Meters
The V-2000 is the most sophisticated, cutting edge microprocessor-based LED photometer on the market today. Packed wth features, the V-2000 is able to automatically test pre-preprogrammed analytes using CHEMetrics self-filling, pre-measured ampoules and vials, for convenience or flexibility. An accurate, digital readout is obtained for each test, without the need to use a visual colour comparator to determine the test result. The V-2000 is a rugged, lightweight unit that is waterproof, and is designed for field use, but can also be used in a laboratory environment.
The V-2000 is designed to measure all of CHEMetrics photometric products, namely Vacu-vials and COD kits. It contains a dedicated program for each analyte and test range, and the program required is simply dialled up on the unit. The user places the filled ampoule or vial in the photometer. A built in timer automatically counts down the correct length of time for colour development for the test being performed. The V-2000 assists the user through the test via on screen prompts, and at the end of the test, a concentration reading is displayed to a configurable number of decimal places. The V-2000 has a memory of 100 readings, including time/date stamps, and the user can choose to either save individual readings of interest manually, or to set the unit to automatically save and log readings (data points). These data points can be transferred to a text file or spreadsheet on a computer or sent directly to a printer. The V-2000 can also be customised to suit the user's preferences, including display of units and decimal places.
The V-2000 is of course fully upgradeable. As new photometric test kits are released by CHEMetrics, a simple update procedure uploads the new test programs into your photometer, keeping your V-2000 up to date. The software updates are available for download free of charge from the Galgo web site.
The V-2000 can also be used to measure any type of cuvette or vial, designed for photometric analysis, provided that they are either 13mm or 16mm in diameter, to show either absorbance or percent transmittance readings. The V-2000 can even be programmed with up to 10 custom test calibrations, to display concentration readings for any additional desired tests. The unit is very simple to use, but includes a wide range of powerful features and is highly adaptable. The V-2000 is shown below being used in conjunction with CHEMetrics COD vials.
CHEMetrics also offers Single Analyte Meters, known as SAMs. These are dedicated photometers for measuring a single analyte and test range, using CHEMetrics self-filling ampoules or vials, such as COD (Vial) or Chlorine (Vacu-vial). The SAM has the calibration for a single specified test pre-programmed, and is started by pressing the power button. There are no other buttons on the unit, simplifying operation, and the user is prompted via messages on the screen. A Chlorine SAM is shown below. A SAM may be the simplest and most cost effective option for those who only test for one specific analyte and range, and who do not require PC connectivity and data logging.
Other CHEMetrics instruments include hand-held meters for determining a variety of qualities of water.
