What is Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer

 Atomic absorption spectrophotometer, also known as AAS, is a powerful analytical technique used in various fields such as chemistry, environmental science, and medicine. It works on the principle of absorption of electromagnetic radiation by atoms in the gaseous state. When a sample is atomized and introduced into the flame of the spectrophotometer, atoms of specific elements absorb light at characteristic wavelengths. The amount of light absorbed is directly proportional to the concentration of the element in the sample, allowing for precise quantification. AAS is widely used for the detection and quantification of trace elements in complex mixtures, making it an indispensable tool for researchers and analysts in various industries. Its high sensitivity, accuracy, and versatility make it a valuable instrument in scientific research and quality control applications.
