Product Description
Overview:
Using the classic chemistry defined by the Marsh Test for Arsenic and other hydride forming metals, and the Hatch and Ott cold vapor reaction specifically for Mercury. The model 1018 batch mode attachment for flame atomic absorption system allows low PPB and high PPT sensitivities for these elements, respectively.
Features:
Cold vapor method employs a simple acid matrix for the sample
and uses Stannous Chloride for the reducing reaction to generate
PPT level data for Mercury
Simplified installation to existing flame AAS and predefined
reaction chemistry allows an easy start up for rapid operation.
Quartz absorption cells easily fit over burner head on Buck 210/211
AA systems using included bracket for both hydride and cold vapor
operation. Buck does not make brackets for other AA systems.
Uses argon or Nitrogen for carrier gas, no need for Hydrogen for
most applications.
Hydride generation technique commonly used for As, Sb, Se and
occasionally for Sn, Bi, Te and Ge; uses common acids & sodium
borohydride reducing agent for low PPB detection limits in
prepared samples.
Meets the requirements for EPA standard methods 245.1, SW-846
and the 200 series potable water tests.
Compact size allows unit to be placed conveniently next to
systems.
Readily available reaction flasks provide convenient sample prep
and analysis in one vessel for high throughput work. Versatile Reagent CompatibilityDesigned to work seamlessly with commonly used reagents such as sodium borohydride (NaBH4) and tin(II) chloride (SnCl2), the CVHG-2089 ensures adaptability for diverse analytical protocols. This flexibility aids laboratories in tackling various trace element determinations without altering core equipment configurations.

Automated and Flexible OperationSupporting both manual and programmable modes, the CVHG-2089 allows users to choose between hands-on control and automated batch processing. The equipments automatic sequencing and rinse cycles streamline workflow, boosting sample throughput and reducing reagent consumption while maintaining high accuracy.
FAQs of Cold Vapor & Hydride Generator:
Q: How does the integrated cleaning system work in the CVHG-2089?
A: The automated rinse cycle initiates after each sample run, flushing the internal tubing and reaction chamber to remove residual chemicals, ensuring consistent performance and minimizing carryover between samples.
Q: What safety features are included to safeguard against hazardous vapors and pressure build-up?
A: Built-in exhaust and overpressure protection systems actively ventilate and monitor the reaction chamber, safeguarding laboratory personnel by preventing vapor leaks and pressure-related incidents.
Q: When is the generator suitable for use with batch or continuous analysis?
A: The CVHG-2089 supports both batch and continuous analysis, allowing users to select their preferred mode based on throughput requirementsfrom single-sample runs to automated processing of up to 100 samples per hour.
Q: What is the recommended inert carrier gas for operation, and where can it be sourced?
A: The generator operates optimally with argon or nitrogen as carrier gases, commonly sourced from laboratory gas suppliers or in-house gas generation systems, ensuring effective transport of vapors to detectors.
Q: How does the device benefit laboratories conducting trace element analysis?
A: This generator streamlines sample processing with automated operation, low reagent consumption, and enhanced safety, delivering highly accurate results (<2% RSD) for low ppb to high ppm measurements using AAS, ICP-OES, or ICP-MS analyzers.
Q: What equipment materials contribute to the devices chemical resistance and durability?
A: Chemical-resistant PTFE, borosilicate glass, and stainless steel construction ensure durability even when exposed to corrosive reagents, extending the generators lifespan and reliability in demanding laboratory environments.
