Complete Automation for ST-COD Analysis on SP50 and SP1000 Robotic Analysers

Skalar (Netherlands) is pleased to present the next step in automation for the small scale sealed-tube COD analysis including automatic sample pipetting. This new feature completes the automation of st-COD procedure according to ISO 15705 and EPA 410.4

The analysers consist of a XYZ sample-handling station, a gripper for tube transportation, a thermo reactor for digestion, sample rack for sample loading and cool down, (de)-capping device, a photometer and a computer for data handling and control. Additional to this Skalar has also automated the sample pipetting.

The SP50 robotic analyser has a sample capacity of 96 samples and the SP1000 model handles up to 160 samples in one batch. Both analyzers handle ready- and self-made COD reaction tubes and are compatible with a range of different photometers. Any aqueous sample can be analysed, which includes all sewage and waste waters.

The Skalar robotic analysers are also available for automation of other colorimetric applications.
