Description

System 2 Electrodeless Discharge Lamp for the detection of elemental Mercury (Hg). Note: PinAAcle™ instruments require the purchase of an EDL driver assembly, part number 03030997, for each of the lamp positions to be used.
Electrodeless Discharge Lamps for greater brightness (EDLs) are typically much brighter and, in some cases, provide better sensitivity than comparable HCLs. EDLs are preferred for certain volatile elements. They offer better precision and lower detection limits for analyses that are “noisy” due to weak hollow cathode emission.
Electrodeless Discharge Lamps (EDLs) are designed to be physically interchangeable with Intensitron Hollow Cathode Lamps. Their power supplies are built into all the PinAAcle™ series of atomic absorption spectrometers. Use of EDLs with those instruments requires only the purchase of an EDL driver assembly for each of the lamp positions to be used.

FAQs

Question: What is the intended analyte for this lamp?

Answer:The System 2 electrodeless discharge lamp provides a mercury-specific light source for atomic absorption analysis.

Question: Does the lamp include an EDL driver?

Answer:No. Compatible PinAAcle instruments require a separate EDL driver assembly for each EDL position.

Question: Why select an EDL for mercury testing?

Answer:Electrodeless discharge sources can provide stronger elemental emission than comparable hollow cathode lamps, although sensitivity depends on the complete validated method.

Application Note

PerkinElmer System 2 mercury electrodeless discharge lamps provide an element-specific radiation source for atomic absorption analysis of mercury. Electrodeless discharge technology can yield a stronger emission signal than a conventional hollow cathode lamp for selected volatile elements, helping with methods in which source intensity limits sensitivity. The mercury EDL is intended for compatible PerkinElmer atomic absorption instruments, including configured PinAAcle or AAnalyst systems. PinAAcle EDL positions require an EDL driver assembly; the driver is not the lamp itself. Verify the selected mercury analytical wavelength, measurement mode, source current or power settings, and background correction within the installed instrument's validated method. Establish appropriate blanks and mercury calibration standards, and control carryover from sample introduction components because mercury analyses can be sensitive to trace contamination. Do not assume that changing from a hollow cathode source automatically improves detection limits without method evaluation. Protect optical surfaces during lamp installation and allow stable emission before collecting analytical data.
