Voltammetric instrumentation · Perth, Australia
Trace metals measured where the result matters.
Portable and continuous systems for low-level metal analysis in water, industrial processes and environmental samples—built for field teams, laboratories and process engineers.
Official system overview
Microtrace Metals
More than twenty years in design and support.
The team has designed and supplied voltammetric instruments for more than twenty years, developing instruments and methods for a broad range of applications.
Instruments
Choose by operating environment.
Official Microtrace product images with direct access to the technical platform pages.
Automated monitoring
Continuous or intermittent trace-metal monitoring for process streams, effluent, rivers and potable-water systems.
Measurement at the sample
Portable measurements on site or in the laboratory, with published suitability for water and soil.
Capability
Claims supported by method and context.
Performance depends on the analyte, sample matrix, electrode, preparation and measurement programme. Each published claim should lead to the applicable method, data or technical note.
Low-level detection
Method-specific detection performance, stated with the conditions under which it applies.
Actionable timing
Field and continuous formats can reduce delay between sampling, analysis and response.
Practical operation
Installation and operating requirements documented for each platform and application.
Applications
Where instruments are used.
Published Microtrace applications, presented with the most relevant instrument context.
Industrial process control
OVA provides real-time results, automated measurement scripts, alarms and reporting for process streams.
Environmental monitoring
OVA supports continuous river and potable-water monitoring; PDV supports measurements in the field.
Outfall and sewage supervision
OVA is published for continuous or intermittent monitoring of effluent discharges.
Research
More than 1,000 portable instruments have been sold for laboratory, field-survey and research applications.
Soil survey and contamination
The PDV6000 ultra is published as suitable for water and soil.
Trace metals measured
Current published capability.
The July 2025 Microtrace LOD list includes 23 metals. Limits vary with sample type; typical clean-water values are shown on the Capability page.
Application profiles
Published use, organised like case studies.
The live website does not publish named clients or outcomes, so these profiles use only official product and application information.
Method
How the measurement works.
Microtrace instruments use voltammetric methods to identify and quantify selected metals. Detailed chemistry, electrode selection, interferences and validation belong on the technical page.
Published experience
More than 300 online instruments and more than 1,000 portable instruments sold worldwide.
