The Smartchem 170 combines the latest technology in discrete analysis with an innovative, unique design that guarantees accurate and reproducible results. The Smartchem 170 is the first discrete analyzer to utilize the Cuvette Quality Assurance System, performing an integrated QC check of each cuvette prior to use. In addition to automated analysis the Smartchem 170 offers automated system Quality Control. The Smartchem 170 is also the first discrete analyzer to utilize a patented, dedicated sample prep module for the determination of NOx by Cadmium reduction. Designed for multi-tasking and high throughput rates, the NOx module also provides automated cadmium regeneration. THE ADVANTAGES OF DIRECT READ DISCRETE ANALYSISS l Each reaction takes place in its own optical cuvette l True sample blanking performed directly in each cuvette l No flow cells l No baseline stabilization l No manual manifold changeover l No excessive reagent consumption l Automatic reagent blanking to evaluate reagent quality l Pre and Post dilution of samples and calibration standards l Automatic spike preparation l Automatic method changeover l Analyze samples in “batch” mode or “random” mode INTERACTIVE GRAPHICAL “DASHBOARD” PROVIDES A USER-FRIENDLY INTERFACE: l SELECT METHOD(S) AND TYPE IN SAMPLE IDS l FOLLOW THE DASHBOARD AND PLACE THE SAMPLES, REAGENTS, AND STOCK STANDARD IN THE AUTOSAMPLER l START ANALYSIS WITH A SIMPLE CLICK, ALL ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES FROM WORKING STANDARD DILUTION TO SAMPLE ANALYSIS, CUVETTE WASHING AND SYSTEM QC , ARE FULLY AUTOMATED AND DO NOT NEED ANY OPERATOR ACTION |
