Graphite furnace (240Z/280Z AA) GTA 120 Graphite Tube Atomizer features Constant Temperature
Zone design for rapid atomization and reduced interferences.

Temperature Control with cooling water temperature compensation for enhanced temperature
accuracy without external sensors. Up to 20 temperature steps per program with temperature
programmable from 40–3000 °C. Heating rate is software-controlled with maximum ramp rate of
2000 °C/s. Choice of two inert gases with computer-controlled fl ows. Separate internal and external
gas fl ows. Internal fl ow is softwarecontrolled over range 0–0.3 L/min. Fixed external gas fl ow of 0.5
L/min. with computer-controlled boost fl ow of 3.0 L/min during atomization. Two stage external fl
ows reduce gas consumption and improve tube lifetimes. Typical tube lifetimes exceed 5000 fi rings
for Cu using an atomization temperature of 2300 °C.

Furnace autosampling (240Z/280Z AA) PSD 120 Programmable Sample Dispenser provides capacity
for up to 50 samples in 2 mL microvials, plus fi ve central 10 mL vessels for blank, standard and
modifi ers. Automatically prepares up to a 10 point concentration or standard additions calibration
from one bulk standard.

Dispensing volume variable from 1–70 μL with < 1% repeatability (5–70 μL).
