CHEMetrics Core Technology:The self-filling ampoule

• Each ampoule contains a precise unit dose of reagent.

• Ampoule is sealed under vacuum.• Ampoule has a scored tip for easy snapping.• To run a test, simply place the ampoule into

the sample and snap the tip---the vacuum pulls the correct quantitative sample volume into the ampoule, and an inert bubble forms.

• Tilt the ampoule several times to mix the sample and reagent, allowing the reaction to complete and color to form.

• Use the color comparator or photometric instrument to obtain quantitative results.

CHEMets® for simple visual colorimetric water analysis

• Accurate results in two minutes or less

• As easy and economical as a test strip, with the accuracy of a sophisticated instrument

• Designed for maximum simplicity and accuracy

• CHEMets are available for over 40 analytes, including chlorine, copper, hydrogen peroxide, nitrate, phenols, phosphate, silica, sulfide, many more.

• Concentrations from low ppb to percent percent levels

Simple CHEMets Test Procedure1) Immerse the CHEMet into the sample and snap off the tip—the

vacuum in the ampoule quickly pulls in the correct volume of sample.

2) Mix sample and reagent—in 2 minutes or less, the analyte in the sample reacts with the reagent to form a color.

3) Match the color intensity to the standards in the comparator to obtain quick, accurate quantitative test results.

Vacu-Vials® for Photometric AnalysisUse with CHEMetrics VVR and SAM

photometers, or with any spectrophotometer that accepts 13mm cells

• The fastest, easiest reagent systems for precision photometric water analysis.

• Direct concentration results are presented with the VVR or SAM—or by your spectrophotometer’s calibration program.

• Vacu-vials are available for over 40 important analytes.

VVR Photometer forAccurate Water Analysis

Filter photometer and filter modules for over 40 important

analytes • Compact, hand-held portable, direct-reading, multi-analyte

instrument• Works with Vacu-vials to provide dependable results in just 4

seconds.• No buttons to push, calibrations to perform, or complicated

scrolling.• VVR optical filter modules are available for ammonia, chlorine,

copper, iron, nitrate, dissolved oxygen, phosphate, sulfide, zinc, many more analytes.

Single Analyte Monitors (SAMs)Dedicated photometers use Vacu-vials—

simple-to-use, accurate, economical

• Economical SAMs provide accurate results equivalent to more expensive dedicated meters and probes.

• Just snap a Vacu-vials ampoule in your sample, place the ampoule in the SAM, and read the result in seconds.

• SAM kits and instruments are available for chlorine, dissolved oxygen, ammonia, ozone, ozone 2 (indigo) chlorine dioxide, glycol, molybdate, nitrate, peracetic acid, phosphate.

Titrets® Hand-held Titration KitsSimplified visual titrimetric analysis

• “Reverse titration” quickly determines analyte concentrations.

• Extremely simple---draw small volumes of sample using the ball-valve assembly on the ampoule tip until the color changes, indicating the equivalence point of the titration.

• Quantitative results are obtained by reading the scale off of the graduated ampoule.

• Total alkalinity, carbon dioxide, chloride, total hardness, sulfite, more.

VACUettes® Auto-dilution AmpoulesFor colorimetric analysis of highly concentrated

samples• Special auto-dilution feature eliminates the need for

time-consuming, error-prone preliminary dilution.• Entire test takes only 2 to 3 minutes, with accuracy

comparable to a time-consuming, tedious volumetric procedure.

• Same design as CHEMets ampoules---but uses capillary pipet on tip, calibrated to draw the correct volume of sample for one of four dilution factors: 25X, 50X, 100X, 1000X.

Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) Reagent Vials

Replace Hach vials—very competitively priced

• COD is the most frequently performed test in municipal and industrial wastewater plants.

• Customers can directly replace CHEMetrics COD vials for Hach vials, without changing equipment or procedures.

• USEPA approved, equivalent to Hach vials in chemistry, fully compatible with Hach instrumentation.

• Use built-in Hach methods without need for new calibration.

NEW COD Photometers

• 2 Photometers Available:– A low-range photometer

for the 0-150 ppm range– A high-range

photometer for ranges 0-1500 and 0-15,000 ppm

• Easy to use—Buttonless operation

• Capable of multiple readings without reinserting sample blank
