Lenthor Engineering Installs PerkinElmer AAnalyst 50
Lenthor Engineering, a California-based designer, manufacturer and assembler of rigid-flex and flex PCBs and EMS, has purchased and installed a PerkinElmer AAnalyst 50 Double-Beam Atomic Absorption Spectrometer. Lenthor installed the AAnalyst in June 2009.
"We're very happy with the AAnalyst," said Mark Lencioni, President of Lenthor Engineering. "The double-beam technology gives us a shorter warm-up time and provides a big help when we're analyzing numerous samples."
The AAnalyst 50 comes with a background corrector and a complete safety interlock system. The background corrector is designed to save operator time and provide confidence in the results, while the safety interlocks system contributes to the safe operation of the spectrometer. The instrument features a mechanism to automatically power off in a safe sequence when any safety interlock is compromised, such as during a sudden loss of power or drop in gas pressure. The system also checks and verifies the safe and proper installation of the sample introduction components each time the instrument starts.
The AAnalyst 50 also includes PerkinElmer's dual option burner and sample introduction system, durable and sensitive components included in the other AAnalyst atomic absorption spectrometers. The sample introduction system consists of an inert polymer spray chamber, which can accommodate corrosive and high solids matrices, as well as titanium burner heads that can be easily installed without the need for tools.
