Automated Flame Analyses

If you selected Autosampler for Sample Handling on Spectrometer subpage, continue as
described in this chapter.
Overview
Once the system has been powered up and optimized, analyzing samples is simply a matter of
entering parameters, then the autosampler starts aspirating solutions of a blank, standards, and test
samples. The AAnalyst 200 has the capability to use up to eight calibration standards and a
choice of calibration equations. An example of an aspirating sequence for linear/ nonlinear
calibration is shown below:
Blank
Standard 1
Standard 2
↓
Standard 8
Sample 1
Sample 2
↓
Sample 20
Recalibrate
Sample 21
Sample 22
etc.
For nonlinear or linear calibration, you can instruct the autosampler to aspirate a reslope standard
at any point after the first sample is run.
This chapter contains an example of how to run Flame AA analyses with an autosampler using
linear, nonlinear and analyte additions techniques. The examples take you step-by-step through
the required procedures.
