I don't know of any commercial AAS instruments that run elements concurrently. Some can be programmed to run elements sequentially. Atomic fluorescence has multi-element capability.

Uwe Oppermann

Hi Bhupinder,

the Advantage of AAS is the sequential Analysis in order to have the best sensitivity and minimized interferences. There have been some approaches for simultaneous measurements in AAS. But in real life the recommendation is as follows: AAS for sequential Analysis and ICP-OES for simultaneous Analysis. Poster Analysis of Na, K, Ca and Mg in Mineral Water Using Fullauto...

Hi Uwe, I have decided to go with ICP-OES but still not sure about ions analysis. One option is to go with flow analyzer. Thanks
