Instrument Technical Description and Major Specifications
(This Specifications Limited to Major 5)

 

          Wavelength Range: 190–900 nm

          Spectral Bandwidth: 0.2, 0.7, 1.4 nm

          Flame Types: Air-Acetylene / Nitrous Oxide-Acetylene

          Lamp Mount: 8-position auto-switching

 

Measurement/Sample specifications:

          Sample State: Liquid (acid-digested)

          Volume Required: 2–5 mL (flame)

          Pre-Preparation: Acid digestion (HNO₃/HCl) for solids

          Detection Elements: Pb, Cd, Cu, Zn, Fe, etc.

 

Type of Sample Required for Analysis / Testing (Quantity, Pre-Preparation, State etc.)
 

 


        Quantity:

o  Minimum 20 mL of liquid sample per element (filtered through 0.2 μm filter)

o  Volume may vary based on expected concentration

        Pre-Preparation:

o  Samples must be acid-digested (e.g., HNO₃/HCl) if solid/sludge

o  Filtered (0.2 μm) to remove particulates

o  pH-adjusted if necessary (e.g., for preservation)

        State:

o  Liquid only (aqueous matrix preferred)

o  No organic solvents without prior consultation

Guidelines for Sample Submission
 

 


        Standards Required for Quantitative Analysis

o  Provide certified standards for each target element.

o  Each element & standard counts as a separate sample (charged accordingly).

o  If standards are not provided, only absorbance values will be reported (no quantification).

        Sample Processing

o  All samples (standards + unknowns) processed using client-provided method.

o  Raw data only will be provided (no advanced data interpretation).

        Minimum Sample Requirement

o  Batch processing: Minimum 20 total samples (standards + unknowns) per run.

o  Smaller batches may incur additional charges.

        Submission Notes

o  Label samples clearly with element(s) of interest and expected concentration range.

o  Hazardous samples (e.g., HF-containing) require prior approval.
