Leading Contract Analytical Service Laboratory Selects Exeter Model 440

Exeter Analytical has announced that it recently installed a new Model 440 CHN/O/S Elemental Analyser with leading European contract analytical service laboratory - Butterworth Laboratory Limited. (Teddington, UK).

Frank Judge, Principal Analytical Chemist at Butterworth Laboratory Limited commented "We have used a manual Exeter Analytical Model 440 system for some years with excellent results. After a detailed evaluation of the commercially available instruments we decided upon a new generation Model 440 with autosampler and linear regression plus software. We have found that the Model 440 with autosampler has given us much tighter precision on the third percentage decimal point and the linear regression plus software then takes the instrument to a new level of CHN accuracy and precision we have not experienced before. Also, importantly, the Model 440 has been designed and is proven to give accurate, reliable results with wide ranging sample types from low level screening of inorganics for Carbon right through to high levels in graphite and also confirmation of novel synthetic compounds".

Paul Hemming, European Sales Manager for Exeter Analytical said "We are delighted that Butterworth Laboratories chose our system". He added "The ability of the Model 440 to routinely and simply produce accurate and precise data on wide ranging sample types without system re-optimisation has meant many commercial laboratories have chosen our system as it also saves them precious time and reduces running costs".
