PerkinElmer PinAAcle 900Z GFAAS Zeeman + AS900 Autosampler Chiller 2018

PerkinElmer PinAAcle 900Z GFAAS with AS900 Autosampler, Cooling System and Lamps

For sale is an extensively equipped PerkinElmer PinAAcle 900Z Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectrometer, deinstalled from a professional German institute.

The PinAAcle 900Z is a high-sensitivity graphite furnace atomic absorption system intended for trace and ultra-trace elemental analysis. It uses longitudinal Zeeman background correction and is suitable for applications including environmental laboratories, water and wastewater analysis, food testing, pharmaceutical laboratories, materials analysis, research and industrial quality control.

Included components

• PerkinElmer PinAAcle 900Z main instrument
• PerkinElmer AS900 graphite furnace autosampler
• Original PerkinElmer cooling system
• Cooling system part number: B0198072
• Cooling system serial number: 319S18010602
• Sample carousel and cover
• Sample and rinse bottles
• Tubing, hoses and connections shown in the photographs
• Tools, small parts and consumables shown in the photographs
• several genuine PerkinElmer Lumina hollow-cathode and electrodeless-discharge lamps
• lamps for various elements, including Cr, Pb, Sn, Mo and Cd, as identified in the photographs
• historical service, IQ/OQ and calibration documentation

The lamps have not been independently tested by us for output intensity, operating hours or remaining service life.

Documentation

The sale includes the documentation shown in the photographs, including historical service and qualification records.

The documentation includes, among other items:

• PerkinElmer service and IQ/OQ report from 2019
• historical calibration documentation for a gas flowmeter
• historical documentation relating to atomic-spectroscopy standards
• other technical documents shown in the photographs

These records are supplied solely as historical documentation of the previous configuration and use of the system.

They do not constitute a current calibration, current qualification or current certification of analytical performance.

Condition and testing

The system was removed from a professional institutional laboratory environment.

Following deinstallation, we were unable to perform a complete analytical test involving the required gas supply, cooling water, certified reference standards, graphite-furnace methods and PerkinElmer software.

The following parameters have therefore not been independently verified by us:

• analytical sensitivity
• detection and quantification limits
• repeatability
• linearity
• Zeeman background correction under actual analytical conditions
• complete AS900 operation and alignment through a full analytical sequence
• lamp condition and remaining operating life
• condition of graphite contacts, tubes and other consumable components
• current calibration or IQ/OQ compliance
• availability or transferability of a Syngistix software licence

The complete system is therefore offered strictly AS-IS, in its present condition and in the exact configuration shown in the photographs.

Inspection and additional testing before purchase can be arranged by prior appointment.

Software and computer

A computer, monitor, software media or transferable PerkinElmer Syngistix licence is included only when expressly confirmed in writing and shown in the final listing photographs.

The buyer is responsible for confirming software compatibility, licensing, installation and potential manufacturer support directly with PerkinElmer.

Installation requirements

Proper installation requires suitable electrical power, cooling-water connections, argon or other required process gases, exhaust arrangements and professional commissioning.

Installation, calibration, method development and operator training are not included.

Scope of supply

The scope of supply is limited to the equipment and accessories shown in the final listing photographs and specifically described above.

Please review all photographs carefully. They show the actual system offered for sale, its condition and the included accessories.

Expired analytical standards or chemicals are not included and will not be shipped.

Due to the size, weight and sensitivity of the system, professional packing in a reinforced export wooden crate is recommended.

We can assist with professional packing, loading and worldwide transport arrangements if required.
