Hi,
I work in a chemistry lab and we have a super duper 25yo Perkin Elmer AAnalyst 100. Usually, it works just fine, but recently, it starts to give us some trouble. After making my standard curve, I tested some samples and they all gave me the same value. Then, I tried testing my blank and again, the same concentration. It's like the device was stuck to this value. I rebooted it and it was okay. So I was wondering if someone had the same issue.
It happens 3-4 times during the past 2-3 weeks. The burning system seems to work fine, I mean there's a change in the intensity of the flame while changing samples. The issue happens to 2 different user, dosing different metals but with the same cathode lamp.
Any ideas?
