Burner System Components for Optimal
An efficient burner system is essential for obtaining optimal
performance from your AA instrument, and proper maintenance
is required to obtain precise and accurate determinations.
Burner System Component Features
■
100% titanium burner heads, an exclusive PerkinElmer feature
that provides maximum corrosion resistance when analyzing any
type of sample
■
Burner chambers constructed of inert, wettable plastic to allow for
proper drainage of excess sample and to prevent burner carryover
of previous analyses
■
Multivaned flow spoilers remove large sample droplets from the
nebulized spray and reduce susceptibility to analytical interference
■
Gaskets designed for use with aqueous and organic samples.
Choose from rubber O-rings for aqueous solutions or Corkprene or
KALREZ
®
gaskets for organic solutions

Burner Heads
There are four burner heads available for use with the burner system.
They are all made of solid titanium, which is corrosion resistant and
free of most of the elements commonly determined by atomic absorption.
Single-slot Nitrous Oxide-acetylene 5 cm
The 5 cm nitrous oxide burner head is required for nitrous oxide-acetylene
operation. This burner head can also be used with air-acetylene or
rotated to provide reduced sensitivity.
Part No.
N0400100
Single-slot Air-acetylene 10 cm
The 10 cm burner head is designed to be used with the air-acetylene
flame. Because of its long burner path length, it provides the best
sensitivity for air-acetylene elements.
Part No.
N0400102
Single-slot Air-acetylene 5 cm
A 5 cm air-acetylene burner head is available for applications in which
reduced sensitivity is required. It can be rotated to provide further
sensitivity reduction, and it has a wide slot to prevent clogging.
Part No.
N0400101
Three-slot Air-acetylene 10 cm
The three-slot burner head is designed to be used when analyzing
samples with high concentrations of dissolved solids. The three-slot
burner head is not compatible with some older gas control systems.
Part No.
N0400103
