Fluorat-02-series
 |
|
Fluorat-02-series Analyzers
employ the modular principle to diversify the highly sensitive and
selective luminescent analysis technique. The base unit, Fluorat-02,
is a filter-based fluorometer, photometer, and chemoluminometer.
All these modes of operation are implemented in the same optoelectronic
scheme. In addition, the Fluorat-02-2M version is a time-resolving
fluorometer, which can be used as a fluorometric detector in any
HPLC system. The analyzers are equipped with high-pressure xenon
arc lamps, with a high-intensity light in the 200-650-nm spectral
range, and are furnished with appropriate sets of light filters
and measuring cells. Fluorat-02-02/3M analyzers operate in
a user-friendly menu mode to analyze common contaminants, such as
petroleum hydrocarbons, phenols, surfactants, formaldehyde, nitrites,
nitrates, sulfides, fluorides, and a number of elements. The software
package allows for saving calibration tables and background value
for 16 different components in the built-in memory, and for printing
out the results of analysis. These analyzers can also operate with
a fiber optic cable to measure luminescence or reflected light from
the surface of an outside sample, such as paper, cathodoluminophors,
etc. The small (300x300x90 mm) and light-weight (8 kg) analyzers

| Microwave sample digestion |
|
Minotavr
 |
|
Minotavr Microwave Sample Digestor
provides automated full preparation of any samples for an elemental
analysis by the AAS, luminescence, or photometric technique. A sample
of such an organic substance as meat, fish, grains, bread, vegetables
and fruits, potable or waste water, soft drinks and alcoholic beverages,
tea and coffee, etc., is digested by a controlled 2450-MHz and 40-400-W
microwave field in a closed vessel under pressure up to 8 atm, which
ensures fast complete, and reproducible digestion, preventing the
sample from a loss of readily volatile elements and reducing the
consumption of reagents. Normally, a 2-g solid or 50-ml liquid sample
is completely decomposed in 15 to 30 min. |
