TOC measurement range: 0-30000 mg/L, and the detection limit is 4 μg/L; TN measurement range: 0-500 mg / L and the detection limit up to 50 μg/L.
QuickChem 8500 series 2 flow injection analyzer, equipment with five modules, total phosphorus, total nitrogen, nitrate/ nitrite, ammonia, ortho-phosphorus. The auto sampler could hold 180 samples and 10 standards at one time. According to the sample analysis process, the whole process analysis of each sample is automatically completed by computer software control. FIA owns comprehensive methods database for surface water, groundwater, seawater, sewage, soil, plants, fertilizers, fermentation process and detergent etc.
FLASH 2000 CHNS system consist with MAS200 auto sampler and Mettler XP6 microbalance (6.1g * 1 μg). This system delivers the ultimate in simplicity, precision, and cost effectiveness for any laboratory requiring the quantification of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and sulfur. Analytical accuracy: C, H, N ≤ 0.3%, S ≤ 0.5% (absolute standard error);
DMA-80 has been at the forefront of direct total mercury analysis for almost two decades. It can analyze any matrix (solid, liquid or gas) without any pre-treatment or chemical additions in as few as 6 minutes. Equipped with an advanced catalyst tube and gold amalgamator to provide high-end performance, full mercury conversion, interference removal, and fast mercury release. These allow the DMA-80 evo to deliver fast and accurate results in a single measurement, providing symmetrical peaks and avoiding mercury overestimation or underestimation.
