Fluoride test

Hach’s new SPADNS 2 arsenic-free fluoride test offers a green chemistry option that is equivalent to the Environmental Protection Agency reference method and is compatible with current Hach instruments. The test eliminates arsenic from the original SPADNS formulation by using non-toxic, proprietary agents to achieve identical results in the presence of chlorine. The absence of arsenic means no carcinogenic arsenic exposure to workers or the environment, and no arsenic disposal fees or negative consequences for improper arsenic disposal.

TOG/TPH analyzer

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established limitation guidelines for discharges of “oily wastes” from facilities that produce, maintain or rebuild metal products and machinery. These limits on oil and grease concentration levels are forcing industrial facilities to monitor their effluent more closely prior to discharge which means more frequent measurements to ensure compliance.

Benchtop meters

The Orion Enhanced 3-, 4- and 5-Star Meters, available from Thermo Fisher Scientific, have a variety of new features. The most significant addition for all 3-Star and higher benchtop meters is Orion AutoTrationTM-500 XYZ autosampler operation. One application of this system is measuring pH, conductivity and temperature simultaneously in a stirred sample and capturing the data while users perform other tasks.
