FLUORAT-02, which was a pioneering instrument developed by LUMEX and have gained a wide use in many analytical laboratories, makes a base for a large number (more than 50 certified methods) of analytical fluorometric, photometric, and chemoluminometric techniques for analysis of water, food, emission analysis. Such a versatility allows an analyst to choose the optimal method for assaying each component being determined. The Fluorat analyzers embody the modular principle. The base unit FLUORAT-02-3M is a filter fluorimeter, chemiluminometer and photometer implemented together in the same optoelectronic scheme, whereas the FLUORAT-02-2M version is, in addition, a time-resolving fluorimeter and can also be used as a fluorimetric detector in any HPLC system, relevant measuring cells being interchangeable. FLUORAT-02 is an automated analyzer furnished with a package of certified methods for monitoring the quality of drinking and waste water in compliance with sanitary regulations, as well as for assaying a number of air, soil, and food product constituents. The analytical methods implemented using this instrument are chosen so that to reliably detect half of the prescribed UTC and to provide the simplest sample preparation. For example, it takes 2 to 3, 5 to 7, and 2 to 3 minutes, respectively, to prepare a sample of petroleum hydrocarbons, phenols, and surfactants for analysis. | principle of operation | |  |
| | The fluorescence (phosphorescence, chemiluminescence) intensity measurement and measurement of transmittance of a sample. | features and benefits | | |
| - Low detection limit;
- High analytical selectivity compared to conventional photometric devices;
- Analysis of a large variety of components;
- Low consumption of reagents and short time of analysis;
- Nonvolatile memory for calibration and other analysis parameters;
- Operation as a fluorometer, chemiluminometer, photometer, nephelometer
FLUORAT-02-2M with attachments can be used as a HPLC detector and for measurement of cryoluminescence; - COD-reactor TERMION may be used for Chemical Oxygen Demand measurements.
FLUORAT-02-2M and FLUORAT-02-3M analyzer versions
FLUORAT-02-2M enables measuring the phosphorescence intensity, operating in the time-resolving fluorometer mode. This mode is used for the detection of uranium, featuring very high sensitivity and selectivity. The analyzer can also operate with a fiber optic bundle, which allows measuring luminescence or reflected light from the surface of an outside sample, such as paper, cathodoliminophors, etc. FLUORAT-02-2M can be combined with CRYO-1/2 attachment and can also be used as a fluorometric detector for HPLC systems. | areas of application | | |
| The table below lists the detected elements and compounds using FLUORAT®-02 analyzers in compliance with the certified methods. It should be noted that these methods are optimized for reliable identification of UTCs, the actual detection limits being lower than UTC.
