Powder pillow technology brings enjoyment to wastewater and drinking water analysis

MACHEREY-NAGEL’s new product range of powder pillow reagents is now also available on their latest NANOCOLOR VIS II spectrophotometer. The combination of VISOCOLOR® Powder Pillows and MACHERY NAGEL’S spectrophotometers give extremely precise results, with durable, long-term stable reagents which are used versatile in all kinds of drinking water and waste water analysis.

MACHEREY-NAGEL revolutionises your daily laboratory work with the NANOCOLOR® VIS II spectrophotometer. It combines premium high-tech optics with outstanding usability. With its intuitive, icon-based menu guidance, this innovative spectrophotometer can be used like a smartphone or tablet. The clearly arranged, high-resolution touch screen display makes your daily measurement routine a real pleasure. On the technical side, the NANOCOLOR® VIS II impresses with clever mechanics and optics. As a unique aspect of all MACHEREY-NAGEL spectrophotometers, the NANOCOLOR® VIS II also features an integrated nephelometric turbidity (NTU) measurement function. A huge advantage of this measurement is the integrated NTU-check function, which allows the detection of interfering turbidities with every powder pillow measurement – an unprecedented measurement safety in the field of powder pillow reagents.

VISOCOLOR® Powder Pillows combine easy dosing of reagents with long-term stability. Every powder pillow contains the exact amount of reagent, which is needed for one determination. No contamination of reagents is possible. Therefore, the shelf life of reagent kits is up to five years. All necessary information for quality assurance, such as test name, LOT and expiry date is printed on every powder pillow to ensure the highest measurement safety. No scissor or spoon is required for opening and dosing of powder pillow reagents directly into the test tube. This means maximum measurement comfortability.

VISOCOLOR® Powder Pillows are available for many different parameters, which are important in drinking water, wastewater and general water analysis. Available parameters are: chlorine free, chlorine total, ozone, sulphate, silica and pH.

All VISOCOLOR® Powder Pillow parameters are preprogrammed on the NANOCOLOR® VIS II ex works. They offer the unique feature of a pre-programmed blank and therefore do not require a blank measurement, which is time-saving.

Easy to understand pictograms and written instructions in six different languages are available for all powder pillow parameters. The combination of VISOCOLOR® Powder Pillows and the NANOCOLOR® VIS II make your work more precise, efficient and even more enjoyable.
