Easychem Eco

Easychem ECO is a laboratory routine analyser for measuring pH, conductivity and turbidity in liquid samples.

This fully automated instrument is based on discreet technology and is equipped with a 104-position sampler including standards and controls; the main features are as follows:

sample temperature measurement for pH and conductivity;
Combined glass pH electrode, mounted in a low-volume flow cell for stable and reliable pH measurements;
low-flow cell for rapid conductivity measurements;
Low flow cell for nephelometric turbidity measurements

Productivity: 60 tests/hour (20 samples, 3 parameters each).

The Easychem ECO analyser is controlled by our SW Fusion, installed on a PC running the Windows® operating system, where the operator creates the work list containing the samples, their origin, the associated code and the required determinations for each sample to be analysed. There, they can control the automatic analysis in real-time and finally verify and print the results.

Easychem ECO is a laboratory routine analyser.

Advantages and benefits

Ease of use: no specific experience required, only brief training is needed.
Low operating costs: consumption limited to sample tubes.
Quick start: simply define the job list and run the analysis on all the predefined methods in the software.
One-button shutdown: software-controlled shutdown.
Software for Windows: easy to use and to learn through a short training course, specifically designed for chemists.
QC checks: up to 10 levels of real-time QC checks can be defined; the results are automatically stored and plotted in a specific section.
QC actions: if QC results fall outside the tolerance limits, the analysis may be halted, or the operator will simply find a record of the malfunction in the QC alarm messages.
