What Does AAD Stand For?
AAD stands for Atomic Absorption Detector
AAD, or Atomic Absorption Detector, is an analytical instrument used to measure the concentration of specific metal ions in a sample. It operates on the principle of atomic absorption spectroscopy, where light emitted from a specific wavelength is absorbed by free atoms, allowing for precise quantification of elemental constituents in various matrices. AAD is widely utilized in environmental, pharmaceutical, and food safety applications due to its sensitivity and accuracy in trace metal analysis.
