Atomic Absorption Hollow Cathode Lamps

The quality of any instrumental analysis is dependent on the quality of the components of the instrument. At Buck Scientific, we strive to maximize the quality of all aspects of analytical instrumentation, from the main system itself to the smallest accessory.

The 1-1/2" diameter bulb design is compatible with Buck and all other brands of Atomic Absorption Systems, except Perkin Elmer which requires the use of 2" lamps. Giant Pulse lamps are used specifically for applications with Smith-Hieftje or Variable Giant Pulse systems for extended operating life.
