Safe and Eco-Friendly Analysis of Industrial Water  

When it comes to industrial wastewater analysis, your testing materials must be tested as rigorously as the wastewater itself, and that’s exactly how we at Merck designed our Spectroquant® test kits.

Many Spectroquant® analysis methods conform with international standards and are thus comparable with references. All Spectroquant® analysis methods are validated. Validation data are registered for each single Spectroquant® test kit and recorded in the validation document.

One of our greatest goals is to reduce the amounts of hazardous or toxic chemicals in our test kits. Some examples Nitrate test: the 2.6 dimethylphenol method is cadmium-free and non-carcinogenic; Lead test: chloroform-free extraction, and Anionic surfactants test: avoids direct exposure to chemicals due to pre-sealed, benzene-free extraction.

What’s more, Spectroquant® comes with comprehensive information on disposal and waste management issues.

Cell test kits

The characteristic feature of the Spectroquant® cell test kits is their high user-friendliness. Virtually all of the reagents necessary for the analysis are contained in cells. When you insert your cell into a Spectroquant® NOVA or Pharo photometer, the bar-code on the cells make the instruments automatically select the correct method of analysis.

Reagent test kits

Spectroquant® reagent test kits contain highly stable, ready-to-use reagent mixtures. Selection of the appropriate cell format makes it easy to vary the measuring range as you require. We check the linearity of the calibration function for all cell formats. Each pack contains an AutoSelector that gives the bar-code for the selection of the correct method in the photometer.

Spectroquant® test kits can be used in conjunction with all spectrophotometers and also with photometers from other suppliers.
