AQ400 Automated Multi-Chemistry Discrete Analyzer The AQ400 Analyzer is a bench top Analyzer that has been developed to meet the specific need for a modern, automated discrete analyzer in the environmental laboratory. This analyzer has been developed to address the needs of laboratories that require high levels of automation, a wide range of chemistries, limits of detection that ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and the advantages of integration with LIMS systems. The AQ400 is a flexible system that meets these requirements and can be configured via the industry specific software to meet the operational needs of laboratories with a wide range of analytical and throughput levels. Design & Functional Specifications The design concept of the SEAL Analyzers is to enhance productivity of analytical services in busy laboratories by streamlining the workflow of samples and information through the total analytical process. Extensive experience in environmental laboratories has shown that the key to increasing productivity is the avoidance of multiple types of equipment and analytical procedures. In a laboratory where the routine range of colorimetric determinants requires the use of a range of instruments with restricted test menu, low throughput and multiple calibration/maintenance needs, the workflow involves several processes which are labor intensive, subject to potential error, and costly to operate. These include: • The need to produce separate work-lists/load-lists for the different analyzers, with associated test order entry. • The splitting of samples and maintaining integrity of identity of the sub-aliquots. • Separate calibration, operation, and quality control regimens on multiple analyzers. • Collating results from multiple analyzers for final reports, possibly with multiple interfaces to LIMS. When these elements are rigorously costed, inclusive of personnel time, instrument maintenance costs, space requirements, duplicated consumables, I.T. costs, etc., it becomes clear that the overall cost of analysis per sample is greatly reduced by consolidating the workflow onto a single nutrients system. Thus, the design specification of the SEAL Analyzers was to develop a family of units based on a standard software platform, utilizing the same range of Commercial in confidence SEAL JR-170403-AN Rev1 - 5 - chemistries, which have the breadth of test menu, speed of throughput, and flexibility to process a workload that would otherwise require a combination of different contemporary analyzers and manual assay techniques. Equally, it is a requirement that any analyzer selected meets the analytical performance criteria set out by the US EPA and other Standard bodies. Whereas, many contemporary analyzers in this market are required to operate at the extreme edge of their detection capability to meet these limits, the SEAL Analyzers routinely meet these criteria. Finally, SEAL recognizes that the environment within which our systems operate is subject to change, whether from new technical demands, regulatory affairs, or changing practices of the Water & Environmental Industry. Therefore, we commit continuing resources to system development, including hardware enhancements, applications, software and chemistry methods. Environmental Policy SEAL is a manufacturer of high-quality automated analyzers and supplier of reagent systems for use in the Water, Soils and Environmental analysis sectors. The Company is aware that its products do have an impact on the environment in both the production and end-user stages of the product life cycle. The Company is therefore making every effort to determine the environmental impact of its operation and products and, where possible, implement a policy of reduction. Specifically: • Design new reagents and analyzers to take account of environmental issues such as waste production, power consumption, and low heat dissipation. • Reformulate reagent systems to reduce harmful waste without affecting analytical performance. • Provide full COSHH safety data on all products. • Recycle, where practical, in-house produced waste. • Minimize energy consumption within the factory and in the transport provided to employees. Environmental Issues • Discrete analysis by definition uses less than 10% of the reagents used by Continuous Flow systems. AQ400 Training The AQ400 system and software design has been strongly influenced by listening to SEAL users and regulatory requirements. As a result, the system is easy and intuitive to use. An on-site training course is conducted at installation covering the following aspects of the system: • Introduction • Hardware overview • Principles of operation • Daily routine • System software operation, including: Test parameters, Reagent parameters, Standard definition, QC definition, Scheduling, Routine running Acceptance, Data storage routines LIMS interface • Analyzer routine maintenance • Troubleshooting/corrective maintenance • Method Applications Commercial in confidence SEAL JR-170403-AN Rev1 - 6 - Warranty Policy: • Subject to the conditions set out below, the Company warrants that the Goods will correspond with their specification at the time of delivery and will be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of 12 months from the date of the initial use or 15 months from delivery, whichever is the first to expire. • The above warranty given by the Company subject to the following conditions: • The Company shall be under no liability in respect of any defect in the Goods arising from any drawings, design or specification supplied by the Buyer; • The Company shall be under no liability in respect of any defect arising from fair wear and tear, willful damage, negligence, abnormal working conditions, failure to follow the Company’s instruction (whether oral or in writing) (including instructions regarding preventative maintenance), misuse or alteration or repair of the Goods without the Company’s approval; • The Company shall be under no liability under the above warranty (or any other warranty, conditions of guarantee) if the total price of the Goods has not been paid by the due date of payment; • The above warranty does not extend to parts, materials or equipment not manufactured by the Company, in respect of which the Buyer shall only be entitled to the benefit of any such warranty or guarantee as is given by the manufacturer to the Company. • Any claim by the Buyer which is based on any defect in the quality or condition of the Goods or their failure to correspond with specification shall (whether or not delivery is refused by the Buyer) be notified by the Company within 7 days from the date of delivery (where the defect or failure was not apparent on reasonable inspection) within a reasonable time within discovery of the defect or failure.

Bid # 17-7113 SP2000series Robotic Analyzers your partner in chemistry automation The SP2000series Robotic Analyzers Skalar’s sophisticated SP2000 robotic platform offers dedicated and fl exible automation solutions for routine analytical testing. The SP2000 platform is designed to fit the exact requirements of a laboratory. Each configuration is set up by choosing the application, level of automation, sample capacity, sample throughput, probes/meters, racks, sample/reagent containers etc. The analyzers are fitted with protective front and side covers to comply with applicable CE regulations. All analyzers are controlled by RoboticAccess™, a state of the art software package which has many user-definable operations, pre-defined procedure application files and includes extensive QC features which are required for today’s modern laboratory. In addition to these pre-configured automation solutions, the instruments can be built with a second robotic arm, for example, to increase sample throughput by using multiple probes or to perform two applications at the same time such as BOD and COD or sample preparation. The SP2000 analyzers automate all manual handling steps in the procedure of an application such as sample dilution, capping / de-capping, liquid handling, mixing, addition of reagents etc. Skalar has automated the following applications: Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) according to ISO 6060 Test kit applications including ST-COD according to ISO 15705 pH, Conductivity (EC), Alkalinity, Carbonate / Bicarbonate and other titrations Turbidity and Color Ion Selective Electrode (ISE) measurements Particle size distribution analysis in soil, Automatic sample pipetting And others A smart automation example is our SP2000 BOD analyzer extended with automatic pH setting of the original sample, sample pipetting and sample aeration. The original sample is pH adjusted and aliquots are automatically pipetted into the BOD bottles prior to the BOD analysis procedure. The BOD analysis procedure is executed and, if necessary, the sample can be automatically aerated and homogenized before dissolved oxygen measurement. Depending on the preferences of the user the aeration and homogenization of the original sample itself can also be performed. A second arm can also be incorporated to increase sample throughput by using multiple oxygen probes or to perform additional tasks for example other analyses such as Conductivity, Alkalinity and Turbidity can be combined with BOD on the same robot. Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) BOD analysis is one of the most common applications for water laboratories. Therefore, Skalar developed the most flexible Robotic BOD platform available today. Besides its modern design and latest technology innovations, it has a flexible set up from 18 up to 198 BOD bottles. Each laboratory can customize the SP2000 platform to fit their exact laboratory requirements with respect to sample throughput, level of automation, sample capacity etc. The SP2000 automates BOD analysis in accordance with all (inter)national regulations as well as customer specifi c methods. The SP2000 BOD analyzer automates: • Bottle capping/de-capping • Addition of Nitrification inhibitor (ATU) • Addition of Seed • Addition of dilution water • Measurement of Dissolved Oxygen value (DO1) and final DO2 value • Probe/stirrer rinsing between each measurement • Calculation of BOD value according to EPA 405.1, ISO 5815-1, EN-1899-1/2, Standard Methods 5210 B, DIN 38409 etc. SP2000 BOD in combination with pH adjustment and sample pipetting Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) The chemical oxygen demand (COD) test is a commonly used method for indirect measurement of the amount of organic compounds in water. This makes the COD value an important parameter for evaluating water quality. ST-COD – ISO 15705 The ST-COD method is based on exactly the same reaction as described in the classical method, but instead of titration, a photometric detection is used, which saves a lot of time. Another advantage of the ST-COD method is the use of tubes containing ready- to-use reagents, which minimizes the handling of toxic and hazardous reagents. COD – ISO 6060 The SP2000 analyzer automates the labor-intensive COD analysis. After digestion, the operator can place the interchangeable racks with the digested samples directly onto the SP2000. This saves the operator time and avoids sample handling with dangerous reagents. The samples are cooled and are automatically titrated with iron ammonium-sulfate to determine the excess of oxidizing agent. The software calculates and stores the COD data of each sample. The SP2000 analyzers can be confi gured to automate COD using the sealed tube COD method (ST-COD) according to ISO 15705/ EPA 410.4 or with the classical titration method according to ISO 6060. The SP2000 ST-COD analyzer automates: • Sample tube pick up • Sample tube (de) capping • Pipetting of the sample • Sample mixing • Sample positioning in heating reactor • Sample heating/cooling • Sample homogenizing • Photometric measurement COD concentration Automated COD method – ISO 6060 Photometric test kit automation for water applications pH /Conductivity / Alkalinity / Turbidity Titrations / Color in water The SP2000 analyzer offers complete automation of ready-to-use test kit applications such as the ST-COD, Total Phosphate, Total Nitrogen, Ammonium, Nitrate, Nitrite, Sulfide and Phenol index. The analyzer automates all the necessary manual handling steps of the photometric test kit procedure such as sample pipetting, tube (de)-capping, addition of reagents, mixing, heating, cooling and measurement. The SP2000 robot can be built to accommodate from 24 up to 336 tubes in one batch. The analyzer can process multiple applications in parallel or sequentially at an individual sample level. The analyzer can handle test kits and photometers from different manufacturers. A configuration with a second robotic arm is possible to increase sample throughput by using a second gripper, sample needle and stirrer or to perform additional tasks such as pH setting/measurement or sample pipetting. Accurately controlling the quality of drinking water is increasingly important. The SP2000 analyzer is extremely suitable for automating the analysis of multiple parameters all in one system. The analyzer can be configured with a capacity of 32-352 sample containers in one batch. Custom-made configurations are also available to meet the requirements of any laboratory. These include the choice of various other applications (acidity, hardness, fluoride etc.), the running sequence and the integration of a variety of sample racks, different types of sample beakers and a compatibility with many current models of meter & probe. Complete “walk-away” automation is provided including: • Automatic capping/de-capping • Measurement of pH, Alkalinity, EC, Turbidity and Color • In-line sample filtration prior to Color measurement • Automatic stirring • Automatic rinsing of probe, stirrer, draining needle, filters and flow through cells • Result calculation The SP2000 Clay fraction analyzer automates: • addition of sodiumpyrophosphate • addition of distilled water • sample homogenizing, • sample pipetting, • evaporation/drying of sample trays • calculation of the clay fraction Automation of Soil - pH Particle Size Distribution Analysis in Soil The soil-pH gives information about how to improve the quality of the soil, which will result in increased crop quantities and cost reduction. Our SP2000 platform is perfectly suited for processing large quantities of soil samples every day. The system adds the required extractant to the sample, stirs, waits for a predefined time and determines the pH automatically. Any variables within these stages, such as the pre-stirring time and the stabilization criteria can be adapted at any time to accommodate all sample types and norms in one run. Skalar has automated the particle size distribution analysis in soil according to ISO 11277. The clay fraction is essential in assessing soil quality. The procedure involves very precise timing stages, tasks which are much more easily performed by an analyzer than a human operator. The SP2000 automatically adds sodiumpyrophosphate and brings the suspension to volume. The sample is homogenized for a user-defined time and after a settling period of several hours a fraction of the suspension is taken at a predefined depth and dispensed in an evaporation dish. After drying, the clay fraction is calculated. The analyzer has a capacity from 35 up to 105 positions available for 1000 ml sedimentation cylinders and the same amount for evaporation dishes or vials. The analyzer can also provide automation of other soil fractions. The analyzer has a capacity of up to 792 containers (50 ml). For extremely large batches the analyzer can be configured with two robotic arms each with multiple electrode configurations, up to a total of 12 electrodes, for increased throughput. The SP2000 pH- soil analyzer automates: • pH probe calibration • Addition of extraction solution • Sample stirring • Pre-defined sample settling times • Measurement of pH • Result calculation Software The Robotics software is a fl exible and multitasking program for controlling the robotic analyzers. While analyzing the samples, already obtained results are processed and new analyses can be prepared and scheduled. Runs can be easily started by selecting the required application fi le and simply creating a user defi ned sample table by dragging the racks to the analyzer. An application fi le contains the instructions for the analyzer to perform the analysis. The BOD application for example includes procedures for the automated BOD sequence such as bottle decapping, addition of ATU and/or seed, addition of dilution water, sample homogenization and Oxygen measurement. These pre-defi ned application fi les meet (inter) national regulations or user defi ned requirements. When the sample table is completed and the analysis sequence is defi ned, the run can be started or scheduled for another start time. The status of the running analysis can be followed on the screen and the results are displayed in real-time. During the run, it is possible to add priority samples and exclude samples from measurement. Results can be printed in user defi ned print reports and exported to Excel or LIMS and as a txt fi le. Completed runs can be archived as well as backed up and restored later. Integrated Quality Control features assure accurate results and full compliance with required regulations. QC samples can be analyzed and Quality control charts together with other valuable statistical information can be created. Also CLP protocols can be included, which allow automatic actions of the Robot analyzer itself if QC and CLP limits are exceeded. This guarantees the production of highly accurate results and automatic quality control of the Robotic analyzer’s performance. Software features: • Defi nable levels to prevent unauthorized access • Scheduler for a delayed start time • Pre-defi ned applications, such as BOD, COD, pH, Alkalinity, Turbidity, ISE and many more • Customized applications can be integrated. • Easy addition/deletion of samples during a run • Possibility of exporting results during analysis • Results export as txt or to Excel / LIMS • User defi ned print reports • Possibility of using Quality samples and creating Quality Control Charts Canada Skalar, Inc.
