Introduction
FIA 2000 is an advanced multi-use high precision flow injection
analyser for the discriminating chemist. Based on colorimetric
or UV detection, it has been designed for economy and ease of
use essential to the modern laboratory.
Applications
There are many established uses for flow injection. Popular
applications include
- Waters
- Soil samples
- Landfill samples
- Fertilisers
- Food and drinks
- Chemicals/Pharmaceuticals
- Method development
- Quality control
FIA 2000 will analyse nutrients, ions and metals. Burkard methods
combine the latest improvements in performance with low reagent
consumption. FIA 2000 offers a wide analytical choice using the
additional techniques of ion selective electrodes, chemiluminescence
or fluorescence. Because of this it is suitable for the user
with small sample quantities but it is equally at home with routine
analysis. Internationally certified methods are used where applicable.

The Instrument
FIA2000 comprises 3 separate units
- Basic Analytical Module
- Automatic Sample Presentation
- Data Capture
You can purchase just what you need. Your analysis can start
immediately with the analytical module. You can add a sample
changer or the low-cost manual injection timer. You can expand
further with full data capture and control. The innovative Windows™ based MicroStream introduces
a new dimension in advanced laboratory programming.

Performance
With analysis speeds up to 120 samples per hour and detection limits
down to ppb levels flow injection analysis performs well compared
with other techniques. Special design features of the FIA 2000
produce fast high quality analysis.
Sampling options
FIA 2000 offers you fully automatic sampling with a choice of
carousel or
XYZ sample
changer. Automatic dilution of over-range samples is available
as an option on the XYZ. However to alleviate the need for dilution
the MicroStream data-processor has an extended concentration range
enabling the results to be printed out at up to 10 times the normal
calibration standard. When the instrument is not used with a sample
changer a low-cost manual injection timer is available to ensure
precise loop filling. In addition, each valve has a manual injection
button as standard to assist you with setting up of the individual
chemistries.

The manifold system
Standard components are used to construct the plug-in chemistry
manifolds. Ready assembled units are available for the most commonly
used methods. Where possible a single manifold can mount two related
chemistries. Pump tube and valve connections are conveniently positioned
and colour coded for identification. It takes only minutes to make
a change of method.
Detectors
The in-built standard high sensitivity colorimetric and UV detectors
use filter technology and flow through cells with a range of path
lengths from 3-50mm. Free standing alternative detectors for Chemiluminescence,
Fluorescence, and Ion Selective Electrode, interface with the chemistry
manifold using the appropriate couplings. A range of flow cells
are available for ISE measurements. The electrode should be specified
when ordering.
Data capture and processing
FIA 2000 comes with
MicroStream,
a powerful multi-tasking system based on Windows™ software.
MicroStream will speed up your calculating and reporting. Starting
with a low-cost package for single-channel use, this system can
be expanded to run up to four independent multi-channel analysers.
Quality control software checks the accuracy of analysis and all
results can be downloaded to other software packages and LIMS.
MicroStream is compatible with Windows™ based networks.
Total Automation
All Burkard analysers can be fitted with the computer controlled
automatic start-up and shut-down. A motorised
wash/reagent
changeover system ensures that all reagent lines are automatically
connected to a water-wash on completion of analysis. The computer
returns the valve to reagents for restart. Other computer control
options are possible, e.g. reagent level sensing, special functions
and interfacing to other instruments.
Standard chemistry methods
Data sheets are available and supplied with every method. Full
information on the make-up of standards, preparation of individual
chemicals and wash materials, sampler settings, optical filters
and manifold connections is included. Method development is available
for specific applications.
Servicing
The design of SERIES 2000 analysers mean that your servicing routine
is minimal. Only the regular change of pump tubes by the user is
required for routine operation. Annual and bi-annual service contracts
will keep your instrument professionally maintained.
