Thermo Scientific introduces the Orion AQ4000 Advanced Field Colorimeter, packed with features which make water analysis as simple as 1, 2, 3.

•Place the sample in the Auto-TestTM cuvette,

•Position the cuvette in the AQ4000. The AQ4000 automatically identifies your species of interest,

•Read the result from the display.

The Orion AQ4000 features Auto-ID, which when used with Orion Auto-Test cuvettes, automatically identifies the species to be measured, selects the method, wavelength and reaction timer. The user never needs to push a button! The Auto-ID ensures the reagent is matched to the method.

The Auto-test cuvettes are specially designed to work with the Orion AQUAfast AQ4000 colorimeter. They take all the guesswork out of sample preparation because the reagent is pre-measured. The Auto-Test cuvettes are opened only when a measurement is about to be taken; reagent quality is never an issue.

The Orion AQUAfast IV AQ4000 can store up to 189 pre-programmed methods. As new tests are available, a simple upload procedure updates the colorimeter with the most current programs. The upload takes but a few minutes and keeps the AQ4000 always current.

This rugged and attractive unit is waterproof to IP67 standards. It is so advanced that a user can create a custom method and customize calibration. Up to 5 data points can be used to define a custom method. Ten custom methods can be stored in the colorimeter's memory. The simple interface steps a user through setup and measurement.

Selection of display units is push-button easy: concentration, absorbance or percent transmittance. Datalog 100 points in the field with a time and date tage and then download to a printer or computer in the lab. In addition to the Auto-Test cuvettes, the AQ4000 accepts round cuvettes with diameters of 13, 16 and 24 mm. Best of all, the Orion AQ4000 carries a two-year warranty!
