1 The Spectroquant Analysis SystemSafety in water analysisMRight on target every is today a decisive factor in water and wastewater Analysis after all, the measurement resultsmust be reliable. Our extensive range of tools forquality assurance ensure that thevalues that you record in your measurements become secure, reproducible, and officially recog-nized analytical kitsPhotometersSample preparationGuaranteed qualityTested qualityQuality assurance from start to finishFor us, quality starts with the production of our checks ensure a consistently high We give you thisguarantee in writing, too; lot certificate, quality certificate, test seal, and validation of theanalytical methods are signs ofour commitment to to make it easier for you to check the quality whenever you wish to, we also offer a comprehensive range of equip-ment. Using the PhotoCheck,CombiCheck, and PipeCheck products and the thermosensorsyou can check the quality of your working materials and modeof operation from start to when the safety of the overall System is given it is possible to guarantee the accuracy of your is the red threadDocumentationServiceIt's readily apparent that the overall System is secure and accurate only when each part ofthe System meshes well with theothers and the quality demandsare met by each component of the System .

2 The overall System is more thanmerely the sum of its parts. Easy to handle, an excellent step-by-step description of the workingprocedure, and thus safety in their use these are the features that characterize the Spectroquant testkits. The calibration is another aspectthat no longer need concern you: all test kits are already stored in of the colour reaction:Simply. Comprehensive. A made-to-measure test kit for every analytical task. +=Sample(Cu ion)blue colorantdye which is measured in the photometerReagent(Cuprizone)Test kitsTasks in the area of environmentalanalysis are comprehensivelycovered: no matter whether you'redealing with drinking water, surface water, process water,municipal or industrial waste-water, disposal drainage water,refuse, or soils there are over120 different Spectroquant testkits and numerous applicationsavailable representing competentsolutions all out of one hand. The range of parameters has beentuned to the special requirementsof everyday practice and isexpanded parameterssuch as COD are con-ventional parameters.

3 The chemistry employedby the Spectroquant test kits conforms with the relevant standards and bears the USEPAA pproved seal issued by the American Environ-mental Protection Agency. Seven different measuringranges for COD enableyou to obtain accurateresults without having to dilute samples. Nutrientssuch as N and P are ofmajor relevance in allwater bodies. The stepsfor the pretreatment ofsamples necessary toensure that the total contents are measuredare already integrated in the Spectroquant Cell substancessuch as cadmium, chromate, cyanide, andlead must be detectableeven in the trace range another aspect fulfilled by the Spectroquant test metalsare other substances thatmust be detected in electroplating and textile-industrial wastewater. An optimal sample pre-treatment is absolutelyessential in this connec-tion. Spectroquant Crack Sets ensure thecomplete digestion ofsamples as nitrate, nitrite,chloride, fluoride, andsulfate are of essentialrelevance not only in thearea of drinking-watersupply.

4 A practically oriented selection ofSpectroquant test kitsleaves no question Spectroquant analyticalmethods are validated, meaningthat the quality is defined and certified. The validation data are determined for everySpectroquant test kit and documented in the validation Cell Tests One of the outstanding features ofour Cell Tests is their user-friendlyhandling. Virtually all of the reagents needed for the analysisare already contained predosed inthe cell. The barcode on each cellidentifies it unmistakably. Whenthe cell is inserted into the photo-meter, the barcode enables thecorrect method to be selectedautomatically, virtually preventingthe occurrence of mix-ups at Legally secure. The validation of an analytical method is an absolute MUST in this day and age. Validation means legal security. Reaction cellsThe cells are made of special high-quality glasswith excellent opticalcharacteristics. Additional reagentsOther reagents that arerequired for the determi-nation or for the sample pretreatment are containedin easy-to-handle labelParameters and cataloguenumber, hazard warnings,the contents, and mostimportantly the barcode a lot of information in asmall leafletAll the information youneed for example thereaction principle, preciseworking instructions, areaand scope of application,influence of foreign ions,data on the accuracy all presented conciselyin the package packaging providesideal protection for the cells during ship-ment as well as againsttemperature variationsand moisture.

Since you can select the cellformat, the measuring range ishighly variable. The linearity of the calibration function is testedfor each individual cell format. TheAutoSelector contained in eachpack is fitted with a barcode thatensures that the correct method isselected in the photometer.

Yourphotometer automatically savesthe new data job done!Quality AssuranceAnalytical Quality Assurance is anabsolute must in the water-analysisfield. We have already set theswitch to meet this challenge of the future. The Spectroquant photometers give you the supportyou need for comprehensive AQA, guaranteeing the GLP-conformingdocumentation of your measure-ment results in the process.

9 Analytical Quality Assurance (AQA)is realized by innovative equipmenttechnology in the recognitionEach test kit is made unmistakableby means of a barcode. When thecell or the AutoSelector (in thecase of Analysis using reagenttests) is inserted, the barcode isscanned by the photometer. Thedevice automatically identifies the method, retrieves the storeddata, and in a matter of secondsshows the measurement value onthe display in the desired settings are a thing of the heart of the photometers, theoptical System , is robust and isnot subject to any mechanicalwear and tear, since it does notcontain any moving parts. State-of-the-art electronics support the optics. In the Spectroquant NOVA 30 and NOVA 60 photo-meters, there are six and, respectively, twelve narrow-bandinterference filters and photo-diodes in array technology thattake care of the measurements. An optical module plus a photo-diode array these are the essential features of theSpectroquant NOVA 400 for on-the-spot useThe two photometers Spectroquant NOVA 30A and NOVA 60A can beoptionally ordered with a recharge-able powerpack that enables up toabout 500 measurements to be madeeach Convenient.

10 Only the best is good enough. Automatic cell recognitionThe Spectroquant NOVA 60 andNOVA 400 photometers feature an automatic recognition of rectangular cells. The photometeridentifies the optical path length ofthe inserted cell and immediatelycalculates the correct concentra-tion. Errors due to the incorrect choice of cells are thus correctionTurbid measurement solutions area typical cause of measurementerrors. Turbidity is generally independent on the the diode-array technologypermits the simultaneous measurement at several different wavelengths, any turbidity present in the sample solution is recognized and automatically InformationCat.
