The RS1 Colorimetric Analyzer is designed to automate time-consuming ASTM laboratory based tests in a process setting while producing accurate concentration measurements for many water quality applications.
Designed for ease-of-use, simply connect the sample inlet and outlet, reagent, and waste lines and power up the analyzer. Information and customization options are easily accessible via the 7” intuitive touch screen display and user-friendly software. Users will benefit from a higher volume of testing and faster turnaround time while increasing precision, reproducibility, and throughput.
The RS1 also reduces human error and enables laboratory personnel to be more productive by focusing less on repetitive tasks. Compared to traditional manual sampling, the RS1 provides operators with a real-time indication of actual process conditions.
The RS1 is designed to perform fully automated colorimetric measurements and deliver the product of the chemical reaction to an analysis cell in a process setting. The system first retrieves a known volume of sample from a stream and mixes it with up to three reagents in succession. After each reagent addition, a mixing cycle is performed followed by a variable reaction delay. Once the reagent addition process is complete, the final solution is transported to a heated measurement cell where the compound of interest can be determined via an absorbance measurement. The RS1 is designed to be mounted near to the pipeline containing the sample of interest which is retreived from the pipeline via a fast loop.
