Astoria-Pacific International - SFA3000 System

MULTI-TEST CARTRIDGE
The multi-test cartridge is designed to save money and time. The multi-test cartridge takes advantage of the common pathways used for many of the standard EPA tests. Using a single cartridge layout, the same cartridge can be used for more than one test, saving the time and hassle of having to switch cartridges. By just pumping different reagents and changing the wavelength setting on the monochromator, multiple tests can easily be run.

SAMPLER FLEXIBILITY
The SFA3000 can be interfaced with either the dual matrix 301D Sampler or the XYZ 311 Sampler. The 90 capacity 301D Sampler with dual probe allows two chemistries that require different matrixes to run simultaneously. For example, digested samples for TKN can be run at the same time with undigested samples for ammonia. The larger capacity 311 Sampler will hold up to 270 test tubes and/or plastic vials and allows for recalibration and automatic insertion of check calibrant.

DEDICATED ANALYZER
The compact SFA3000 dedicated analyzer is uniquely suited for the laboratory running one or two analytes on a large number of samples. It is simple to operate and cost less than the large multi-channel systems. Configured as a single channel system, the SFA3000 can process samples at 90-120 samples per hour using the latest micro segmented flow technology.

LESS THAN 1 PPB DETECTION
Analytes such as Nitrate, Nitrite, Ammonia and Orthophosphate can be detected and measured to less than 1 ppb. The detector’s specially designed flowcell, true dual beam optics and solid state electronics significantly reduce the signal noise to allow amplification for greater sensitivity.

EXPANDIBILITY
As the analytical needs in the laboratory change, the SFA3000 can be configured easily to fill those needs. Additional cartridges, a second detector or a flame photometer can be added easily and without change in software.
