Aluminium and Iron Analysis in Drinking and Waste Water

15 Feb 2007

Product news

The latest additions to the Alert Colorimeter range from Applikon Analytical are the new colorimetric Iron and Aluminium analyzer. Designed for reliability and minimal operator attendance the Alert analyzer is perfect for drinking and waste water analysis.

Both analyzers utilize the unique Differential Absorbance Colorimetry (DAC) methodology to prevent sample colour or turbidity interfering with the analysis result.

The Alert Colorimeter for Iron provides analysis in the range 0.002 mg/l to 1 mg/l with an analysis time of less than 10 minutes. Reagent consumption is extremely low at 0.5 ml per reagent per analysis.

The Alert Colorimeter for Aluminium provides analysis in the range of 0 - 1 mg/l with an analysis time of approximately 10 minutes. Reagent consumption is also low at 2.5 ml per analysis.

Automatic calibration checks are carried out either on a periodic basis or as a conditional action to validate out of range results. The Alert Colorimeter features extensive I/O capabilities such as high result relays, remote start/stop and analogue outputs. The running costs are kept to a minimum by minimal consumables and attendance for planned maintenance is usually carried out on an annual basis.

UV-Visible SpectroscopyUltraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometers are used to measure the interaction of UV and visible light with a sample, including transmission, reflectance & absorbance. The two major instrument classes are single-beam or double-beam spectrophotometers. More specialized equipment includes colorimeters, spectroradiometers and refractometers. Portable and microvolume spectrophotometers are also available. For the modular spectroscopy lab, explore a range of light sources for combination with a spectrograph/spectrometer and optics. Find the best UV-Vis spectroscopy products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Environmental Monitoring and TestingEnvironmental monitoring and testing uses handheld portable analyzers, kits, spectrometers or chromatography systems for air, water, soil, food and other sample testing. Useful features of analyzers such as BOD and COD include portability, easy calibration, automation and sensitivity.  Environmental test kits for pH, water, moisture, etc, should be accurate, sensitive, reliable, fast and easy to use.TitrationTitration is an analytical technique for determining substance concentration in a solution. For titration consider a manual or automated system, volumetric or coulometric reagent addition and indication by a potentiometer, spectrometer, turbidometer or by the Karl Fischer method. Other features of titration to consider include burettes, reagents, concentration range, reaction time and autosamplers.
