Perkin Elmer N305-0657 EDL System 2 Lead Pb Electrodeless Discharge Lamp w/ Case

Perkin Elmer N305-0657 EDL System 2 Lead Pb Electrodeless Discharge Lamp w/ Case

The Perkin Elmer N305-0657 is an EDL System 2 electrodeless discharge lamp configured for the Lead (Pb) element, used in atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). EDL lamps produce sharper, more intense emission lines than conventional hollow cathode lamps, making them particularly well-suited for elements like lead where sensitivity and detection limits are critical. This lamp is designed for use with PerkinElmer's EDL System 2 power supply and compatible AAnalyst-series atomic absorption spectrometers. The original blue plastic Perkin Elmer storage case is included.

Applications

Electrodeless discharge lamps are a standard light source in atomic absorption spectroscopy, particularly for elements that require higher intensity or where hollow cathode lamps produce unstable or low-intensity output. Lead (Pb) is one of the elements for which EDL sources are commonly preferred, as its emission lines benefit from the brighter, more stable output EDL technology provides. These lamps are used in environmental testing laboratories for water, soil, and air quality analysis; in industrial quality control for metals analysis; and in research settings requiring trace-level detection of heavy metals. The PerkinElmer EDL System 2 format is a widely deployed standard in labs running PerkinElmer flame and graphite furnace AA spectrometers.
