This application note provides a detailed workflow for testing drinking water quality by integrating complementary instruments. In this application, a titrator, a UV Vis spectrophotometer, and a turbidimeter are integrated in a single workflow for easy, fast, and accurate measurements.
Integrating Instruments for Multiparameter Analysis in One Go
Several frequently tested parameters of a sample can be combined in one step for automation of a workflow, easy and time-conserving measurements. Full automation involves two steps:
- Usage of the automatic sample changer
- Integrating several analytical techniques in a single workflow
Automation will benefit the user in determining various physico-chemical parameters for a series of samples in a single step without any attendant.
Multiparameter Analysis of Drinking Water
For drinking water, parameters such as pH, conductivity, color, turbidity, and alkalinity are usually tested for quality assessment. The myriad of samples to be analyzed demands the need for fast, accurate, and automated measurements.
This application note gives a workflow for complete automation by integrating complementary instruments such as a titrator, a UV Vis spectrophotometer, and a turbidimeter for the determination of conductivity, pH, color, and turbidity in a single workflow. An autosampler is connected for unattended measurement. The LabX™ software manages the method and results.
