What Does AED Stand For?
AED stands for Atomic Emission Detector
An Atomic Emission Detector (AED) is an analytical instrument used to identify and quantify chemical elements within a sample based on the light emitted during atomic excitation. Utilizing techniques such as flame or plasma ionization, the AED measures specific wavelengths of emitted light, providing valuable data for applications in environmental monitoring, materials analysis, and quality control in various industries. Its sensitivity and precision make it a crucial tool for researchers and analysts in the fields of chemistry and materials science.
