PerkinElmer PinAAcle 900: a powerhouse for atomic analysis
The PinAAcle 900 from PerkinElmer is the go-to solution in atomic absorption spectrometry thanks to its unique combination of technological innovation, reliability and flexibility. This system has been designed to meet the most stringent laboratory requirements for elemental analysis, whether for environmental, clinical, pharmaceutical or industrial applications.
This spectrometer stands out for its compact architecture and stacked design, which integrates flame and graphite furnace modules in a single chassis. This design significantly reduces bench space while maintaining optimal analytical performance. The PinAAcle 900 can be configured as a flame, furnace-only or combined version, with deuterium or longitudinal Zeeman background correction technologies , ensuring precise adaptation to each sample matrix.
Its optical platform is based on the latest generation of optical fibres, optimising light transmission and achieving the best detection limits available. Thanks to its true dual-beam system, long-term stability is ensured without the need for frequent recalibration, even for long or complex analyses.
In graphite furnace mode, PerkinElmer's proprietary STPF (Stabilised Temperature Platform Furnace) technology significantly reduces matrix effects. The integration of the TubeView camera facilitates autosampler tip alignment, drying monitoring and the development of faster and more accurate methods. Combined with the AS 900 autosampler, the system becomes an automated analytical workstation capable of analysing up to 148 samples with full random access.
One of the strengths of the PinAAcle 900 is its Syngistix software for AA, with its intuitive, workflow-oriented design. It facilitates configuration, method creation, quality control, analysis and reporting, while complying with regulatory compliance standards such as 21 CFR Part 11. It also offers instrument tracking, an intelligent method editor , development wizards and a real-time data viewer.
PerkinElmer also offers a wide range of accessories for the PinAAcle 900, including specific nebulisers, Lumina™ hollow cathode lamps, electrodeless discharge lamps (EDL), and specialised systems such as FIAS and MHS-15 for mercury and hydride analysis. These elements enhance the system's modularity and power, ensuring full adaptability to a wide range of analytical protocols.
The PinAAcle 900 combines performance, flexibility, compactness and user-friendly software to meet all atomic absorption spectrometry needs. Whether for routine measurements or complex analyses, it offers laboratories a high-precision, scalable and productivity-oriented tool.
