Introduction
About this Manual
20
The Sample Introduction Pump System (SIPS) is an integrated,
efficient dilution system for flame AA and is suitable for use with
most Agilent (flame) atomic absorption spectrometers.
In some instruments the control module is built in to the instrument
(e.g., the Agilent 280FS AA). For these instruments, installation
instructions for the control module can be ignored. It is still
necessary to unpack and install the SIPS pump module.
The unique range of capabilities and applications provided by the
SIPS includes:
Online 10 point calibration from a single standard
Online standard additions calibration from a single standard
Intelligent online dilution of overrange samples with ‘Smart
Rinse' to reduce memory effects
Online preparation of analytical spikes, using a single standard
Online addition of chemical modifiers such as ionization
suppressants, releasing agents or internal standards
An extended dynamic range for flame AA, approaching that of
ICP-OES
