Environmental and Water analysis seminar

Metrohm UK will be running a complimentary technical seminar on "Environmental and Water analysis" on 14th June at the Heritage Motor Museum, Gaydon, Warwickshire

Metrohm UK will be running a complimentary technical seminar on "Environmental and Water analysis", starting at 09.45 and finishing by 15.45 on 14th June at the Heritage Motor Museum, Gaydon, Warwickshire.

Without exception environmental monitoring is becoming the most important area of analysis whether this be on-line testing or laboratory analysis.

Most companies believe they have the necessary equipment to carry out analysis in accordance with current legislation.

What perhaps people don't consider are the impending legislation and directives which effectively means their current equipment will no longer be capable of achieving detection limits or complying with new methodology.

The aim of this seminar is to discuss the current equipment available from Metrohm , which will not only meet the current requirements, but will meet future legislation too.

A range of our products will be on show and our team of specialists would be happy to discuss your requirements during the day.

Metrohm UK will also launch at this seminar the market leading Applikon range of on-line analysis equipment.

Guest Speakers include Dr Phil Jones, of the Oceanography Department at Plymouth University and currently involved at the cutting edge of ion chromatography column development.

Heike Risse, World Product Manager for Automation in Metrohm at Herisau in Switzerland.

Jan Huiskamp, European Manager, Analyser Division for Applikon On-Line Analysers.

The products to be discussed.

* On-line analysis - Applikon Equipment: Metrohm UK are proud to announce the acquisition of the Applikon range of on-line analysis equipment.

This includes: On-line process instruments for COD , alkalinity , ammonia , cyanide , chlorine , fluoride plus many other ions.

* The new MARGA (Monitor for Aerosols and Gases in Ambient Air) instrument for continuous monitoring of air.

* The new ON-line VA system with integral digester.

Trace Metal Analysis using Voltammetry: Voltammetry ( VA) can achieve part per billion limits of detection for trace metals and for a fraction of the cost of other analytical techniques e.g ICP , ICP-MS , AAS.

In addition to this VA can also be used for analysis of other species such as anions , and electrochemically active organics.

Running costs are minimal and the added advantage of being able to speciate metals e.g Cr3+/Cr6+ means that VA is one of the fastest growing analytical techniques today.

* Ion Chromatography: Ion Chromatography (IC) as an analytical tool from Metrohm has undergone tremendous growth over the last few years partly due to its affordable initial capital outlay and subsequent low running costs, but primarily because it is an extremely powerful and versatile technique that affords the end user a wide range of quantitative information requiring only a small amount of sample.

* TitrIC - The Powerful Combination of Titration and Ion Chromatography, TitrIC, opens new possibilities in ion analysis through the unique combination of titration and ion chromatography.

TitrIC fully enables the automatic analysis of drinking water.

All ionic components are determined quickly, reliably and reproducibly.

A full range of parameters such as pH , conductivity , hardness , anions /cations can be presented as a single report or stored in the integral database.

* pH - the correct electrodes and measurement: pH is the most used technique in any laboratory these days , however it is probably one of the lest understood parameters to most analysts.

The correct choice of electrode is very important if one is to get the optimum result , other important considerations should be storage of electrode and electrolyte filling solution.
