Cecil Instruments has developed many analytical instruments which can be used in a variety of analytical chemistry contexts - including water analysis.
Within water analysis, one of the fastest and easiest techniques to use is UV/Visible spectrophotometry, Cecil Instruments suggests.
The company offers 37 varieties of standalone spectrophotometers with optional USB PC control.
The most popular used for water analysis is the AquaQuest range.
This range of spectrophotometers is pre-programmed for a wide variety of assays dedicated to water and effluent analysis.
The AquaQuest spectrophotometers are designed to provide fast, convenient, easy and reliable measurements.
They may be used with a range of accessories, are user programmable with large memories, can be operated in a user choice of six languages and are expandable with E-SEF software packages.
Meanwhile, with an ever-increasing focus on the detection of multi-ranges of contaminants and pollutants, to higher sensitivities of detection, analytical chemists are placed under increasing pressures.
Despite the wide capabilities of UV/Visible spectrophotometry, there are times when other techniques have to be used.
To that end, Cecil Instruments offers a comprehensive range of modular high pressure mixing HPLC in the Adept HPLC range.
An equally comprehensive range of modular low pressure mixing quaternary HPLC is offered in the Q-Adept HPLC range.
The Merit HPLC systems offer affordability and incredibly easy use, especially for production/monitoring station settings, Cecil Instruments says.
Furthermore, the WaveQuest UV/Visible ultra-fast scanning HPLC detector can be used for both qualitative and quantitative analysis, and offers the advantages of a diode array detector, without the disadvantages, the company claims.
Compared to most diode array detectors, the WaveQuest is claimed to be up to 100 times more sensitive than a diode array detector.
Therefore, detailed spectral scans and highly sensitive quantitative analyses may be performed simultaneously in the same elution.
The WaveQuest detector eliminates the need for two different types of UV/Visible HPLC detector - saving time, money and other resources.
Likewise, the IonQuest conductivity detector has very high sensitivities and exceptionally ultra-low drift.
Together with its Cecil reliability and robustness, it brings a new force into the field of Ion Chromatography.
This detector may be added to third party HPLC systems and forms the basis of the Cecil modular IonQuest ion chromatography systems.
Furthermore, Cecil Instruments’ comprehensive 21 CFR Part 11 compliance chromatography PowerStream software is designed to make life better for analytical chemists.
