Agilent, 5610100400, Barium (Ba) coded single element hollow cathode lamp

The Agilent coded barium hollow cathode lamp provides an element-specific light source for atomic absorption spectroscopy measurements of barium. Its cathode produces narrow spectral emission lines characteristic of the target element, enabling selective absorption measurements when paired with a compatible Agilent AA instrument. The coded design supports automatic lamp recognition in Agilent atomic absorption systems, reducing the risk of selecting an incorrect lamp position or element setting. The single-element lamp has a nominal outer diameter of 38 mm and is installed in the instrument's designated lamp holder. Allow the source to stabilize before calibration and use operating current and wavelength settings appropriate to the barium method. Monitor baseline energy and lamp output during routine quality checks, and protect the lamp from shock, contamination, and excessive operating current. This accessory is a barium analytical radiation source, not a multi-element lamp or a calibration solution.
