AOX-400

Fully automatic AOX and EOX analysis

The AOX-400 is the latest system in the AOX/EOX/POX family of instruments. For decades, a1-envirosciences has been the contact for AOX analysers.

Easy carefree determination of AOX and EOX

The AOX-400 offers maximum flexibility due to the integrated sampler for AOX and EOX, as well as the combination of different AOX measurement modes in one sequence. Measure preferential samples not only in EOX determination but also in AOX column mode.

Experience increased efficiency through reduced measurement times, longer measurement sequences and lower maintenance.

The AOX-400 measures cost-effectively and stably through container-, airlock- and boat-less direct injection of the AOX columns into the combustion chamber, as well as low-wear ceramic filters for shaking AOX samples. Thanks to an internal gas supply as well as efficient gas routing without a hose-gas dryer, the operating costs are once again significantly reduced.

Measure EOX carefree and fast: Complete recovery of heavy substances (e.g. PCB-209) in the shortest measuring time.

The AOX-400 offers increased safety through acetic acid post-combustion and the simple and safe change of cell electrolyte and sulphuric acid.

Sustainability is very important to us! There is cross-compatibility with other instrument series and sample preparation modules. No technical gases are required in AOX operation!

The AOX-400 has a minimised space requirement. Less than half a metre of laboratory bench space is required.

The simple and intuitive software with navigation mode enables reliable and safe operation even at low application frequencies. The software features optimised QC by means of automatic checking and documentation of all analytical parameters.
