• Low cost, flexible entry to water testing

• For both field and laboratory applications

• Introducing intelligent filters that:
  - automatically select correct wavelength for the test
  - automatically set instrument parameters for the test
  - are optically comparable to a visible spectrophotometer

• PC application software included

• Flexible sample holder accepts 16mm and 24mm diameter tubes as well as 10mm and 50mm cuvettes

• No lamps to fail and replace - lifetime light source

AquaGem offers the simplest system for the quantitative analysis of a range of water, wastewater and environmental samples. Directly compatible with the Aquanova Environmental Analyzer test kits, its flexible approach ensures both a low cost introduction to these tests, as well as offering a budget system for users of a specific range of tests. A detailed, graphic instruction sheet supplied with the test kits is dedicated to offering step-by-step instructions on using the kit with AquaGem.

At the heart of the simple operating system are the Intelligent Filter Modules. Each one is fitted with the optimum interference filter for the specific test and a 'single wire' memory device pre-programmed with all the instrument settings required for that test. Together with these items return a performance equivalent to a significantly more expensive visible spectrophotometer system

The Intelligent Filter Modules make operation as simple as it can be, for many tests just simply drop in the filter module, calibrate to a blank and then insert and measure prepared samples.

AquaGem's small format and options for operation on either a universal mains supply or batteries enables use in both laboratory and/or field locations. The flexible sample holder accepts 16mm and 24mm tubes, as well as 10mm and 50mm cuvettes, ensuring all tests can be carried out without changing sampling accessories.

All readings taken on AquaGem are stored, along with the date and time of the reading, in its internal non-volatile memory. This data can then be downloaded using the PC application software included, for storage or presentation in most software programs.
