This Atomax™ hollow cathode lamp is a cadmium light source in the 1.5 in. (37 mm) diameter format used by atomic absorption spectrometers from manufacturers other than PerkinElmer. It is built to the same standards as PerkinElmer’s 2 in. Lumina™ lamps: a hollow cathode containing cadmium and an anode sealed in a glass envelope filled with inert gas, emitting the cadmium line spectrum when the fill gas is ionized. Cadmium is determined at its 228.80 nm resonance line.
Every Atomax lamp is tested for light output and spectral purity before shipment, and the cathode materials are selected to avoid spectral interference. Atomax lamps are made for high sensitivity, stable light output, low noise and long life.
