  • Patent number: 11047802
    Abstract: The invention relates to a tube furnace device for an atomizing furnace and to an analyzing apparatus comprising an atomizing furnace and a tube furnace device, in particular for atomic absorption spectrometry, the tube furnace device comprising a sample carrier means (11) and a bearing means (12) for supporting and forming electrical contact with the sample carrier means, the sample carrier means having a receiving tube (16) forming a tubular receiving space (17) for receiving an analyte, the sample carrier means having two bearing protrusions on the receiving tube for forming a connection with the bearing means, the bearing protrusions extending perpendicularly, preferably orthogonally, in relation to a longitudinal axis of the receiving tube, wherein the tube furnace device has a contact pressure means (13) via which a contact pressure force (14) can be exerted on the bearing protrusions in the direction of a passant line (20) in relation to a circular cross section (21) of the receiving tube.

  • Patent number: 9261306
    Abstract: An atomizing furnace, in particular for atomic absorption spectroscopy, includes a tube furnace apparatus and a sample carrier. The sample carrier is disposed within the tube furnace apparatus, and includes at least three supporting protrusions by which the sample carrier is punctually supported on an interior wall of the tube furnace apparatus. The supporting protrusions are disposed in a common plane running through a longitudinal axis of the sample material, wherein at least two supporting protrusions are formed on respectively opposite ends of the sample carrier.
