Accurate rapid tests for all types of water and wastewater samples according to ISO 15705.

Our colleagues were given a demonstration by Macherey-Nagel on how to perform water analyses. The operation and application of the Nanocolor Advance and the Nanocolor Vario Mini were explained.

The Nanocolor Advance combines the most important features of the portable compact photometers and the high-precision spectrophotometers. With its wavelength spectrum of 340-800 nm, all photometrically evaluable test kits from Macherey-Nagel can be measured. The Nanocolor Advance can therefore be used universally in the entire spectrum of water and wastewater analyses.

During the demonstration, various water samples from the area were used, such as the Grevelingenmeer, the Galderse lakes and the Volkerak. But also waste water from surrounding companies, as well as boiler water and water bottles from various supermarkets. For the analysis of all these different types of water, the analysis kits for nitrate, COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) and phosphates were used. All water samples are analyzed and compared with each other. Of course, the data will also be compared with the national guidelines that apply to the water samples in question. 

The Nanocolor Advance delivers accurate and reliable measurement results and can also be used on the go thanks to the rechargeable batteries.
