Photron's display of products will be at stand number A2.212 at Analytica Munich 2012

Photron's newest development in Hollow Cathode and Deuterium Lamp technology will be on display at booth A2.212 from April 17th to April 20th 2012. Our display will present our new Superlamp range to suit Agilent / Varian AAS instruments without a secondary power supply. Many different types of Deuterium Lamps will be on display.

I look forward to seeing you there!

Sincerest regards,
Photron Australia
 

New Superlamps have been developed to suit Agilent / Varian AAS Instruments.

Photron's new Superlamps have been designed for use in most Agilent / Varian AAS Instruments, without the need for a secondary power supply. The superlamp can be used in place of Agilent / Varian UltrAA lamps and are immediately available in the elements listed below. [As] Arsenic [Se] Selenium [Pb] Lead [Ni] Nickle [Te] Tellurium Other elements are available upon request Each Photron Superlamp listed above is available for US$550 (List Price). Rare elements may attract a surcharge however pricing will be provided via quotation. Our Photronlamp website will be updated shortly to reflect our product range/availability.

*New Pricelist - Effective 1st March 2012*

Photron's Euro pricelist will be replaced with a new US Dollars based price list.
The change to US Dollars is required due to the uncertainity of the European Euro.
We would like inform all customers that these changes come into effect from the 1st of March 2012.

We will email and post to the website the new US Dollars price list shortly.

Graphite Discounts

All Graphite products will be discounted by 10% from list price until the 31st of March 2012.

Graphite product number P316 (Suits Perkin Elmer B0135653) will be discounted further to 20%. Click here to view our graphite products via Photronlamp.com

New Superlamp adapters for P200 Superlamp powersupplies.

Photron have released four new powersupply adapters for the P200 Superlamp Powersupply to suit GBC SensAA, XplorAA, and AvantAA instrument. The P205-SensAA provides the facility to swap between Superlamps (3volt) and Standard HCL.

Photron's Superlamp(PAT) High Intensity Sharp Line Source for AAS and AFS Spectroscopy

The Super Lamp is particularly recommended for the following determinations in Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy:

• Elements with resonance spectra in the far UV where instrumental efficiency is reduced. e.g. Arsenic & Selenium.
• Elements with complex spectra where the enhanced resonances line reduces the interference of background radiation, allowing the use of wide slit widths further reducing signal to noise. e.g. Nickel & Iron
• For determinations at or near the detection limit, in some cases a 10 fold improvement in detection limited can be achieved.
• This lamp produces intense spectra with narrow line widths

Super Lamps are also used in Atomic Fluorescence Spectroscopy.

Photron Superlamps provide high intensity gains over standard Hollow Cathode Lamps, additionally it produces a significant improvement in sensitivity due to the narrow and non-self absorbed line our superlamps produce.

It is worth noting that for elements that are easily self-absorbed in Photron Standard Hollow Cathode Lamps (As, Sb, Cd, Pb, Tl, Zn) are not so self-absorbed in a Photron Superlamp.
A further improvement advantage is the suppression of ion lines close to the resonance line in a Ni Superlamp resulting in a much improved sensitivity line and linearity.

All Super Lamps require a Photron Powersupply (P200) and applicable adapters to suit instruments.
