Metalyser HM1000

PORTABLE HEAVY METALS ANALYSER

Heavy metals analysis in the eld to ppb levels Simple, fast, effective testing for Arsenic, Cadmium, Copper, Mercury and Lead

WAGTECH METALYSER HM 1000

Contamination of our water resources by toxic heavy metals is increasingly becoming a problem the world over. Widespread industrial and urban pollution is responsible for introducing these heavy metals into the environment. This problem is particularly acute in the developing world where unchecked industrial growth, lack of monitoring facilities and failure to enforce environmental regulations only serves to add to the severity of the situation. The Wagtech METALYSER HM1000 has been designed specically to allow easier, more cost-effective monitoring of the heavy meatls most commonly associated with health and environmental problems.
Developed and manufactured solely in the UK, the METALYSER offers a breakthrough in terms of a simple-to-use eld instrument that offers high levels of accuracy at an attractive price. Electrochemical analysis of heavy metals in water has traditionally proved difcult in the eld. By combining the proven method of Anodic Stripping Voltemmetry (ASV) along with an innovative sensor design and a simple reagent delivery system, Wagtech has developed an instrument than can nally deliver reproducible results on site. The design of the METALYSER allows the addition of future parameters without the need to upgrade the instrument. Methods for Chromium, Nickel and Cobalt are currently under development.

BENEFITS
Field based detection of heavy metals in water down to ppb levels Arsenic, Cadmium, Copper Lead & Mercury Simple to use Rapid results on site No need for costly laboratory based analysis Signicant cost savings, against existing technologies No complicated sample preparation Minimal use of reagents & consumables Measurements taken directly in water source No PC required

SONDE
The uniquely designed submersible sonde utilises the familiar three electrode system which comprises a reference, counter, and working electrode. In addition, the sonde incorporates a stirrer, temperature probe and space for up to three working electrodes. This allows multi-parameter measurement within a single unit, without the use of a computer, or the need to change electrodes. The intelligent unit (capable of storing 1000 results) will select the electrode accordingly for the metal of interest.

FEATURES
Robust and waterproof design to IP67 standard User replaceable electrodes Internal datalogger with memory for 1000 results USB / Bluetooth connectivity Windows based analysis software LCD graphical display Joystick cursor control Multiple power options - rechargeable battery / Mains AC / Vehicle cigarette lighter socket Self-levelling Sample Analysis Beaker Software expandable for future parameters
