Thermo Scientific™ iCE™ 3500 Flame and Graphite Furnace AAS Atomic Absorption Spectrometer

The Thermo Scientific™ iCE™ 3500 Atomic Absorption Spectrometer (AAS) offers unrivaled performance, flexibility, and simplicity for atomic absorption analysis. Featuring a dual atomizer design, the system allows for safe, software-controlled switching between flame and furnace analysis with a single mirror movement. This combination of innovative design and high precision optics ensures low detection limits and long-term analytical stability.

The iCE 3500 AAS features double beam optics, an Echelle monochromator, and Quadline deuterium background correction (guaranteed performance), ensuring consistent and accurate results. Additionally, the flame atomizer incorporates a 50 mm titanium burner, providing enhanced solids capability and improved efficiency. The furnace atomizer includes the GFTV furnace vision system, offering high-definition, real-time video of the inside of the cuvette, simplifying method development and increasing efficiency.

Maximize Productivity:

• Unattended, automated analysis with fully configurable auto-sampler allows the system to run without requiring constant operator supervision.
• Software-controlled changeover between flame and furnace analysis, with no need for manual intervention, even in operator-absent environments.
• SOLAAR software offers robust support with wizards, optimization routines, and automated performance controls.
• Six lamp auto-aligning carousel maximizes light throughput, ensuring optimal performance in high-throughput applications.

Gain Cost Efficiency:

• Extended Lifetime Cuvettes (ELC) significantly reduce consumable costs, allowing the use of cuvettes for thousands of firings.
• The system uses micro-liters of sample, minimizing consumable consumption and improving cost efficiency.
• Gas flow controls with intelligent software reduce gas usage, helping to cut costs.

Advanced Performance and Flexibility:

• The dual atomizer design allows the furnace to be permanently aligned and ready for use, providing seamless transition between flame and furnace modes.
• D2 background correction for both flame and furnace analysis comes as standard, ensuring high accuracy.
• The Zeeman background correction for furnace work is available with the optional Thermo Scientific™ GFS35Z™ furnace upgrade.
• The double beam optics system with dual monochromators (Echelle prism and grating) ensures high sensitivity and precise measurement.
• The wide-range photomultiplier detects wavelengths from 180 to 900 nm, ensuring broad spectral analysis.
