New Heavy Metals Analyser Launched

Wagtech International Limited (UK) specialists in the design and manufacture of high quality portable instruments for water quality and environmental monitoring, have launched a new portable heavy metals analyser; the Metalyser HM1000.

Heavy metals in water are odourless, tasteless and colourless. Traditional detection methods require a fixed site laboratory using highly advanced and expensive analytical instruments. The need for analysis in the field is increasingly becoming more and more important.

This is where the Metalyser offers significant benefits. Developed with the end user in mind, the aim has been to make the whole analysis procedure as simple as possible, allowing the Metalyser to be used by all, irrespective of their training or expertise. The Metalyser will measure 5 heavy metals in water; Arsenic, Mercury, Cadmium, Lead and Copper. Based upon the accepted method of Anodic Stripping Voltammetry, the instrument allows simultaneous measurement of multiple parameters down to low ppb levels.

With a range of unique features and innovative technical developments, trials have confirmed the ease of use and shown the Metalyser to be accurate with good repeatability. Providing results in less than 10 minutes, it makes accurate, on-site testing of heavy metals a reality.
