Features of QuikChem® 8500 Series 2
- Run up to 5 channels for high productivity analysis or dedicated operation
- New 2-cm flow cell flow injection analysis methods allow more signal for detection at lower levels
- Run Omnion 3.0 software on Windows Vista operating systems
- Interface Omnion software in multiple languages - including Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, and Italian
Over 500 Method Variations Available The QuikChem 8500 Series 2 system uses reliable, accurate Flow Injection Analysis (FIA) technology. Flow Injection Anaylsis 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:
- Methods complying with USEPA, ISO, and DIN standards
- Customized method development available
- Simple to run in-line preparation methods
- Many new methods - including Lachat's new Ultra-High Throughput flow injection analysis methods
