Aluminum (Al) - Calcium (Ca) - Copper (Cu) - Iron (Fe) - Magnesium (Mg) - Silicon (Si) - Zinc (Zn) Lumina Hollow Cathode Lamp

This Lumina™ multi-element hollow cathode lamp carries aluminum (Al), calcium (Ca), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), magnesium (Mg), silicon (Si) and zinc (Zn) in one cathode, so one lamp position serves all 7 elements for flame atomic absorption on the PinAAcle^® 500, 900F, 900H, 900T and 900Z atomic absorption spectrometers. Multi-element lamps are for flame work; they are not designed for use in a graphite furnace. Aluminum and silicon require a nitrous oxide-acetylene flame. It has a quartz window, which passes the secondary lines below 230 nm. PerkinElmer application notes give the analytical lines as Aluminum 309.27 nm, Calcium 422.67 nm, Copper 324.75 nm, Iron 248.33 nm, Magnesium 285.21 nm, Zinc 213.86 nm.

Like the single-element Lumina lamps it is a 2 in. (50 mm) coded, cableless lamp with a large internal gas volume for long life. When it is slid into the lamp mount or turret of a PinAAcle or AAnalyst™ instrument, the instrument reads the code and sets up the selected element, and on PinAAcle instruments with Syngistix™ software the lamp’s operating hours are recorded automatically. Earlier PerkinElmer AA spectrometers without code reading use it with an Intensitron^® adapter cable.

The lamp is warranted to meet its intensity and absorption specifications for six months or 5,000 milliampere-hours, and to light and emit the spectra of the elements indicated for two years or 5,000 milliampere-hours, from the date of shipment.
