ICP-MS System
Thermo Fisher Scientific has announced a highly sensitive ICP-MS solution for chromium measurement in drinking water, including the potentially carcinogenic hexavalent chromium (chromium VI). The company’s Xseries 2 ICP-MS is able to detect levels of chromium VI at less than 0.01 ppb, which is significantly lower than the current U.S. Environmental Protection Agency guidelines of 0.5 ppb. The system provides reproducible multi-element capabilities for the detection of chromium VI.

Non-mercury float
Conery offers a new non-mercury float switch for liquid level control. Known as the “B8,” this float can be used for control duty or pump duty operation in potable water, industrial, sewage, and wastewater applications. The float features solid construction consisting of a green Polypropylene shell and Polyurethane foam filling. This makes it leak-proof and impact resistant, while the mechanically activated micro-switch gives it the ability to be used in applications where a mercury switch is not an option.
