The
L2000
DXT
Analyzer comes preprogrammed with 33 methods providing for analysis of a
large number of organo-chlorine compounds in most matrices. Correction factors are
preprogrammed to account for all of the steps necessary to run samples using the standard
prepackaged reagents. If the procedures are modified or other analytes are expected, up to 20
custom methods can easily be built.
The operational program of the
L2000
DXT
has been designed to provide the most versatile data
reduction platform possible for the analysis of chlorinated organic compounds in a variety of
matrices. At the same time, the program is easy to use for routine analysis and does not require
custom method development.
Unpacking
The
L2000
DXT
is shipped in its own carrying case, complete with all the hardware necessary for
