novAA® 800: a spectrometer designed for demanding laboratory routines
The novAA® 800 from Analytik Jena is an atomic absorption spectrometer (AAS) designed to offer a complete solution for laboratories that need to ensure a high level of reliability while controlling costs and optimising their analytical processes. This model integrates the three main analytical modes: flame, graphite furnace and hydride technique. Its modular design allows it to analyse both high-concentration elements and ultra-trace metals in simple and complex matrices.
One of the novAA® 800's strengths is its ability to handle moderate sample loads while ensuring stable and reproducible performance. Its compact, closed structure protects the optics from dust and moisture, while an air or argon purge system improves UV transmission and allows use in harsh environments. This robustness is covered by a ten-year manufacturer's warranty on the core of the system.
Ease of use has also been placed at the heart of the device's design. The ASpect LS software interface offers intuitive method development with automated functions such as burner height adjustment, atomiser change and preconfigured SOPs for each technique. The absorption and emission modes can be activated as required, while D2 background correction ensures reliable results even on complex samples.
The system is enhanced with high-performance accessories: the AS-F, AS-FD or AS-GF autosamplers ensure automatic dilution, precise dosing of modifiers and the use of reduced volumes. The integrated USB camera facilitates graphite furnace optimisation. The Scraper automatically cleans the burner head, improving safety and accuracy. The SFS 6.0 valve enables segmented injection with continuous rinsing, reducing cross-contamination and the risk of clogging in saline or rich matrices.
Thanks to these features, the novAA® 800 is a reliable partner in many fields: water analysis, heavy metals in soil, nutrient control in food products, precious metal detection in ores, and compliance testing in the pharmaceutical industry. It is a complete solution, designed to meet the daily challenges of a modern laboratory.
