NEWS FROM SKALAR
THE SP2000SERIES FULLY AUTOMATED
WATER ANALYZER FOR TEST KITS
Skalar introduces the SP2000series for water laboratories
using automated test kit applications such as the small
scale sealed tube COD (ST-COD) test according to
ISO15705 or Total Phosphate, Total Nitrogen Ammonium,
Nitrite test kits and others.
This new water analyzer automates all the necessary
manual handling steps of the photometric test kit procedure
such as sample pipetting, (de)-capping, addition of
reagents, mixing, heating, cooling and measurement.
See detailed pictures below.
To demonstrate the flexibility and versatility of our SP2000 test kit platform we
will give you the most important features.
The platform is modular and ensures that any requirement on sample numbers
can be fulfilled. The sample capacity varies from 24 up to 336 tubes. The sample
and test tube racks can be easily exchanged when the sample analyses are
finished which expands the number of samples per run or operation. In addition
when sample numbers are increasing in the future, it is always possible to expand
the base platform.
The instrument can be configured for the analysis of one test kit application or
for multiple test kit applications such as combinations of COD, Total Phosphate
and Total Nitrogen etc. In the software the user can define if these applications
have to be processed sequential or in parallel. Furthermore the analyzer is
compatible with tube tests and photometers of different suppliers/manufacturers.
The analyzer is equipped with a vertical shaker for easily dissolving the solid
reagents of the tube test and mixing them with the sample as well as a rotating
shaker for mixing the test tubes before measurement.
The platform can be built with a 2nd robotic arm to increase sample throughput
by using multiple grippers & sample needles or to perform additional tasks such as
BOD, pH etc.
Other Available Robotic applications:
• BOD
• pH, Conductivitiy (EC), Alkalinity
• Carbonate/Bicarbonate
and other titrations
• Turbidity and Color
•
•
•
•
Ion Selective Electrodes (ISE)
COD according to ISO 6060
Particle size distribution analysis in soil
Automatic weighing and filtration of the sample
• Automatic sample pipetting
