Varian 56-101070-00 Hollow Cathode Lamp
The Varian 56-101070-00 Hollow Cathode Lamp is a spectroscopy light source associated with atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). Hollow cathode lamps are used as element-specific radiation sources in atomic absorption instruments, providing the characteristic spectral emission required for absorption measurements. For laboratories maintaining older Varian instrumentation, the exact 56-101070-00 part number is important when identifying a replacement or surplus lamp.
In an AAS workflow, the hollow cathode lamp works with the optical system of the spectrometer to provide radiation at wavelengths associated with the element being measured. The analytical signal is obtained from the reduction in transmitted light caused by absorption by free atoms in the sample. This makes lamp identification an important part of maintaining the intended optical configuration of an atomic absorption system.
Key Features
- Varian hollow cathode lamp identified by part number 56-101070-00.
- Intended for atomic absorption spectroscopy applications.
- Functions as a dedicated spectroscopy light-source component within an AAS optical system.
- Useful for instrument maintenance, replacement sourcing, and spare-parts inventory management.
Applications
Typical AAS workflows use hollow cathode lamps for elemental analysis of prepared samples in analytical, environmental, industrial, pharmaceutical, and research laboratories. The appropriate lamp is selected according to the analytical element and instrument configuration. When replacing a lamp in an existing Varian system, the exact part number should be checked against the instrument documentation and the lamp currently specified for the analytical method.
This product should be evaluated as a component rather than as a complete spectrometer. Manufacturer information about the lamp’s intended application does not establish the condition, operating history, remaining useful life, or performance of the individual used or surplus unit. Buyers should verify the part number and physical configuration before integrating it into an instrument.
