Did you know whilst working off his frustration in his garden in the Melbourne suburb of Brighton, Melbourne CSIRO scientist, Sir Alan Walsh had a sudden epiphany, ‘We’ve been measuring the wrong bloody thing! We should be measuring absorption, not emission!’ This thought led to one of the most significant advancements in chemical analysis.
Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) measures small amounts of elements and is routinely used in medicine, manufacturing, mining, environmental monitoring and laboratories throughout the world.
AAS has made industry more efficient and also saved lives!
