With integrated sample preparation- or sample digesion modules like Ammonia, Detergents, Phenols, Cyanides, TN, TP.
Maximum productivity based on Flow Injection Analysis (FIA)
The QUIKCHEM 8500 utilizes reliable, accurate FIA technology. Scientists trying to process large numbers of samples initially developed FIA when they became frustrated with productivity delays caused by segmented flow analysers (SFA). These initial innovations became the building blocks of Flow Injection Analysis:
- Elimination of bubbles from the analytical stream.
- Reduction of the inner diameter of the reactor tubing.
- Precise injection of samples into the analytical stream.
|
The result was an analysis system that produced analytical peaks with very rapid rise and recovery times and provided complete inter-sample washout, preventing carryover between samples. As the technology evolved, many other aspects of FIA were discovered that have become uniquely beneficial to routine analytical laboratories. FIA productivity characteristics include:
- Fast startup and shutdown (approximately five minutes) times allow for rapid method changeover.
- Rapid analysis times (typically 20 to 60 seconds) allow samples to be analysed in near real-time, while data quality can be monitored and controlled during the analysis.
- High sample throughput (typically 60 to 120 samples per hour).
- Broad working range (sub-ppb to percents).
- Wide dynamic range (typically two to three decades).

As a result of these characteristics, analysts now enjoy time savings with improved accuracy and quality control.
