Riverview, FL, January 2011…

Environmental testing labs rejoice! The new Metrohm 887 UV/VIS detector is paired with an 881 Ion Chromatograph and Dosino® PCR delivery system for ultra-low determination of hexavalent chromium. In fact, calibration levels down to 12.5 ppt—well below California’s proposed rule, and the EPA’s latest recommendation—have been achieved.

Key features of the 887 UV/VIS detector include a diode array with 512 diodes, and the ability to select up to 8 variable wavelengths from 190 – 900 nm. The system is capable of recording the spectrum any time during the run, and up to 10 absorption maxima of any spectrum may be obtained to optimize the wavelength for a particular application.
