Portable heavy metal monitoring for real time decision making onsite
The PDV6000plus is the most sensitive and flexible portable heavy
metal monitor for water and soil samples available today. The system
has a wide ranging capability with applications including Drinking
water, River water, Wastewater and Soil with detection limits as
low as 100 parts per trillion* (ppt).
Real-time screening analysis of water and soil samples is possible
by any on-site technician. Water samples are analysed directly
in the PDV6000plus cell with only the addition of a simple electrolyte.
Soil samples require a simple extraction procedure to solubilise
the metal into solution. Used in conjunction with traditional laboratory
methods, PDV6000plus users have an exceptionally powerful tool
for onsite testing. With results available in real time, decisions
can be made onsite saving valuable time and money. Laboratory data
can then be submitted for compliance if necessary. More importantly,
better site characterisation can be carried out identifying pollution
hotspots resulting in more efficient and more targeted action.
The PDV6000plus consists of a controller handset and analytical
cell in a hard, waterproof case. The handset has an integral LCD
display and rechargeable battery pack and can therefore operate
as stand-alone instrument or in conjunction into a laptop/PC computer
running its specially configured VAS (voltammetric analysis system)
software. VAS is used to provide multiple metal analysis, more
sophisticated analytical techniques such as standard addition analysis
(to resolve any potential interferences) and blank subtraction.
It gives the user a comprehensive display of generated data that
can be manually adjusted to provide even lower detection limits.
VAS also lists sample results that can be exported into any spreadsheet
or work processing package. It also archives data and allows easy
uploading of new analytical methods into the PDV6000plus.
The PDV6000plus has a low cost of ownership and no servicing expenditure.
One set of electrodes lasts for several thousands of measurements.
Fast and easy firmware upgrades means the PDV6000plus will always
be up to date and able to take advantage of newly developed analytical
methods as they become available.
