MICRO DIST

Product catalog summary
Overview: The MICRO DIST system by Lachat Instruments offers a compact and efficient solution for distilling samples for cyanides, sulfide, ammonia, phenolics, and tritium. It significantly reduces the time, cost, and complexity associated with traditional glassware-based distillation methods.
Specifications: The system can distill up to 21 samples in 30 minutes for cyanides, sulfide, and ammonia, and in 90 minutes for phenolics and tritium. It operates without the need for a fume hood, purge cylinder gas, or running cooling water, and requires minimal bench space.
Time Efficiency: Compared to MIDI and MACRO systems, MICRO DIST requires only 65 minutes for a complete cycle (setup, warm-up, distillation, cool-down, and clean-up) for 21 samples, whereas MIDI and MACRO systems take 230 and 450 minutes respectively for 10 samples.
Environmental and Operational Benefits: The system minimizes sample and waste volumes, does not require breakable glassware, and is EPA approved for cyanide reporting in drinking water and wastewater.
Ordering Information: MICRO DIST units are available in 110V and 220V versions, and tubes can be ordered pre-filled or user-filled with various trapping solutions. For technical assistance and ordering, contact details are provided for both U.S. and international customers.
Usage Procedure: The process involves placing a 6 mL sample into a Sample Tube, attaching it to a Collector Tube, heating in a block for 30 minutes, and then processing the distillate.
