Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometer

Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometer

An Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometer (AFS) is a highly sensitive analytical instrument used for ultra-trace elemental analysis, particularly for toxic and environmentally critical elements. In atomic fluorescence spectrometry, target atoms are excited by element-specific radiation, and the resulting fluorescence emission is measured to determine elemental concentrations with exceptional selectivity and low detection limits.

AFS is especially effective for elements such as mercury, arsenic, selenium, antimony, bismuth, cadmium, lead, and related species, where traditional techniques may struggle with interference. Because of its high sensitivity, wide linear range, and strong resistance to matrix effects, atomic fluorescence spectrometry is widely used in environmental monitoring, food safety testing, clinical analysis, petrochemical inspection, and regulatory laboratories.

ToronAFS™ is Torontech’s dedicated platform of Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometers developed to support routine testing, regulatory compliance, and advanced trace-element research. The ToronAFS™ series integrates dual-channel fluorescence detection, intelligent gas and flame control, high-performance hollow cathode lamps, and automated analytical workflows into compact, laboratory-grade systems.
