AA-7000 Series
Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometers
The AA-7000 series of Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometers
features high-sensitivity analysis, flexible system configuration,
and a compact footprint for user-friendly operation. In addition,
the AA-7000 systems are the first AAS to employ a vibration
sensor as standard. The AA-7000 series ensures efficient and
comfortable operation in your laboratory.
