Hi to all,
We are currently doing research on water quality monitoring in mangrove waters. We are planing to purchase an automated nutrient analyzer for nitrates, nitrites, silicates and phosphates.
I kindly request the advice of any researchers involved in this area. Which products are good? Which products are the most effective, and I can I obtain them?
We've had very good luck with Astoria Pacific rapid flow analyzers (see http://www.astoria-pacific.com/industrial/product-applications/water/) having used them for more than 25 years. Here's the link to our lab SOPs (which include methods for various forms of N, P and Cl - sorry no silicate) http://www.uri.edu/ce/wq/ww/Publications/LabSOPs.pdf. Good luck
At our Institute we have QuAAtro SFA Analyzer (from SEAL Analytical) http://www.seal-analytical.com/Products/QuAAtroSFAAnalyzer/tabid/60/language/en-US/Default.aspx .
And I also know, that other Institutes nearby have the same one.
The complex matrix of sea water may cause for significant problems in Ion Chromatography. QuikChem can be a good choice (http://lachatinstruments.com/products/quik-chem-flow-injection-analysis/quikchem-fia.asp)
Please see the attached link for nutrients automated analyzer

We are using the San++ Automated Wet Chemistry Analyzer also known as Continuous Flow Analyzer for analyzing the seawater quality. in that, can analyze, Nitrite, Nitrate, Phosphorus, Silicate, Ammonia even more
I have used the Astoria-Pacific nutrient anlyzer since 2003 analyzing seawater samples for nitrites, nitrates, silicates, phosphates and ammonia in the Atlantic, Indian and Southern oceans. This is an excellent product.
