Mercury analyzer FIAS series

laboratoryautomatedsampling

The FIAS is a fully integrated and automated flow injection mercury/hydride analysis system that provides new levels of automation and sample handling for AA, ICP and ICP-MS, dramatically increasing laboratory productivity and capability. The FIAS-100 has a single peristaltic pump for carrier, reagent and sample solutions. A five-port valve permits flow switching and precise sampling with interchangeable sample loops. Carrier gas flow is controlled via a flowmeter display. A quartz cell with removable quartz windows is provided for FI-mercury or hydride determinations. The cell can be heated with either an air-acetylene flame or an optional temperature-regulated electrically heated cell assembly. The FIAS systems are equipped with an RS232 interface. A supply of start-up materials and all manuals are included. A push-button device for manual program starts is supplied with the FIAS-100. Other options for the FIAS-100 include the alternate reagent kit. The FIAS-400 has two peristaltic pumps for carrier, reagent and sample solutions. A five-port valve permits flow switching and precise sampling with interchangeable sample loops. Carrier gas flow is controlled via a flowmeter display. Two peristaltic pumps are required if the analysis calls for: two solutions to be pumped at different flow rates (on-line dilution) the addition of multiple reagents the use of an on-line microwave digestion technique The FIAS systems are equipped with an RS232 interface. A supply of start-up materials and all manuals are included. Other options for the FIAS-400 include the alternate reagent kit.
