The Avanta Ultra Z offers the greatest dynamic range and best detection limits of any zeeman-effect atomic absorption spectrometer. Detection limits that even out perform all axial ICP-OES instruments for crucial elements such as As, Se, Pb, Tl and Sb.

In addition, the Avanta Ultra Z offers the further benefits of reduced operating costs and enhanced productivity. Analyse your samples once and minimize your analysis costs.

This system offers nothing less than unprecedented ease-of-use and superior performance.

GBC Scientific Equipment introduces the latest Atomic Absorption Spectrometer, the SensAA. The SensAA is new in every aspect from the ground up - from its performance to its looks and functionality. It may be our low cost AAS but its performace exceeds many top of the range products in the marketplace.

PERFORMANCE
By improving the optics and electronics design the wavelength has been extended (175 to 900 nm). The D2 range has also been extended (175 to 423 nm) thereby enabling more elements to be analyzed using D2 background correction. The slit width is now adjustable from 0.1 to 2.0 nm in 0.1 increments thus effectively allowing 20 slit width settings with normal slit height plus 20 slit width settings with reduced slit height.
The SensAA series sets new pre-requisites wth the new Hyper-Pulse Background Correction that allows for more accurate interpolation of "Transient SIgnals" such as GF and HSA 3000 signals. The new GCM (gas control modeule) is fully interlocked with the new fully integrated Spray chamber/liquid trap for added safety.
The heart of the SensAA is the patented Application Source which addresses new levels of performance, simplicity and cost savings in AA spectrometry.

The SensAA offers touch screen technology and true uncompromised multi-element analysis, returning the highest integrity in results at a fraction of the cost of traditional means. Designed around simplicity, users no longer need to change lamps when changing elements, enabling seamless operation. Application Source offers dramatic savings in source lamp costs and the high intensity D2 lamp offers unrivalled lifetime performance with enhanced operation of up to 1000 hours, even at full current.

FUNCTIONALITY
The SensAA is supplied with an inbuilt P4 computer and touch screen technology. A large 15" colour screen allows clarity of use and also ease of inputting data and executing commands to the SensAA software. No more keyboards or mouse wires to get tangled with acidic sample solutions. Point and analyze! An inbuilt software keyboard is also available where text is required to be entered by using standard Windows XP as the operating system then any Windows software package can also be loaded into the SensAA further extending its fuctionality. As always GBC AAS accessories are interchangeable and can be used on the SensAA.

LOOKS
The SensAA has a smaller foot print than the 932 spectrometer it supersedes. Add to this space saving the fact that the computer is already included inside the SensAA and the result is significant bench spacing. You can have 2 SensAAs in the space where 1 AAS and computer would sit.

A retractable sample holder is also been included free of charge.

The SensAA - Sensitive to the Touch, Sensitive to Your Environment, Sensitive to Your Analysis

Industrial laboratories are about to encounter the latest phase in atomic absorption technology. Noted manufacturer, GBC Scientific Equipment has launched the next step in leading edge spectrometry instruments. Included in this new series, a purpose-built model for mining and corrosive environments—the ProspectorPlus.
Employing a patented light source technology, the ProspectorPlus addresses new levels of performance, simplicity and cost savings. The patented Application Source is configured to provide line spectra for specific applications in fields such as environmental, mining and petroleum. In addition, the Application Source can be configured to meet the customer's specific requirement.

Simplicity is a key to this instrument. With a flick of the wrist the user selects the next element and continues with their work-it's that easy and truly seamless. While providing a unique user interface, the Application Source also offers dramatic savings in source lamp costs and the high intensity D2 lamp offers enhanced operation of up to 1000 hours, even at full current. In addition, the ProspectorPlus has provision for conventional hollow cathode lamps, enabling laboratories to deplete surplus stock.

It goes without saying, the ProspectorPlus offers stringent specifications for harsh environments. The design of the instruments body ensures total protection from attack in corrosive, humid or dust-filled environments. To guarantee its longevity, specialised seals protect against dust, vapour and liquid spillage.

Featuring the newest innovation in AA technology combined with its rugged design, the ProspectorPlus will meet any challenge. For further information, please contact us.

All current GBC AA spectrometers can be operated via the powerful Windows® 95/98/NT based Avanta software package (which is also available as an upgrade to the 906, 908 and 909 AAS range). Reflecting a deep understanding of user requirements, Avanta software offers unmatched power and capability, with a simplified graphical interface. Analytical features include calibration with up to ten standards, using exact fit curve correction, least squares, linear least squares, standards addition or bracketing standards. Complete quality controls include check samples, spike recoveries, calibration failure, and QC limits.

Meeting the needs of verification and validation processes, the Avanta software includes full compliance with requirements for electronic records and signatures. Full auditable activity histories are recorded for good management practices.

Other powerful features include comprehensive report writing, quality control protocols and simplified networking capabilities. Full use is made of the multi-tasking facilities of Windows® 95/98/NT to dramatically increase laboratory productivity.
