Man-Tech Associates has released the PC-BOD/Titrate Duo, which enables laboratories to prepare and analyse samples for BOD5 and analyse samples for pH, conductivity, alkalinity and turbidity.
The PC-BOD/Titrate Duo follows the 21st edition of Standard Methods and US EPA- and ISO-approved methods.
With Automax73 or Automax122, the PC-BOD/Titrate Duo is described as a durable, reliable system, which takes up less bench space than two separate systems.
It is claimed to deliver rapidly generated results that are accurate and precise.
The PC-BOD/Titrate Duo lowers the cost of training as a result of the Duo platform.
It is said to be simple to switch between configurations and the system has a common, dynamic rinse station for both platforms and autorun buttons that are intended to simplify operation.
The system also offers automated import and export from/to LIMS and allows the operator to add more samples to the batch while running.
The PC-BOD offers the automated addition of dilution water, seed and inhibitor, as well as automated rinsing and a standard YSI probe.
It allows quick and easy sample set creation, pre-defined sample sets including blanks, seeds and GGAs, the capability to analyse BOD and CBOD samples in the same batch and the automation of five- and seven-day BOD analysis methods.
The Titrasip multi-parameter system allows automated pipetting, auto-dilution capabilities for high-concentration samples and the analysis of pH, conductivity and alkalinity, all from a single sample.
It offers pH/conductivity/alkalinity in three minutes or less per sample and a 48,000-step buret drive to ensure accurate, precise titration results.
The Intellirinse system ensures that the system and probes are clean before moving on to the next sample.
Man-Tech products are available in the US through Mansci and throughout the world by its network of distributors.
