Nano-Band Explorer Benchtop

Now, metals testing on-site, in your hands, and under your control!

The Nano-Band™ Explorer Benchtop measures trace metals in aqueous solutions, at superior detection levels. Routinely make ppm measurements instantly, ppb measurements in seconds, and ppt measurements in minutes. The system integrates our patented Nano-Band™ electrodes, Windows™-based software and a multi-parameter instrument for bench-top use: bring trace metals analysis into your lab & under your control with the Nano-Band™ Explorer!

Each Explorer Benchtop system includes:

  • Nano-Band™ Explorer Benchtop instrument
  • Explorer Software to operate your instrument
  • 1 Carbon NanoBand electrode
  • Auxiliary electrode
  • Reference electrode
  • Electrode cleaning kit

Metals testing is in your hands and under your control with user-friendly, analytical Explorer software.

  • Sophisticated trace metals analysis via ASV and other techniques
  • Automated peak finding and identification: baseline, peak height, & peak area
  • User configurable in all measurement modes
  • Calibration routines, including method of standard addition
  • System diagnostics
