The SPA represents a significant leap forward in continuous sulfate analysis

The NEW Model 5020 SPA, Sulfate Particulate Analyzer represents a significant leap forward in continuous sulfate analysis.

Product Details

The Model 5020 SPA converts SO4 to SO2 using a thermal reduction technique. SO2 is then analyzed using pulsed fluorescence spectroscopy. The result is a continuous analyzer producing data points every 10 seconds. Isokinetic extraction of the sample assures complete capture of the particulate laden flow. Not only is the SPA less complex to set-up and operate than other sulfate analyzers but it offers the same software environment as other Thermo gas analyzers. The SPA can also used with industry standard inlets to assure consistancy with other established particulate methods. With an improved optics bench, customers can be confident in a high precision trace level analyzer.

Features and Benefits

• User friendly - Easy to use "bluebox" technology
• Continuous real-time analyzer means no batch sampling
• Direct measurement of background zero air without using gas cylinders
• Improved optics
• Can be used with industry standard inlets and cyclones
