Many analytical instruments rely on reagents, which become a major component of the instruments’ lifetime operating costs.For manufacturers developing new instruments, an important goal therefore is to conserve reagents with devices that consume smaller amounts per sample and extend reagent shelf life. Endress+Hauser has developed a colorimetric orthophosphate measurement device designed with both those concerns in mind.The Liquiline System CA80PH orthophosphate analyzer combines a precise sample pumping mechanism with an onboard cooling system. The manufacturer says the device can triple the time between reagent change-outs. It also includes automatic calibration and cleaning, and advanced diagnostics.
