Kimble Chase has introduced its MIDI-VAP 4000, a system designed for rapid and repeatable isolation by distillation of ammonia, phenols and cyanide from water samples.
This distillation system is designed to accommodate US EPA standard test methods for analysis of environmental and wastewater samples.
It employs a market exclusive, Watlow digital controller with temperature pre-sets at 126C for cyanide distillations and 165C for ammonia and phenols.
Temperature programming is simplified with the easy-to-read LED display, which includes an amber light to indicate heating in progress.
Easy-to-adjust needle valves provide accurate control.
The MIDI-VAP 4000 has a rapid heating 10-position manifold heater block that is sealed with PTFE gaskets to prevent spills from entering the interior.
Depending on the desired analyte, analysts select glassware sets for cyanide, or ammonia and phenol distillations.
The compact MIDI-VAP 4000 unit can be easily used under a fume hood, as it requires minimal space and weighs less than 40lbs.
Distillations are performed with only 50mL of sample, reducing the volumes of both reagents and waste.
The MIDI-VAP 4000 is CSA certified, CE-marked and UL approved.
The Kimble Chase MIDI-VAP 4000 is available worldwide from facilities located in the US, Europe and Asia, which are operated in compliance with ISO quality standards.
Sales teams are located in North America, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia.
