Simple and reliable determination of arsenic in water

The usual spectroscopic methods (ICP-MS, AAS) for the determination of toxic arsenic in drinking water are either very expensive or challenging to use. An alternative method that is much easier to use and much less expensive at the same time is voltammetric determination with the scTRACE Gold. This new, screenprinted sensor can be used without any preparation; measuring results are available after only 10 minutes on average, and the detection limit for arsenic is well below the 10 µg/L stipulated by the latest legislation in the US and the EU....
