Introduction
The Thermo Scientific Orion 2200 series analyzers are compact wet-chemistry analysis
systems, designed for the continuous on-line analysis of water in several applications across
many industries.
The Orion 2230XP Silica Analyzer uses the colorimetric detection method that relies on specific
reagents that are added to the sample to produce a reacted color compound.
The intensity of the color determines the concentration in reference to a known reacted
standard. The colored compound absorbs energy at a specific wavelength in accordance with
the Beer-Lambert Law.
The instrument uses Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) that emit light at a narrow bandwidth
selected for the specific application.
The Silica analysis method uses the near infrared LED (NIR) at 810 nm.
