The CHEMetrics mission is Perfecting Simplicity
in Water Analysis

• Extensive line of water testing kits
• Highly accurate
• Extremely simple to use
• Cost-effective
• Portable

CHEMetrics Core TechnologyThe self-filling
ampoule

• Each ampoule contains a precise unit dose of
  reagent.
• Ampoule is sealed under vacuum.
• Ampoule has a scored tip for easy snapping.
• To run a test, simply place the ampoule into the
  sample and snap the tip---the vacuum pulls the
  correct quantitative sample volume into the
  ampoule, and an inert bubble forms.
• Tilt the ampoule several times to mix the sample
  and reagent, allowing the reaction to complete
  and color to form.
• Use the color comparator or photometric
  instrument to obtain quantitative results.

CHEMets for simple visual colorimetric water
analysis

• Accurate results in two minutes or less
• As easy and economical as a test strip, with the
  accuracy of a sophisticated instrument
• Designed for maximum simplicity and accuracy
• CHEMets are available for over 40 analytes,
  including chlorine, copper, hydrogen peroxide,
  nitrate, phenols, phosphate, silica, sulfide,
  many more.
• Concentrations from low ppb to percent percent
  levels

5
Simple CHEMets Test Procedure

• Immerse the CHEMet into the sample and snap off
  the tipthe vacuum in the ampoule quickly pulls
  in the correct volume of sample.
• Mix sample and reagentin 2 minutes or less, the
  analyte in the sample reacts with the reagent to
  form a color.
• Match the color intensity to the standards in
  the comparator to obtain quick, accurate
  quantitative test results.

Vacu-Vials for Photometric AnalysisUse with
CHEMetrics VVR and SAM photometers, or with any
spectrophotometer that accepts 13mm cells

• The fastest, easiest reagent systems for
  precision photometric water analysis.
• Direct concentration results are presented with
  the VVR or SAMor by your spectrophotometers
  calibration program.
• Vacu-vials are available for over 40 important
  analytes.

7
VVR Photometer forAccurate Water AnalysisFilter
photometer and filter modules for over 40
important analytes

• Compact, hand-held portable, direct-reading,
  multi-analyte instrument
• Works with Vacu-vials to provide dependable
  results in just 4 seconds.
• No buttons to push, calibrations to perform, or
  complicated scrolling.
• VVR optical filter modules are available for
  ammonia, chlorine, copper, iron, nitrate,
  dissolved oxygen, phosphate, sulfide, zinc, many
  more analytes.

8
Single Analyte Monitors (SAMs)Dedicated
photometers use Vacu-vials simple-to-use,
accurate, economical

• Economical SAMs provide accurate results
  equivalent to more expensive dedicated meters and
  probes.
• Just snap a Vacu-vials ampoule in your sample,
  place the ampoule in the SAM, and read the result
  in seconds.
• SAM kits and instruments are available for
  chlorine, dissolved oxygen, ammonia, ozone, ozone
  2 (indigo) chlorine dioxide, glycol, molybdate,
  nitrate, peracetic acid, phosphate.

9
Titrets Hand-held Titration KitsSimplified
visual titrimetric analysis

• Reverse titration quickly determines analyte
  concentrations.
• Extremely simple---draw small volumes of sample
  using the ball-valve assembly on the ampoule tip
  until the color changes, indicating the
  equivalence point of the titration.
• Quantitative results are obtained by reading the
  scale off of the graduated ampoule.
• Total alkalinity, carbon dioxide, chloride, total
  hardness, sulfite, more.

10
VACUettes Auto-dilution AmpoulesFor
colorimetric analysis of highly concentrated
samples

• Special auto-dilution feature eliminates the need
  for time-consuming, error-prone preliminary
  dilution.
• Entire test takes only 2 to 3 minutes, with
  accuracy comparable to a time-consuming, tedious
  volumetric procedure.
• Same design as CHEMets ampoules---but uses
  capillary pipet on tip, calibrated to draw the
  correct volume of sample for one of four dilution
  factors 25X, 50X, 100X, 1000X.

Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) Reagent
VialsReplace Hach vialsvery competitively priced

• COD is the most frequently performed test in
  municipal and industrial wastewater plants.
• Customers can directly replace CHEMetrics COD
  vials for Hach vials, without changing equipment
  or procedures.
• USEPA approved, equivalent to Hach vials in
  chemistry, fully compatible with Hach
  instrumentation.
• Use built-in Hach methods without need for new
  calibration.

12
NEW COD Photometers

• 2 Photometers Available
• A low-range photometer for the 0-150 ppm range
• A high-range photometer for ranges 0-1500 and
  0-15,000 ppm
• Easy to useButtonless operation
• Capable of multiple readings without reinserting
  sample blank
