FIAlab-2500 - For Classical
Flow Injection Analysis
|
The FIAlab-2500 offers a complete
automated flow injection analysis system, including
FIAlab for Windows
control software, and the UV/VIS (or VIS/NIR) spectrometer based detector. The
low cost of the FIAlab-2500 makes this system appealing to academic teaching
and research laboratories. The robust design and adaptability make it the best
choice for commercial laboratories performing routine
Agricultural and Environmental Assays such as Nitrate, Nitrite,
Ammonia, Phosphate, Chloride, and Iron. Most of these methods are fully
EPA approved. Please inquire for information on specific assays
not listed in the above link.
Benefits and Advantages: 1) no need to purchase separate
expensive manifolds for each type of method. 2) wavelength selections
are made through software, no additional filters or lamps are required when
switching between methods. 3) monitoring multiple wavelengths (up to
four) substantially extends the system's dynamic range. 4) further
extend range by simultaneous use of a short and long path flowcell (optional
configuration). 5) reference
wavelengths are utilized for compensation of colored matrices and index of
refraction affects. 6) adjust sample loop size via.
software using timed injections. No need to physically change a sample
loop when switching assays. 7) multiple channel systems can be separated and
run as multiple single channel systems when desired. 8) automatic
correction for response drift (for example, caused by degradation of the
Cadmium column during the course of a run). 9) available with 180, 270,
and 360 sample capacity autosamplers. 10) the FIAlab-2500 is easy to
learn, easy to run, and simple to maintain.

Dual Channel System Configured
for Nitrate (left), and Ammonia. Compare to the Dual Channel
FIAlab-2600. |
Multichannel FIAlab-2500 systems are used for processing
simultaneous assays. Up to four systems can be connected for multiple
simultaneous analyte processing. For instance, a dual channel system can
simultaneously process Nitrate and Phosphate, or Nitrate and Chloride. A three
channel system can simultaneously process, e.g., Ammonia, Phosphate, and
Nitrate.
Ultra Low Level Assays - The FIAlab-2500 can be configured to measure nitrite,
nitrate, plus other analytes in the low parts per billion range using a 10 cm
long path flowcell. Please inquire for additional information.

Dual
Channel FIAlab-2500
In the above example, Nitrate was measured at
540 (blue) and 600 nm (green),
and Chloride was measured at 480 (cyan)
and 520 nm (red). Monitoring each
analyte at two or more wavelengths can dramatically increase the dynamic
range, where the optimal wavelength is used for lower concentrations, and
the suboptimal wavelength for higher concentrations.

Will the FIAlab-2500 meet your analytical requirements?
Nearly any method that can
be performed by colorimetric flow injection analysis can be performed by the FIAlab-2500. The FIAlab-2500 is well suited for use in
water quality testing, soil sample analysis, pharmaceutical drug research,
fermentation monitoring, and academic teaching and research. Optional accessories give the FIAlab-2500
unprecedented flexibility. Please
contact FIAlab Instruments to discuss the optimal configuration to meet your
laboratory requirements.

SCSP-2500 |
Auto Dilutor
- No need to prepare multiple standards, let the
SCSP-2500
dilutor prepare the standards automatically. The
SCSP-2500
aspirates standards and samples from

sample loop to the desired dilution level. Accurate dilutions up to
twenty fold. Easily create calibration curves from a single standard. |
|
RQV |
The new Rapid Queuing Valve option allows assays of phosphate and
ammonia to be performed at around nine seconds per sample with no loss of

not compatible with the SCSP-2500 autodilutor option. Please inquire for
additional information to see if the Rapid Queuing Valve will work with your
specific application(s). |
