			Capabilities Single element analysis of aqueous solutions, with few spectral interferences Can sequentially analyze up to six elements in a single sample solution aspiration Especially sensitive for alkali metals, also good sensitivity for most transition metals Can analyze organic solvents directly, for example wear metals in oil dissolved in MIBK amples may be in powder, chip, granule, turning, or thin sheet form Method accuracy and precision 3-5% relative Dynamic range from parts per million to low weight percent Instrumentation: Perkin-Elmer Model 5000 Air-acetylene or nitrous oxide-acetylene flame source Operates in absorption or emission mode Double-beam operation with deuterium (UV) or tungsten halide (visible) background correction Six lamp turret with storage of up to six element programs Automatic burner control of fuel-oxidant ratio   Above: Perkin-Elmer Model 5000   + Return to the Analytical Chemistry page...
