Looking to learn more about atomic absorption lamps? Separation Science, in collaboration with Agilent, offers a series of video tutorials to help you improve your skills in atomic absorption. In the first tutorial in the series, presenter Eric Vanclay does a deep dive into atomic absorption lamps. These ‘hollow cathode’ lamps are needed for each element under investigation. In the tutorial, Vanclay highlights the common types of AA lamps available and discusses the performance and lifetime of some specific lamps.
Key learning outcomes you can expect from this tutorial include:
- Learn more about the different types of lamps used with atomic absorption instruments
- Understand the performance and lifetime advantages of Agilent AA lamps
- Address the common myths about operation and use of hollow cathode lamps
- Learn how to prevent, identify, and troubleshoot common AA lamp issues
Run time: 20 minutes
There are four tutorials in the Atomic Absorption series, with the remaining modules covering improving performance; maintenance, consumables, and resources; and questions and answers.
