Aurora Instruments Ltd., based in Vancouver Canada is dedicated to designing, manufacturing and servicing scientific instruments, including Atomic Absorption Spectrometer (AAS), Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometer (AFS), UV/Vis Spectrophotometers, and Microwave Digestion systems and VERSA liquid handling systems. These instruments are used to accelerate research in elemental analysis, genomics, proteomics and drug discovery.

Since the debut of the patented Capacitively Coupled Plasma source at the 1991 Pittcon conference in Chicago, Aurora Instruments’ products have been the subject of numerous journal articles, product reviews and have been displayed on the covers of a number of publications including Spectroscopy. 

Aurora Instruments’ products have many established, unique applications. One unique "element analysis" application is the analysis of phosphorous in nickel and cobalt powders using the AI 2200 Plasma Emission Spectrometer. A second is the determination of high temperature elements such as Si and Al using the AI 1200 Atomic Absorption Spectrometer’s spatially and temporally isothermal graphite furnace atomizer.

At Aurora Instruments it is a top priority that our users receive strong dependable customer support. That’s why we have assembled a team of application chemists and engineers to quickly and accurately assist you with method development, thus maximizing instrument performance and minimizing instrument down times.

The company has also secured the support of the Canadian Commercial Corporation (CCC). The CCC gives overseas buyers the assurance that Canadian suppliers have the financial and technical capabilities required to conform with bid specifications, contract terms and conditions, and suppliers’ warranties.
