Single Element Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer Market Overview
Single-element atomic absorption spectrophotometer (Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer, AAS) is a precision analytical instrument specifically used to analyze the concentration of a single element in a sample. Single-element atomic absorption spectrophotometers work based on the absorption of light of a specific wavelength by atoms. When light from a light source passes through a sample containing the element to be measured, the ground-state atoms in the sample absorb photons corresponding to their specific energy level transitions, thereby transitioning to a high-energy state. During this process, the intensity of the light will weaken, and the degree of weakening is proportional to the concentration of the element in the sample. The instrument can determine the concentration of a specific element in the sample by measuring the change in light intensity after absorption and using spectral analysis technology.
