Metalyser Portable HM1000

Contamination of our water resources by toxic heavy metals is becoming an increasing problem the world over. Widespread industrial and urban pollution is responsible for introducing these heavy metals into the environment. This problem is particularly acute in the developing world where unchecked industrial growth, lack of monitoring facilities and failure to enforce environmental regulations only serve to add to the severity of the situation.

The Metalyser HM1000 has been designed specifically to allow easier, cost-effective monitoring of heavy metals most commonly associated with health and environmental problems.

Developed and manufactured solely in the UK, the Metalyser offers a breakthrough in terms of a simple-to-use field instrument that offers high levels of accuracy at an attractive price.

Analysis of heavy metals in water has traditionally been difficult in the field. By combining the proven method of Anodic Stripping Voltammetry (ASV) along with an innovative sonde design and a simple buffer delivery system, Trace2o has developed an instrument that can finally deliver reproducible results on site.

The design of the Metalyser allows for the addition of future parameters, without the need to upgrade the instrument. 10 of the more common parameters are currently available for analysis using the HM1000.

Benefits of the Metalyser Portable HM1000

• Field based detection of heavy metals in water to low ppb concentrations providing data at site
• Rapid results allowing immediate action on remediation
• No complicated sample preparation or analysis procedures in the field allowing non-technical personnel the ability to obtain lab-comparable results
• Step-by-step pictorial guides allowing non-experienced personnel the ability to use instrument quickly and easily without reading in-depth manuals
• Low cost per test
• No PC required for sample analysis
• Rugged and durable instrumentation built for tough environments allowing operation even in adverse weather conditions
• Ability to measure 10 parameters - As (III), As (total), Cd, Cr*, Cu, Hg, Mn, Ni*, Pb and Zn (* - under development
