Product Description
Standard Features
The 210/211 is shipped ready for use. All operating conditions are pre-loaded in the internal computer, including lamp settings, secondary wavelengths, and alternate methods of analysis for over 60 elements by flame, furnace, or hydride techniques. The three lamp turret has individual controls for alignment and standby mode to keep lamps warm. Direct report generation to a printer or data linking to the optional Buck Analyst software package is easily done using the parallel and RS-232 serial ports.
Analytical Performance
The Buck 210/211 is a high energy, microprocessor controlled single beam
atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Solid state electronics and simple optics provide the basis for our superior stability and sensitivity. The
Ebert mount monochromator and user-selectable bandwidth give the system maximum flexibility. Our short-path dynamic nebulizer/burner
configuration is highly efficient. An inert needle, precisely positioned in a
high flow venturi, delivers sample to the corrosion proof impact bead. This results in a tremendously high nebulization effect for all types of sample matrices.
Precision Metal Element AnalysisThe 210VGP delivers accurate and reproducible quantitative measurements of metals, such as lead, copper, zinc, and cadmium, in diverse samples. Utilizing fully automated features and advanced optics, the instrument ensures sub-ppm sensitivity with a reliability of < 0.5% RSD. Its programmable slit widths and efficient background correction further optimize analytical performance for trace element investigation.
Integrated Analytical Software and Automated ControlEquipped with user-friendly software, the spectrophotometer automates calibration, result computation, and data archiving, enhancing workflow efficiency. The LCD digital display presents critical operational parameters in real time, enabling users to monitor analysis and system safety. Data output via RS232 and USB simplifies record-keeping and integration with laboratory information systems.
Safety and Robust DesignThe instrument combines a corrosion-resistant titanium burner head and high-efficiency nebulizer with essential safety features such as automatic gas leakage detection and flameout protection. Air-cooled operation and acid-resistant metal housing boost durability and promote safe, continuous use under demanding laboratory conditions. Its compact dimensions and manageable weight suit a broad array of laboratory settings.
