Product Information

Last update:
September 4, 2008

Lachat’s QuikChem^® 8500 Series 2 Flow Injection Analysis System features high sample throughput and simple but rapid method changeover. The QuikChem 8500 maximizes productivity in determining ionic species in a variety of sample types, from sub-ppb to percent concentrations. With over 500 methods for environmental, agronomic and industrial applications, including USEPA accepted and equivalent methods, the QuikChem 8500 will satisfy all your analytical requirements.

New FIA Features The QuikChem 8500 Series 2 is the latest update to the Lachat QuikChem Flow Injection Analysis platform:
	Run up to 5 channels for high productivity analysis or dedicated operation.
	New 2-cm flow cell methods allow more signal for detection at lower levels.
	Run Omnion 3.0 software on Windows Vista operating system.
	Interface Omnion software in multiple languages - including Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, and Italian.

OVER 500 METHOD VARIATIONS AVAILABLE The QuikChem 8500 Series 2 system uses reliable, accurate Flow Injection Analysis (FIA) technology. FIA technology was developed when scientists processing large numbers of samples experienced productivity delays while using Segmented Flow Analysis (SFA). Innovations of Flow Injection Analysis include:
	Methods complying with USEPA, ISO, and DIN standards
	Customized method development available
	Simple to run in-line preparation methods
	Many new methods - including Lachat's new Ultra-High Throughput methods.
