Field Based Testing of Heavy Metals Becomes a Reality

Wagtech International Ltd have launched a new portable heavy metals analyser - the Metalyser HM1000.

Heavy metals in water are odourless, tasteless and colourless. Traditional detection methods require a fixed site laboratory using highly advanced and expensive analytical instruments. The need for analysis in the field is increasingly becoming more and more important. This is where the Metalyser offers significant benefits. Developed and manufactured in the UK, the instrument has been designed with the end user in mind. The aim has been to make the whole analysis procedure as simple as possible, allowing the Metalyser to be used by all, irrespective of their training or expertise. The Metalyser will measure five heavy metals in water: Arsenic, Mercury, Cadmium, Lead and Copper. Based upon the accepted method of Anodic Stripping Voltammetry the instrument allows simultaneous measurement of multiple parameters down to low ppb levels.

With a range of unique features and innovative technical developments, trials have confirmed the ease of use and shown the Metalyser to be extremely accurate with good repeatability. Providing results in less than five

minutes, it makes accurate, on-site testing of heavy metals a reality.

If you are looking for a cost-effective, accurate and simple method of measuring heavy metals in water to low ppb levels and require a fast in-field response, then the Metalyser provides the ideal solution.
