The AQ400 is designed to meet the high demands for analytical accuracy in environmental samples. It is equipped with advanced robotics for fast sample handling and can handle a large amount of samples with high precision. The system is optimised to reduce the risk of cross-contamination and offers several automation features to simplify operation.
Features and benefits
✅ Used as a stand-alone spectrophotometer: Ideal for COD analyses and other specific applications.
✅ High throughput and quiet operation: the AQ400 handles a large number of samples without disturbing noise levels.
✅ Advanced robotics: Provides fast sample preparation per hour for increased efficiency.
✅ No cross-contamination: Thanks to the optically clean and inert glass cuvette recommended by the EPA.
✅ Low detection limit: Support for longer optical path lengths and automatic blanking function for improved sensitivity.
✅ Programmable tests per sample: Optimised to reduce the overall time of the analysis system and can handle up to 10 working standards for the calibration curve.
✅ Fully automated unattended operation: Ideal for night runs that streamline laboratory work.
✅ Environmental standards: ISO & USEPA approved methods for both wastewater and drinking water and UKAS methods according to the UK Blue Book.
