Application

Simple and inexpensive sample enrichment

For sample preparation for AOX analysis(AOX-400), different modules with standard-compliant operation are available depending on the method and number of samples, which can also be used for automatic sample preparation for AOF, AOCl, AOBr and AOI for subsequent determination using c-IC (AQF-5000).

The AOX activated carbon columns can be used for the column method with the AOX enrichment30 modules and the 5-channel AD module for water and wastewater.

Function Column method

The sample is aspirated and transferred to the carbon and then washed with nitrate solution.

Who needs sample preparation modules?

Companies that want to carry out AOX or AOF measurements. The substances to be analyzed are usually contained in the sample in very low concentrations and cannot then be measured. Sample preparation is used to carry out a so-called concentration.

Is there a safety risk when handling samples?

Yes, there is a risk when working with wastewater, sewage sludge and soil samples, as it is never known exactly what substances and materials they contain.
However, the finished samples on the carbon columns are virtually harmless to the user. Nothing outgasses from the samples as the hazardous substances are bound in the water. Nevertheless, always wear personal protective equipment.

FAQ

For which companies are the activated carbon columns suitable?

For companies that want to carry out AOX or AOF measurements and need to prepare their samples accordingly. The substances to be analyzed are usually contained in the sample in very low concentrations and cannot then be measured. Sample preparation is used for so-called concentration.

For which sum parameters can I use the enrichment modules?

For AOX, AOF, AOCl, AOI, AOBr, AOl.

Which device can I use to prepare the sample?

You can prepare water and wastewater samples using either the automated AOX enrichment30 module or the semi-automated 5-channel AD module.

Which standard does the sample preparation comply with?

AOX = EN ISO 9562 & LAWA P5 leaflet

EOX = DIN 38409, DIN 38414

What are the advantages of a1 activated carbon columns?

The activated carbon columns packed in strips of 10 offer numerous advantages. They are characterized by certified low blank values and permanent quality controls, which ensures high accuracy and reliability. The columns are easy to handle, cost-effective and safe. They are suitable for AOX analysis as well as for AOF determination and the splitting of AOX into AOCl, AOBr and AOI. Thanks to the gas-tight packaging, they are well protected and storable. Each pack contains 100 columns, divided into 10 small packs of 10 columns each. They are safe to handle and can be easily disposed of as waste glass. In addition, the narrow particle size distribution of the activated carbon ensures consistent quality. Each pack is provided with a lot number and date and the production lot is individually checked for blank values.
