rAPID-T Discrete Analyzer
The rAPID-T software/hardware platform offers a compact, affordable automated Chemistry Analyzer.
- Durable. Accurate. Precise. Economical
- Open software platform. Program it to run:
- Tests for NO2, NO3, Ammonia, Ortho-Phosphate, TKN, TPhos, Cyanide, Phenol, Sulphate, Hexavalent Chromium, etc.
- Wine tests (Acetic Acid, Malic Acid, etc.) from many manufacturers
- Beer Kits (Acetaldehyde, Sulfite, etc.) Download brochure.
- Colorimetric tests currently being run manually
- Up to 100+ tests per hour with 10mm path length cuvettes
- Built-in temperature controlled reactions
- Wavelengths: 340, 405, 420, 480, 505, 540, 570, 660 or … custom
- Small footprint and weight: 21” W x 15.5” H x 20” D and 37 pounds!
- Compatible with Windows Vista or 7/8/10 (computer not supplied)
The software optimizes the rAPID-T's advanced hardware and performance. Operators can program their colorimetric applications into rAPID-T’s easy-to-use method setup and configurations. Because of rAPID-T’s open platform, operators can also adapt their system to use assay kits for Water, Wine, Food and other analyses from several manufacturers (e.g. Megazyme, Bio-Rad, Thermo Scientific, NZYTech, Nitrate Elimination Company, etc.)
