2060 VA/CVS Process Analyzer
Precise trace metal analysis with Voltammetry or organic additives monitoring with CVS (Cyclic Voltammetric Stripping).
Voltammetry (VA) and Cyclic Voltammetric Stripping Analysis (CVS) play crucial roles in routine plant analysis protocols. The 2060 VA/CVS Process Analyzer features a seamless integration of the Metrohm 884 Professional VA, guaranteeing reliable performance. This process analyzer is housed in a sturdy enclosure, ensuring all components are well-suited for even the most demanding production environments. Additionally, the straightforward design allows for easy operation and customization.
While the 2060 VA Process Analyzer is designed for classical trace analysis through voltammetry, the 2060 CVS Process Analyzer specializes in quantifying organic additives within electroplating baths.
- Powerful dedicated viva software
- Customized liquid handling with dosing units, pumps, and level sensors
- Up to 10 sampling streams possible for inline VA/CVS analysis
- Automated pre-treatment of samples, including pH adjustment, digestion, and dilution
- Ability to integrate various analytical techniques (such as Voltammetry with Photometry) into a single analysis
- Inert components and protective enclosures ensure the necessary cleanliness levels essential for trace analysis
Metrohm – Pioneer in automated voltammetry
Voltammetry, an electrochemical method, precisely determines trace and ultratrace concentrations of heavy metals and other electrochemically active substances. It involves varying the electrode potential while measuring and analyzing the resulting current, which arises from electron transfer during relevant electrochemical reactions.
With over a century of research and optimization, the 2060 VA Process Analyzer, part of the 2060 platform, is purpose-built for voltammetric analysis, accommodating various electrodes such as Metrohm's MultiMode Electrode pro (MME).
Online CVS analysis of electroplating baths
Copper electrodeposition, essential in PCB production, demands meticulous monitoring of organic additives to maintain optimal plating conditions.
The special technique Cyclic Voltammetric Stripping (CVS) is widely used in the electroplating industry for the determination of organic additives such as suppressors, levelers, and brighteners. The 2060 CVS Process Analyzer offers real-time monitoring, enabling continuous observation of baths and swift detection of parameter changes.
By integrating real-time monitoring, these process analyzers enable continuous observation of plating baths, ensuring proactive intervention and consistent product quality.
Enhanced automation with the 2060 platform
To reduce manual labor and improve the accuracy and repeatability of your results, you can add dosing units, pumps, and level sensors to the 2060 VA Process Analyzer and 2060 CVS Process Analyzer.
For instance, integrating a sampling panel facilitates sample pre-conditioning, while tubing pump modules automate rinsing. Additionally, incorporating a sample digester (thermal or UV) enables trace metal analysis on difficult samples such as those containing organics or unwanted electroactive species.

Sample preconditioning
Metrohm Process Analytics can engineer and supply virtually any “unit operation” for sample preconditioning and can provide a complete working solution for most industrial processes.
Besides the chemical analysis, sample preparation, preconditioning and location of the analyzer are deciding factors for the success of online and atline analysis. We can provide a full solution for almost any application, an analyzer in combination with sample preparation or even a complete turnkey package with a shelter, piping, wiring, and interfacing. This allows for a seamless startup and integration of the analyzer on-site.
