Perkin Elmer EDL System 2 Electrodeless Discharge Lamp Power Supply Dual Lamp

Web Information System Description The Perkin-Elmer EDL System 2 is a dual-channel Power supply that incorporates a unique RF lamp driver design for operating electrodeless discharge lamps. An electrodeless discharge lamp (EDL) consists of a quartz bulb containing the element or a salt of the element to be determined in an inert gas atmosphere. When an RF field is applied to the buib, the inert gas is ionized and the coupled energy excites the vaporized analyte atoms. The emission spectra produced is typically muck more intense than that from hollow cathode lamps. For several elements, EDLs can also provide improved sensitivity and linearity due to the greater spectral purity of their emission.  The EDL System 2 consists of two major components — a dual channel power supply with dual RF driver assemblies and the interchangeable lamp "sleeves." The EDL System 2 power supply is a highly regulated constant current power supply with two independently controlled output channels allowing s
