Sherwood
Scientific announced a significant update of the renowned Model 926 Chloride
Analyser in 2011. This latest version retains the excellent accuracy and
reliability which have made Sherwood's Model 926 the instrument of choice and
will be on display for the first time this year the ArabLAB 2012 exhibition in
Dubai on Sherwood Scientific's Stand No. 346.
For
30 years the Model 926 Chloride Analyser has been recognised by the food
industry, independent studies and APHA Standard Methods as an accurate and
precise instrument for measuring salt in food products. The latest version
offers the familiar mode of operation and results format, as well as the same
usability and high performance specification, but with the addition of features
which will be welcomed by users.
Changes
to the PCB have facilitated incorporation of surface mount switches protected
by a leak-proof membrane, making a more rugged easier to clean instrument. The
new 2.75 inch 60 dpi LCD display has space to give additional on-screen status
information, units of measurement and operator prompts, for even simpler
operation by new or occasional users.
Food
manufacturers require to rapidly and accurately check the chloride (NaCl)
concentration in foodstuffs, such as snacks, cheese and seasonings, for QA/QC
purposes. Chloride content is also a critical measurement in cement manufacture
and, as in the food industry, Sherwood's Model 926 Chloride Analyser is widely
chosen for its ability to deliver highly accurate results without need to make
fresh reagents as required by silver nitrate methods for chloride
determination. For food applications a dedicated button on the 926 provides
instant conversion of chloride into mg% salt content in the foodstuff under
analysis.
The Model
926S is for clinical use; principally determination of chloride in sweat
samples for cystic fibrosis confirmation. The option to handle 20µl sample volumes
without need to recalibrate is a particular advantage, given the test is
usually applied to tiny samples from babies and infants.
