AMETEK 300-8707 Copper Hollow Cathode Lamp (Cu HCL)

Overview

The AMETEK 300-8707 Copper Hollow Cathode Lamp (HCL) is a highly specialized spectral line source engineered specifically for precise atomic absorption (AA) spectroscopy. Designed to emit the exact characteristic light spectrum of Copper (Cu), this lamp is an indispensable component for analytical laboratories, metallurgical testing facilities, and industrial quality-control centers across the Sultanate of Oman, Muscat, and the broader GCC region. Maintaining high-accuracy elemental analysis is critical for environmental compliance and industrial quality assurance.

Seven Star LLC serves as a specialized technical supplier and industrial procurement partner, offering this essential analytical component to research facilities and testing laboratories. By utilizing genuine AMETEK components, laboratories ensure maximum sensitivity, exceptionally stable light output, and ultra-low background noise for detecting copper traces in complex samples.

Measurement Principle

The operational principle of the hollow cathode lamp is based on the physics of plasma discharge and atomic emission. When a high-voltage electrical current passes through the ionizing gas (usually neon or argon) inside the sealed glass envelope, it creates a plasma. The positively charged gas ions bombard the pure Copper (Cu) cathode, sputtering copper atoms into the plasma.

These excited copper atoms emit their characteristic spectral lines as they return to their ground state. This specific wavelength of light is directed through the analytical sample in the atomic absorption spectrometer. The amount of light absorbed is directly proportional to the concentration of copper in the sample, allowing for highly precise quantitative analysis down to parts-per-million (ppm) levels.

Key Features

• Pure Copper (Cu) cathode ensuring unadulterated spectral emission lines for flawless analysis.

• Optimized specifically for high-intensity output in Atomic Absorption (AA) Spectrometers.

• Manufactured under rigorous quality controls for prolonged operational lifespan and stable plasma generation.

• Exceptionally low baseline noise, improving detection limits in trace-metal analysis.

Industrial Applications

In the rapidly expanding industrial and environmental sectors of Oman and the GCC, precise elemental analysis is mandatory. The AMETEK 300-8707 Copper HCL is routinely deployed within mining and metallurgical testing labs to precisely determine copper content in ores and refined alloys.

Furthermore, environmental monitoring agencies and petrochemical refineries rely heavily on this precise spectral source. It is utilized to test water and soil samples for heavy metal contamination and to monitor trace wear-metals in industrial lubricating oils, thereby preventing catastrophic downstream machinery failure.
