Advanced MicroLabs instrumentation incorporates micro-chip capillary electrophoresis with patent pending electrochemical detection technology invented at Colorado State University, coupled with a patent-pending sample delivery technology ,for real-time, online ion analyses. âThe achieved sensitivity typically matches, if not out performs, ion chromatography, and are much faster, easier, and less expensive Detection limits below 1 part per billion (ppb) have been demonstrated for perchlorate. The firm can separate and detect almost any ion in water, allowing them to address many new online measurement needs. With the chemistry for perchlorate analysis now well developed, the next set of evaluations is for ways to improve the water re-use and overall economics in power generating plants
