Enhanced Flame Analysis
The AA-7000 Series incorporates newly developed 3D double-beam optics.
The optical system has been designed to produce its maximum performance for each measurement method through
optimal adjustment of the light beam and light beam digital filter, and by using optical components that restrict light
losses.
Double-Beam Optics and Stable Hardware Achieve Superior Stability

7
Advantages of the Double-Beam System
Support for Developing Analytical Conditions
Optional Autosampler Reduces Analysis Workload
Long-term stability
The graph shows the results of
measurements on 2 ppm copper (Cu)
conducted over at least one hour.
(The plot shows mean values for 11
repeated measurements.) Over the
course of more than 600
measurements, the instrument
achieved a relative standard
deviation within 1%.
High sensitivity
The graph shows the direct
measurement results for 0.1
ppm lead (Pb).
Automatic gas flow rate optimization
Automatic searching for optimal fuel gas flow rate (Japanese Patent 2099886). It is important
to determine the optimal gas flow rate for the flame when using an organic solvent or after
changing the burner height. The AA-7000F Series automatically optimizes the gas flow rate
by measuring the changes in absorbance between a blank and a standard sample. The
difference between the two is displayed on the screen. The gas flow rate achieving the
highest sensitivity is detected and this value is automatically set as the gas flow rate value.
Automatic burner height optimization (AA-7000F/AAC)
The absorption sensitivity for flame analysis is also affected by the burner height. This results
from variations in the flame temperature due to the burner height. The flame temperature is
also affected by the matrix components. AA-7000F/AAC adjusts the burner height in 0.5 mm
steps to automatically search for the optimal conditions.
AA-7000F enables above function by AAC-7000 (option).
Low carryover
Great care must be taken to avoid carryover during flame analysis. The new ASC-7000
autosampler rinses the nozzle at the rinsing port on the overflow mechanism after each
sample measurement is complete. This ensures 10
-4
max. carryover during the
measurements of multiple samples. The graph shows the results of consecutive analyses
of 10 ppm, 20 ppm, and 50 ppm sodium (Na) standard solutions in the EMISSION mode.
No carryover could be detected when measuring the 10 ppm standard sample
immediately after the measuring the 50 ppm Na standard sample.
Example of micro sampling analysis
Examples of the measured waveforms (overlaid) and calibration curve for micro
sampling analysis are shown to the right.
A 2-ppm Cu standard solution was prepared by auto-dilution using the autosampler.
The autosampler can also be used to conduct dilution measurements of the sample.
(Injection volume: 90 µL)
Trace Sample Analysis Using Micro Sampling
Micro sampling
At least 1 mL (1000 µL) volume of a liquid sample is required for the continuous intake of
sample during normal flame analysis. With micro sampling, however, approximately 50 to 90
µL of sample is injected in one shot into the flame and quantitation is based on the height
and area of the peak signal obtained. This method offers the advantages below.
Advantages
.
Permits analysis of small sample volumes
.
Multi-element analysis of small sample volumes
.
No blockage of burner slot with samples having a high salt concentration
.
Synchronized with the autosampler for auto-dilution measurements
*Synchronization with the autosampler requires the optional micro sampling kit.

World-Class High-Sensitivity Furnace

High-Performance Autosampler
High-Sensitivity Application Data (Analysis of Selenium (Se))
Mix and inject up to four sample types (diluted solution, standard solution,
sample, matrix modifier, etc.). (Of course, unmixed samples can also be injected.)
Select a fluororesin tube or pipette tip as the injection nozzle.
Automatic dilution and re-analysis if the calibration curve concentration is exceeded.
Independent control of the gas flow through the graphite tube during
atomization achieves extremely high-sensitivity measurements.
(Japanese Patent 2067563)
Digital temperature control and electronic gas flow control enhance stability
Combination of a high-sensitivity optical sensor and unique digital temperature control
technology achieves highly accurate temperature control in all temperature regions from
drying to atomization. An electronic flow controller can precisely control the inner gas
flow rate in 0.01 L/min units. These control techniques significantly enhance both the
sensitivity and the data stability.
Example of Automatic Dilution and Re-Analysis
Analysis of cadmium (Cd): The maximum concentration of the calibration curve has been set to 1ppb. At 1.8ppb, the sample of [003] has exceeded the
maximum concentration. As a resultit has been automatically diluted by 4 times and re-measured.
* Depending on the state of the sample, some other combinations may be appropriate.

AA-7000F/AAC creates an integral burner and furnace that remains permanently installed in the combustion chamber.
It supports both flame analysis of high concentration samples and furnace analysis of trace samples, without changing
the atomizer unit. The integral construction with the atomizer saves space.
AA-7000F enables above function by AAC-7000 (option).
* The AAC-7000 cannot be attached to an AA-7000G instrument.

Improved Dual Atomizer System

The new drive mechanism halves the switching time between flame and furnace measurements
(comparison with previous Shimadzu models).
Smallest footprint for a full system Easily attach an autosampler
Direct connection of the autosampler
to the AA instrument minimizes the
installation footprint and simplifies
maintenance.
Lamp house
Just slide the cover to the side for
easy replacement of the hollow
cathode lamps through the large
opening.
New Atomizer Design Permits Easy Switching Between Flame and Furnace Measurements
Slim, Easy-to-Use Design
The atomizer unit is switched automatically by software
operation. No troublesome replacement of the atomizer
unit is required. No need to disconnect pipes or wires.
In case of the flame measurement of high-concentration
sample, offsetting the burner head from the light axis,
instead of angle adjustment, allows to adjust the
sensitivity.
Flame measurement: Burner head
intersects the light axis (red line).
Furnace measurement: Furnace
intersects the light axis (red line).
Flame measurement Furnace measurement
A single autosampler can be used for both flame and
furnace measurements. Simply slide it left or right. No
need to purchase two autosamplers.

Advanced Safety Technology

World first! –– flame extinguished automatically by vibration sensor
The flame is automatically extinguished when the new built-in sensor detects vibrations.
Instruments are completely safe during severe shaking caused by earthquakes.
Multimode automatic gas leak check
The fuel gas pipes inside the instrument gas controller are automatically
checked for gas leaks when the power is turned on and when the flame is
extinguished. Should a gas leak be detected, a warning buzzer sounds and a
warning is displayed on the screen.
Flame-retardant materials
UL 94V-0-rated flame-retardant materials
are used for the instrument external
covers and atomizer unit. This superior
design pays due consideration to safety.
Safe ignition switches
The switches perfectly fit finger contours and are positioned
near the window.
To prevent inadvertent operation, both switches must be
pressed simultaneously to start ignition.
Durable pipes and reliable couplings
All pipes are selected for durability and
used with highly reliable couplings.
Clear window
The large window permits observation of the flame, and the
burner can be easily accessed through the large opening.
The window closes when released to eliminate the chance
of it being left open.
Automatic flame ignition and extinguishing
Flame ignition and extinguishing operations are extremely simple. The

The optimal background correction methods are installed as standard:
high-speed self-reversal method (SR method) and deuterium lamp method (D2method).
Dual-Background Correction Functions
SR (high-speed self-reversal) method –– accurate background correction over a wide range
Samples with a complex matrix
(Containing a large quantity of a specific element as the main component)
Purified water, tap water, environmental water, etc.
Samples with a relatively simple matrix
Samples suitable for the SR method Samples suitable for the D2method
These functions can correct for spectral interference in flame measurement.
Selecting the optimal background correction method for each sample ensures
accurate and reliable analysis results.
1. High-speed self-reversal (SR) correction is generally more accurate than deuterium lamp (D
2
) correction. As both atomic absorption and background
absorption can be measured using a single lamp, the correction errors due to light-axis misalignment are extremely small. This is ideal for the quantitation
of trace components in a matrix exhibiting complex background absorption, such as bio-samples and metals.
2. Permits background correction over the entire wavelength range from 185 nm to 900 nm.
3. This method can correct for spectral interference due to neighboring lines that can occur when a resonance line for another element exists near the
analytical line for the target element. (See table on next page.)
4. As no polarizer is used, measurements are possible with low light losses and a high S/N ratio.
5. The rapid lamp lighting permits accurate measurement unaffected by emission noise in the atomizer.
* Hollow cathode lamp L-2433 is required to use the SR method. Hollow cathode lamp L-2433 can also be used for the D
2
method.

layer
A small current IL (approx. 10 mA) and a large current IH (approx. 500
mA) are alternately passed through the hollow cathode lamp. The
lamp emission spectrum when the large current flows has a depression
in the center (self-reverse), due to self-absorption of the large number
of sputtered atoms in the atom cloud, as shown in the diagram to the
left. No significant atomic absorption is apparent and background
absorption mainly occurs. Conversely, the lamp emission spectrum
when the small current flows comprises a single narrow peak resulting
from both atomic absorption and background absorption. By
determining the difference between the two types of absorption, it is
possible to accurately correct for the background absorption and
measure the true atomic absorption.
Examples suitable for SR method (where differences result between SR and D
2
methods)
Example: Measurement of trace levels of zinc in iron (analysis of Zn in Fe solution)
BGC-SR method BGC-D2method
The identical 0.5 ppm Zn solution is accurately corrected to
the same absorbance at (2) and (6).
Due to inadequate correction, the absorbance is higher at
(6) than at (2) for the identical 0.5 ppm Zn solution.

(deuterium lamp) method –– highly sensitive background correction
1. Detection sensitivity is superior to the SR method. Therefore, this method is suitable for the analysis of samples with a simple matrix requiring high
sensitivity, such as the measurement of trace levels of impurities in ultrapure water or environmental analyses.
2. As the lighting frequency is higher than with the SR method, it can eliminate noise due to emission components of the flame or graphite tube to permit
accurate atomic absorption measurements.
3. The original hollow cathode lamp can be used.
Features
Principle
The deuterium lamp method involves lighting the hollow cathode lamp and the
deuterium lamp alternately at high speed. After separation by the monochromator,
the light from the deuterium lamp has a bandwidth from 0.1 to 5 nm. Therefore, an
atomic absorption with a line width of only about 1/1000 nm is almost unobservable
compared to the background absorption due to wide-bandwidth molecular
absorption. However, as the light from the hollow cathode lamp has approximately
the same bandwidth as the atomic absorption band, the total of the atomic
absorption and the background absorption can be observed. With the deuterium
lamp (D
2
) method, light from both sources passes through the atomizer. The
difference in absorbance is determined to conduct background correction.
The SR method is suitable for samples containing elements that cause
problems with spectral interference, as shown in the table to the left.

QA/QC compatibility
The QA/QC functions permit accuracy
management.
Hardware validation software installed as standard
The hardware validation software makes it simple to evaluate the instrument
performance. When combined with the autosampler, it automatically determines
the wavelength accuracy, noise level, baseline drift, absorbance and repeatability,
and prints out the results of comparison with the pass criteria.
* Data from all Shimadzu analytical instruments can be centrally managed by CLASS-Agent.
