AQF-5000
Combustion IC sample mineralisation
The AQF-5000 is a completely unique instrument for qualitative and quantitative measurement of all halogens and sulfur in practically any kind of samples.
Method compatibility: ASTM: D5987, D7359, D8150, UOP 991, ISO 19242, EN 17813. Suitable for PFAS screening methode
This instrument can replace all the mineralisation systems (Oxygen bomb, microwave high pressure mineralisation) and , in conjunction with a Ion Chromatography system allow total automation in the analysis of complex samples, industrial residue, solvent mixes, soil samples, resin, wood etc... Save time , increase performance, increase throughput, cut your analysis cost with this unique instrument.
New features:
Full automation from calibration to shut down.
New absorbtion tube for easy maintenance
A single combustion method for unknown sample.
Open/close furnace for check and maintenance.
Ability of upgrade up to 4 detectors in one furnace
Integrated hydropyrolysis function.
Other analyzers can be utilized (ICP-MS/AES, AA).

Suitable for PFAS screening method
Conductivity Detector CDD-10AVP
A temperature-regulating device in the detection cell and the placement of the detection cell in the column oven ensure precise temperature control. This enables analysis with low noise conditions and a stable baseline even using electrical conductivity detection which is sensitive to temperature fluctuations.
Degassing Unit DGU-403
Because the unit adopts an online degassing system with high performance and low internal volume, it iseasy to replace the eluent and more stable analysis is achieved.
Solvent Delivery Pump LC-40i
An inert-type pump that optimizes solvent delivery control. Detection of low-level noise is possible even using electrical conductivity detection which is sensitive to pressure changes.
Anion Suppressor Unit ICDS™-40A
This is an electrodialytic suppressor unit which is built into the top part of the column oven. It achieves high performance even with low internal volume.
Column Oven CTO-40S
The forced air circulation oven has extremely precise temperature regulation, and can be used with a variety of column lengths up to 300 mm
Autosampler SIL-20A/20AC (Inert kit)
The SIL-20A/20AC is an autosampler with very low carryover, which allows high-accuracy, highspeed injections of volumes from 0.1 μL up. The flow-line can be made inert using the inert kit.
HF-500 oven
This oven was build to provide the best accessibility to the quartz tube in order to simplify maintenance at the highest level.
No need to dismount and separate the different modules as within less than 1 minute you have checked it.
ASC-570 LS solid-liquid autosampler
If you need to have a fully automatic instrument, this module it the best choice. Available for liquid samples and solid samples
Samples tray type for standard 2 or 4 ml Vial for liquid samples
Boat tray for solid and non-volatile or viscous samples

Solid
Sample boat in high precision Ceramic (Standard)
Sample boat quantity : 49 pcs
Electronic Boat cooling (Peltier)
Power supply AC 100/115/230/240V, 50/60Hz, 192VA
Mass and weight 500(W) x 460(D) x 600(H), Approx. 27kg
AC-500 Offline collection module
- When a measurement result is unexpectedly high, collected absorption solution can be diluted for reanalysis
- Combustion can be performed continuously without IC
- Absorption solutions can be analyzed by other methods than IC
- Efficient operation is possible, for example, absorption solution can be prepared during the day and IC measurements can be performed at night.
- No need of «» system, the IC can be used for other analysis.
- Up to 20 collections bottle of 10 ml
- Up to 3x AC-500 modules on one AQF-5000 system, total up to 60 treated samples collected.


The AQF-5000 SMART is a complete combustion system without autosample.
This configuration is a perfect choice for laboratories analyzing less than 50 samples a week.
Placing the boat or inject your liquid sample with a syringe is easy.
All the performances for qualitative and quantitative measurement of all halogens and sulfur stay the same as the complete system, and you can upgrade later with the fully automated ASI-570 LS.
