Low Level Phosphate Analysis on the San++ Continuous Flow Analyser

Sub ppb detections levels can be achieved for the automated Phosphate method by implementing a special flow cell in the San++. This long pathlength flow cell combines an increased optical pathlength of 50 cm with a small sample volume of 125 μl. This makes this application particularly well suited for challenging samples with ultra low concentrations of Phosphate as for instance in seawater, but also for Phosphate analysis in other aqueous samples such as drinking & surface water.

In this configuration the San++ can measure concentrations of down to 0.07 μg Phosphate/L.

The high sensitivity of Phosphate analysis obtained with this new flowcel makes Skalar’s (Netherlands) San++ analyser the perfect choice for detecting extremely low levels of Phosphate and other parameters in aqueous samples.
