Agilent - Atomic Absorption Spectrometers - G8432AA

The Agilent G8432AA is the Agilent 240FS AA (Fast Sequential) atomic absorption spectrometer. It is a flame atomic absorption system designed for routine multi‑element analysis in high‑throughput labs (environmental, food, agriculture and similar applications), using Fast Sequential operation to measure multiple elements from a single aspiration. Manufacturer and authorized‑distributor materials describe features such as automatic lamp selection, D2 background correction and compatibility with Agilent sample‑introduction accessories to streamline flame and vapor analyses.

Key Features:

• Model / part number: Agilent 240FS AA, G8432AA
• Technique: Fast Sequential Flame Atomic Absorption (AAS)
• Wavelength range: 185–900 nm
• Lamp support/selection: automatic lamp selection; support for up to four hollow cathode lamps
• Instrument size & weight: 79 × 58 × 59 cm; approximately 56 kg
• Sensitivity example: typically >0.9 Abs from 5 mg/L Cu (manufacturer data point)

Advantages:

• Fast Sequential mode doubles throughput by measuring multiple elements in a single aspiration, reducing run time per sample.
• Reduced sample consumption and lower gas use through rapid sequencing and optimized sample aspiration.
• PROMT/read‑time optimization (manufacturer feature) shortens read times while maintaining required precision, improving productivity.
• Automatic lamp selection and built‑in background correction simplify setup and improve accuracy for routine multi‑element workflows.
