No commercially available atomic absorption spectrometers use acetylene+oxygen flames. It is only possible to safely use this mixture when the gases are mixed at the point of combustion - as in a welding torch, and the mixture cannot be used to establish a stable, long pathlength flame that is needed. All AA flames use pre-mixed combusion gases, almost invariably air+acetylene (about 2300'C) or nitrous oxide+acetylene (around 3000'C). Steve Morton. Wow this article downright blows compared to the De version. Anyone know german?--Deglr6328 01:17, 3 November 2006 (UTC) To be fair, the German version is on "atomic spectroscopy," so it covers a wider range of topics. -Kholst
