Portable VA Analyser

Portable VA Analyser

Portable voltammetric analysers for the determination of trace levels of heavy metals in water in the field.

With the 946 Portable VA Analyser, water can be analysed for trace levels of heavy metals (e.g., arsenic, mercury, zinc, lead, copper, nickel, cobalt, or iron) on site instead of in the lab, giving you results within minutes.

  • Portable battery-powered analyser for on-site analyses
  • Pre-defined methods available for straightforward operation
  • Semidisposable and disposable sensors for simple handling
  • Results within a few minutes
  • Suitable for analyses in accordance with WHO guideline values
  • Complete package with all accessories to get started immediately
