FLUORATŪ-02-series Analyzers
|
|
FLUORATŪ-02, which was a pioneering instrument developed
by LUMEX and have gained a wide use in many analytical laboratories,
makes a baseline for a number of analytical fluorometric, photometric,
and chemoluminometric techniques. This versatility allows an analyst
to choose the optimal method for assaying each component being determined.
The Fluorat analyzers embody the modular principle. The base unit,
FLUORATŪ-02, is a filter fluorimeter, chemiluminometer and photometer
implemented together in the same optoelectronic scheme, whereas
the FLUORATŪ-02-2M version is, in addition, a time-resolving fluorimeter
and can also be used as a fluorimetric detector in any HPLC system,
relevant measuring cells being interchangeable.
FLUORATŪ-02 is an automated analyzer furnished with a package
of certified methods for monitoring the quality of drinking and
waste water in compliance with sanitary Regulations, as well as
for assaying a number of air, soil, and food product constituents.
The analytical methods implemented using this instrument are chosen
so that to reliably detect half of the prescribed UTC and to provide
the simplest sample preparation. For example, it takes 2 to 3, 5
to 7, and 2 to 3 minutes, respectively, to prepare a sample of petroleum
hydrocarbons, phenols, and surfactants for analysis.
- Low detection limit
- High analytical selectivity, as compared to conventional photometric
devices
- Analysis of a large variety of components
- Low consumption of reagents and short time of analysis
- Nonvolatile memory for calibration and other analysis parameters
- Operation as a fluorometer, chemiluminometer, photometer, nephelometer
- FLUORAT®-02-2M with attachments can be used as a HPLC detector
and for measurement of cryoluminescence
- COD-reactor TERMION is used for Chemical Oxygen Demand
measurements
Wide spectral range
FLUORATŪ-02 analyzer is equipped with a high-pressure xenon arc lamp,
which emits high-intensity light in a spectral range from 200 to 1000
nm.
Versatility
The instrument is basically a fluorimeter, however, it can be also
operated as a photometer, chemiluminometer, or phosphorimeter. The
cell compartment accommodates 10x10 mm cells for fluorometry, or 10x20
and 10x40 mm cells for photometry (the latter two in the FLUORATŪ-02-2M
model).
Use in the field
The analyzer is energized from AC mains or from a 12-V accumulator
battery, which allows its use in mobile laboratories.
Automated operation procedures
The names of the methods, result processing technique, and calibration
coefficients are displayed in the users menu. The menu content and
the loaded calibrations are stored in a nonvolatile memory. The self-diagnostics
procedure is automatically performed when the instrument is switched
on and during measurement. When carrying out an analysis, an operator
merely chooses the necessary method from the menu and, having installed
a cell, starts measuring. The concentration of a component being measured
is indicated on a built-in LC display or is transmitted via a serial
port to a standalone computer for further processing.
The table above lists the detection limits for some substances in
analysis of water using FLUORATŪ-02 analyzers in compliance with the
certified methods. It should be noted that these methods are optimized
for reliable identification of UTCs, the actual detection limits being
lower than those given in the table.

FLUORATŪ-02-3M and FLUORATŪ-02-2M analyzer versions
FLUORATŪ-02-2M enables measuring the phosphorescence intensity,
operating in the time-resolving fluorometer mode. This mode is used
for the detection of uranium, featuring very high sensitivity and
selectivity. The analyzer can also operate with a fiber optic bundle,
which allows measuring luminescence or reflected light from the surface
of an outside sample, such as paper, cathodoliminophors, etc. FLUORATŪ-02-2M
can be combined with CRYO-1/2 attachment and can also be used as a
fluorometric detector for HPLC systems.
FLUORATŪ-02-02/3M features:
- operation in custom menu mode to analyze standard list contaminants
- saving calibration tables and background value for 16 different
components in the built-in memory
- printout of analysis results
- storing results in the built-in memory
- energized from AC mains or from a 12-V accumulator battery
- self-diagnostics: the device automatically identifies failures
in all units
