming, mediumvolatile and refractory elements and for

samples with complex high salt matrices.

Extended Lifetime Cuvettes (ELC)

Description: ELC's are unique to Thermo and have a pyrolytic coating that is up to 10 times thicker than the

standard coating. This gives them more stable performance and much longer useful lifetimes than either of the

electrographite-based cuvettes. These cuvettes are especially recommended for high throughout analyses with

complex samples and when measuring the most refractory elements.

Omega Platform Extended Lifetime

Description: Omega platform cuvettes have an integrated L'Vov platform built into the cuvettes, which

makes them particularly suitable for determining the more volatile elements in heavy matrices where vapour

phase interferences cause severe problems. The integral platform is designed to accommodate up to 50 µL

volumes and so can provide excellent concentration limits. The Omega cuvettes use the ELC coating

technology and have similar long, stable lifetime characteristics.
