Smartchem Discrete Auto Analyzer

Incorporated in 1987 and YDI group subsidiary since 2001, Alliance instruments is specialised in development, production and distribution high precision analyzers for food and environment markets.
Smartchem is one the more attractive Discrete analyzer on the market. Especially design for industrial, environmental and food analysis. Smartchem offer a simple and efficient solution to manage a large type of routine analysis, enzymatic or colorimetric. Smartchem is ideal to measure various acids in wines or nutrients or other ions in all type of water including poluted ones. Equipped with a cadmium coil module, it allow you to measure Nitrate according ISO or EPA approved methods.SmartChem is EPA conference call in 2004 and Federal letter for NPDES 2005.

Principle

Each sample is reacted in a “discrete” cuvette. Robotics are used to automate the process. Mimics the operation of a bench chemist.

Features

• 9 optical filters, plus 1 dark filter, ranging from 340 to 880nm with others optionally available.
• One sample more parameter
• True sample blanking
• Each reaction in its own cuvette, low cross contamination
• No flowing streams, no pump tubes, no baseline stabilization, no shutdown, no hardware changes, low reagent & sample consumption, minimize hazardous waste, reduce operating costs
• High level of automation, ease of use/simple operation, true unattended operation
• Multiple methods in batch mode, automatic “switch-over”, auto dilution of samples, standards
• Computer controlled micro pipettor, precise dispensing of all liquids, probe cleaning after every liquid contact, prevents cross contamination and carryover, reduce of reagents and hazardous wastes , an integral sensor for low level alerts
• Automatic cuvette cleaning provides continuous operation, optical integrity of each cuvette is verified before each use
• Nitrate - nitrite module: replicates US EPA method # 353.2, automated cadmium reduction of nitrate to nitrite followed by diazotization and coupling
• Continuous sample loading
• Photometer: A high resolution, dual beam digital detector , expanded absorbance range to 2.500 AUFS , reduces the need to reanalyze over range samples
