Lumex Instruments has developed a solution to measure both trace elements and macroelements in water samples using a single instrument – graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometer (GFAAS) MGA-1000.
Before, to measure macroelements, labs had to use flame atomic absorption spectrometer (FAAS) as GFAAS is generally too sensitive for concentrations of macro components that are usually present in water samples. At the same time, GFAAS is better for determination of heavy metals like Sb, As, Bi, Cd, Se, and other elements. Another solution is to use combined systems, but...
