Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does the SUPEC 5000A measure?
It measures the permanganate index of water samples, an indicator used to assess the content of readily oxidizable substances under specified analytical conditions.
2. Which standard does the SUPEC 5000A follow?
The analyzer is designed according to Chinese national standard GB 11892-1989, Water Quality—Determination of Permanganate Index.
3. Can the analyzer perform both acidic and alkaline methods?
Yes. A single SUPEC 5000A instrument supports both methods, allowing laboratories to select the appropriate procedure for their testing requirements.
4. What is the measurement range?
The specified measurement range is 0–5 mg/L, with a resolution of 0.001 mg/L.
5. What is the minimum detection limit?
The specified minimum detection limit is ≤0.5 mg/L. Confirm the validation procedure and applicable reporting limits for the intended application.
6. How many samples can be processed at one time?
The standard sample tray accommodates 24 positions. Higher-throughput configurations can be customized.
7. How long does it take to analyze one sample?
The specified single-sample analysis time is approximately 5 minutes or longer. Actual throughput depends on the selected analytical method, sample characteristics, and instrument operating sequence.
8. Can the instrument analyze colored or turbid water samples?
The instrument is designed for clear, colored, and turbid samples. Sample suitability and analytical performance should be verified for the specific water matrix and required method.
9. How does automation improve laboratory efficiency?
Automatic sample transfer, reagent dosing, digestion, titration, and data recording reduce repetitive manual tasks, help standardize analytical procedures, and support higher batch-testing efficiency.
