Easychem Plus

The new generation of laboratory analysers is also available for seawater analysis.

EasyChem Plus is a discrete analyser Composed of:

Sample tray for up to 60 samples, including controls and calibrants;
up to 18 reagents in the temperature-controlled sample rack;
96 temperature-controlled reaction cuvettes;
Computer-controlled colorimetric detector with filter wheel for automatic wavelength selection;
10 mm, 20 mm or 50 mm standard flow cell (seawater analysis version);
automatic dilution of samples before analysis;
automatic dilution of out-of-scale samples;
Online Quality Control with a database that includes the Quality Control sheet.;
Throughput: 60 tests per hour;
CD coil reduction option for Nitrate.

Advantages and benefits

Ease of use: no specific expertise is required.;
Execution flexibility: differentiated work lists per sample;
low reagent consumption: only a few microlitres of reagents are used per test;
reduced operating costs: consumables minimised, low cost of reagents;
no plumbing issues; analyser control via batch, not reagents, and the sample is continuously pumped into a collector, with no air or gas bubbles, or noise;
Easy to understand and learn software: short training and no wasted time.

Measurement Data Management

Optical Density (OD) is processed by Fusion software on an external PC connected via RS-232 serial cable to the instrument. The final results are printed in a report containing all relevant information, including: sample ID, sample OD, QC values, and analysed parameters. Real-time results and O.D. values are visible during the analysis.
