Sophisticated Multielement Detection Moves From the Research to the Routine Laboratory

AED Product Descriptions

jas AED - Plus a Unique, Versatile Instrument

The jas Atomic Emission Detector (AED) is the only commercially available Detector for gas chromatography. It lets you detect virtually all elements within any volatized compound (except helium, the carrier gas) at picogram-level sensitivities, with excellent selectivities. The  AED plus transports sophisticated research capabilities into a reliable, cost effective instrument that is easy to use and maintain-ideal for both routine QA/QC and research laboratories.

A Microsoft Windows™ operating environment makes the AED-plus easy to learn and use.

Easy to Use

The system lets you:

1. Automate setup of system parameters and data analysis-similar to the Agilent ChemStation for GC.
   
2. Quickly change methods using the Agilent 7890/6890 GC to set pressures electronically without bubble meters.

A pre-set menu of elements simplifies the detection process.

Versatility

A single AED can be used instead of several element-specific systems for routine analyses. As an universal element detector, the AED is unmateched as a screening tool for target and unknown compound analyses.

Ease of Maintenance

Instruments components are modularized for convenient maintenance and repair. The AED is designed for reliability by minimizing total parts. Simplified parts replacement provides minimal instrument downtime during routine maintenance.

Reliability

The AED-plus is designed for reliability by minimizing total parts. Simplified parts replacement provides minimal instrument downtime during routine maintenance.
Conduct trace-level analyses.

Depth of Capabilities The AED lets you:

• Selectively detect compounds containing any of over 20 pre-set elements, including organo- metallic species and compounds labeled with stable isotopes.
• Enhance analytical confidence by confirming the presence of elements in chromtograms using atomic emission spectra.Increase productivity by obtaining from one to several-element chromatograms with a single injection.
• Automatically profile a sample by sequencing detection of any number of elements in he sample.
• Sequence any number of samples. Screen a sample for specific elements prior to mass spectral analysis to quickly locate peaks of interest, speeding analysis of target or unknown compounds.
• Perform quantitative analysis using nearly constant response factors. You can calibrate with any readily available compound containing the element.
• Analyze higher-boiling compounds with operation up to 450 °C.
• Conduct trace-level analyses.

GC Analysis: Using the AED - GC-MS

As your analytical requirements increase, you may want to obtain information beyond the data that a GC-MS provides. The AED® can supply this complementary information, broadening your range of capabilities.

You can:

• Pre-screen compounds by element, rapidly locating peaks of primary interest, parti-culary in complex matrices.
• Screen candidates for the correct compo-sition of elements after the library search has identified possible matches.
• Progress toward identification of a parti-cular compound if a library search does not reveal good candidates.

• Automate setup of system parameters and data analysis-similar to the Agilent Chem-Station for GC.
• Quickly change methods using the Agilent 7890/6890 GC to set pressures electronically without bubble meters.
