Modern Water develops new trace metal analyser

UK-based membrane technologies company Modern Water has added new product OVA7000 Dual Cell to its trace metal analyser product portfolio.

The dual cell extends the range of detectable metals to up to ten in a single unit and offers 24-hour monitoring of three to six sample streams.

Using voltammetry to detect metals in liquid applications, the new analyser can be used to detect contaminants in rivers, lakes, groundwater and the sea to monitor process and drinking water quality and industrial and municipal wastewater discharges.

Voltammetry is an internationally accepted detection method that offers an alternative solution to lengthy laboratory analysis. It is used in the entire OVA product range.

The new monitor has two analytical cells, and can be fitted with a different electrode while sharing one pre-treatment unit. The dual cell allows for the analysis of metals that would previously have required two separate instruments.

Modern Water monitoring division managing director Neil Townend said that the OVA7000 Dual Cell is a key new product in the company’s OVA range.

"It has been designed with careful consideration of the needs and demands of the market and provides greater flexibility of the variety of metals that can be detected in a single unit," Townend added.
