LACHAT Quick Chem QC8500 Series 2 Flow Injection Analysis PDS 200 Dilutor

The Lachat QuikChem 8500 Series 2 Flow Injection AnalysisSystem features high sample throughput and simple, but rapid, method changeover. The QuikChem 8500 Series 2 system maximizes productivity in determining ionic species in a variety of sample types—from sub-ppb to percentconcentrations. More than 500 methods are available forenvironmental, agronomic and industrial applications—including EPA-accepted methods.

• MAXIMUM PRODUCTIVITY WITH FIA TECHNOLOGY
• TIME SAVINGS WITH IMPROVED ACCURACY AND QUALITY CONTROL
• OVER 500 METHOD VARIATIONS AVAILABLE

MAXIMUM PRODUCTIVITY WITH FIA TECHNOLOGY

The QuikChem 8500 Series 2 system uses reliable, accurate Flow Injection Analysis (FIA) technology. FIA technology was developed when scientists processing large numbers of samples experienced productivity delays while using Segmented Flow Analysis (SFA). Innovations of Flow Injection Analysis include:
• Bubble elimination from the analytical stream.
• Reduced inner diameter of the reactor tubing.
• Precise injection of samples into the analytical stream.

TIME SAVINGS WITH IMPROVED ACCURACY AND QUALITY CONTROL

FIA technology produces analytical peaks with very rapid rise and recovery times and provides complete inter-sample washout to prevent carry-over between samples. Other FIA productivity characteristics include:
• Fast startup and shutdown times approximately five minutes for rapid method changeover.
• Rapid analysis times typically 20 to 60 seconds let samples be analyzed in near real-time while data quality can be monitored and controlled during the analysis.
• High sample through-put typically 60 to 120 samples/hour.
• Broad working range sub-ppb to percents.
• Wide dynamic range typically two to three decades.

• Many new methods including Lachat’s new ultra-high throughput methods.

PDS 200

Lachat’s precision autodilutor, the PDS200, used with the QuikChem 8500^® Series Instruments, shines with numerous advantages:

• Uses a single, rather than dual piston system, decreasing the time per dilution.
• Improves accuracy—the PDS200 performs dilutions over the range of 1.6- to 4000-fold within 10% accuracy. Used with 13 x 100 mm tubes (21200) 90 position rack (21301L)
• Eliminates carryover issues.
• Easy to access tubing connections.
• Easy to clean and maintain.

Uses a single, rather than dual piston system, decreasing the time per dilution.

Can be used to prepare standards from a stock solution, dilute samples known to be over range; and when the software detects an over range sample, it will be diluted automatically.
