Trace Metal Analyzer

In today’s regulatory environment Trace Element Analysis has become the most important activity in the monitoring of environmental pollution.

In the determination of heavy metals and other harmful substances at ppb or ppm levels the GAT 4000 Polarograph/Voltammeter Systems play an important part in the analysis of a wide range of samples.

The new Automatic Trace Element Analyzer GAT TEA®4000 AS results from a joint cooperation between GAT, and the Heyrowsky-Institute.  Professor J. Heyrowsky was awarded the Nobel Prize for his for his work in the field of electrochemistry. The GAT 4000 Systems incorporate all the latest developments resulting from the Nobel Prize winning chemistry research.

Based on unmatched detection limits, polarography/voltammetry is becoming an increasingly adopted principle in modern trace analysis, providing in comparison to AAS and ICP-OES not only better detection limits but also lower operating costs

ADVANTAGES IN COMPARISON TO AAS AND ICP.

  • Extremely low price and ease of use
  • Does not require expensive inert gases.
  • Very easy sample preparation and short analysis time. 
  • Simultaneous detection of several elements
  • Portable Systems for field analysis.
  • Very low detection limits

Laboratory Based System GAT TEA 4000 AS

The windows-software with enhanced measurement and calculation tools also accommodates an auto sampler and allows unattended measurement of series of up to 60 samples.

Measurement Cell

The polarographic stand and the auto sampler are completely controlled by the

Alternatively it can be fitted with solid state electrodes as Glassy-carbon, Gold and others.

Polarography/Voltammetry is one of the most important analytical techniques in the fields of environmental protection, Mineralogy, Metallurgy, Geology and in the chemical industry.

The GAT 4000 Systems provide many techniques for the application of Polarographic/Voltammetric analysis including the following:

  • Differential-Pulse-Polarography
  • Differential-Pulse-Stripping- Polarography
  • DC Polarography
  • Square-Wave Voltammetry
  • Cyclic Voltammetry
  • Stripping Voltammetry

Field Portable System GAT TEA 4000 MP

For use in the lab and in the field, requiring only the power supplied by the notebook computer to run the system.

The characteristics and quality of results are the same as a lab based system while offering the great advantage of in situ analysis with real time data immediately following the collection and acquisition of the sample

The Menu-driven user friendly control/ calculating software assures quantitative analysis with standard addition or calibration curves and applications  manual with more than 180 applications
