PMA Ltd is proud to introduce i::scan - a new low cost LED technology based multi-parameter spectrophotometer. 

From cost sensitive UV – Transmissivity monitoring to multi-parameter organics/Turbidity/UV254 applications, from small unmanned plants to large distribution networks, the i::scan has it covered. The new i::scan combines the high performance of a multi wavelength LED based spectrophotometer with competitive pricing and electronic filtration of dissolved compounds from solids.

S::cans latest product, the i::scan is compact, precise robust and very affordable!

The removal of non-dissolved substances is an important goal for drinking water treatment. The i::scan_turbidity can be used by potablewater utilities in a myriad of applications and locations, either at treatment works, or out within pressurised water main networks. Turbidity/Colour/Organics/UVT are also key parameters for raw and process water monitoring including disinfection.  The natural waters used as the source for drinking water production, as well as waters used for other purposes such as energy production or cooling can now be monitored deep within catchment areas such that source water selection and/or blending can be achieved. Only i::scan is capable of crossing so many boundaries into so many applications. 

Benefits of the i::scan include - no moving parts, low cost, no reagents, small footprint, and led technology. the i::scan is available for turbidity/TSS, colour, uv254, UVT, TOC, and COD.
