Phosphate test kit
CHEMetrics' new Total Phosphate Test Kit, with screw cap vials, uses the ascorbic acid method and measures those forms of phosphate that are converted to orthophosphate during an acid oxidation digestion. Users can perform digestion and measurement in the same vial. They can use CHEMetrics' V-2000 photometer for direct readout in ppm or any spectrophotometer capable of accepting a 16 mm diameter cell.

Water, gas monitoring
The INFICON CMS5000 Monitoring System provides continuous, unattended remote monitoring of water or air. Using GC (gas chromatograph) technology, it analyzes and quantifies Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TICs) on-site for accurate results in minutes. The analytical data is representative of actual water conditions at the time of sampling, providing the answers needed to make fast decisions about potentially critical issues.

Laboratory testing
WesTech offers complete laboratory testing facilities to assist in project planning. The company's laboratory technicians are specialists in filtration, sedimentation, and flotation. Careful testing and analysis of a sample can provide the answers to most difficult process problems, helping to establish design parameters and size equipment based upon bench scale testing results. Comprehensive reports are sent to the customer and the information is then used to discuss the most effective water or wastewater treatment options. Bench scale units are also available for rental or purchase for use at a testing facility.

Water quality monitoring
Water utilities can monitor and track the health of their source water before it reaches the treatment plant with YSI's EXO water-quality monitoring sondes and real-time alerts. Users can configure sondes quickly to move between laboratory and field sites, switching sensors as needed for the different parameters of interest at different sites. Sensors have fast response times for profiling and sampling, and a depth rating of 250 meters for long-term continuous monitoring in drinking water reservoirs and near intake structures.

Fluorimeter
The new HF scientific HF-38 Fluorimeter is an extremely sensitive, hand-held, ruggedized instrument designed for field testing of toxic heavy metal contaminates in water supplies. It requires no special skill or knowledge of chemistry to operate. Through the use of DNA sensors, a reaction that fluoresces in the presence of a target contaminate substance, such as lead, is measured to determine the concentration of the target heavy metal and is reported in parts per billion (ppb).

Sludge sampling
The AMS Multi-Stage Sampler (MSS) is an ideal choice for collecting samples up to four feet in thickness. The sampler has four stainless steel 12" sampler body sections (a base section and three sampler body extension sections) to allow field personnel to make a sampler to the length that is needed. The kit comes with three four-foot stainless steel extensions that allow users to deploy the sampler through 12 feet of water before reaching the sediment. Dredges may also be used to collect samples from the upper/top 4 inches of the sludge.

Sensors, analyzers
Liquid Analytical Resource had introduced the Chemitec line of sensors and analyzers. The company's measurement parameters already included TOC, COD, BOD, total nitrogen, ammonia, toxicity, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, pH, ORP, turbidity, suspended solids and respiration. The new line expands client's choices for pH/ORP, conductivity, turbidity and suspended solids. In addition, the new line allows for monitoring of peracetic acid as well as disinfectants such as chlorine, ozone and chlorine dioxide.
