Preparing Your Laboratory
PerkinElmer manufactures all of its hollow cathode and electrodeless discharge
lamps. The Lumina™ series of hollow cathode lamps are especially noted for
spectral purity, brightness, stability and long life.
Hollow cathode lamps (HCLs) are excellent for most elements; however, there are
a number of "difficult" elements for which an improved light source is desirable.
PerkinElmer electrodeless discharge lamps (EDLs) provide improved performance
in most instances. EDLs are more intense than their corresponding HCLs. Most
also provide better lamp life and stability as well as better sensitivity. EDLs do not
require a separate power supply as it is built-in the PinAAcle systems.
A lamp mount or turret is supplied with all PerkinElmer AA instruments and will
accommodate all PerkinElmer HCLs or EDLs. Users who may have lamps with
1.5-inch diameters rather than the standard PerkinElmer 2-inch diameter can adapt
those lamps for use in PerkinElmer lamp mounts with the Small Diameter Lamp
Adapter Kit, (Part No. 03030870).
The PinAAcle Series 900T/H/Z/F operates correctly with PerkinElmer Standard
2" Lumina .
Hollow Cathode Lamps (HCLs). The PerkinElmer Atomax 1.5 inch lamps do not
require an adapter. The use of other 1.5 inch HCLs you will need an adaptor kit to
connect in the lamp compartment area.
PerkinElmer Coded Electrodeless
Discharge Lamps (EDL s) can also be used .
Drain Vessels
A specially-configured drain vessel is supplied with all PerkinElmer AA
instruments with burner systems. That vessel must be used to gather the effluent
from the AA burner drain.
The drain vessel should NOT be stored in an enclosed storage area. Rather, the
drain vessel should be stored in plain sight of the operator, usually on the floor in
front of the instrument or on an open shelf underneath the instrument table.
The drain system should be checked regularly and replaced when necessary.
Follow the directions in the instrument manuals regarding the proper placement of
the drain tube in the drain vessel and the proper liquid level in the drain vessel.
