SP2000

Automation platform

Skalar SP2000 analyzer
SP2000 in a COD configuration. The system layout varies by application.

Your lab routine.
With fewer manual steps.

SP2000 automates tasks that may take up much of your workday today: preparing samples, dispensing, mixing or measuring. The configuration starts from your procedure, not the other way around.

Configuration

Different applications.
Capacities to fit your needs.

Three example configurations that show the scope of the SP2000 family. Each one serves a different procedure.

18–144

BOD bottles

Biochemical oxygen demand

Automate tasks such as dispensing, mixing, bottle de-capping and dissolved oxygen measurement, depending on the configuration.

48–288

tubes per Test Kit batch

Analysis with photometric test kits

Integrate tube handling, reagents, heating and reading. The platform can work with test kits and photometers from various suppliers.

Up to576

50 ml containers for soil pH

From extraction to measurement

The soil configuration can add the extractant, stir, wait for a predefined time and measure pH.

These capacities belong to different configurations; they are not combined features of a single instrument, nor samples analyzed per hour.

Technology

From repetitive tasks
to an organized sequence.

These examples show different possibilities of the SP2000 family, not a single configuration.

01 / Preparation

Samples in an SP2000 COD configuration

01PreparationArrange the samples.

Define the containers and the operations you want to automate. For COD by titration, racks with samples that are already digested are placed on the robot to continue the procedure.

02HandlingRepeatable operations.

Depending on the configuration, the robot can dispense, mix and handle containers. This links repetitive tasks into a single sequence.

03AnalysisInstrumentation by application.

Measurement is integrated to suit your method: for example, titration or photometric reading. The image shows a Test Kit configuration.

04MonitoringSee how the run is progressing.

RoboticAccess lets you schedule the start, follow results in real time and add priority samples during the run. It includes quality control features and export to Excel or LIMS. The photo shows a Test Kit configuration.

Applications

What would you like
to automate?

Search for your application to see the starting point. We can also review a procedure specific to your lab.

  • BOD — Biochemical oxygen demand
  • COD — Chemical oxygen demand
  • pH and conductivity
  • Alkalinity and titrations
  • Turbidity and color
  • Soil pH
  • Clay fraction
  • Sample preparation
  • Automatic weighing
  • Bitterness and other parameters in beer and wort
  • Ion-selective electrode measurements

Share your current steps, the containers and the number of samples. With that information we evaluate the scope of the automation.

Frequently asked questions

Before you choose
your SP2000.

The video shows the Test Kit configuration, which differs from the COD-by-titration system in the main image.

Does a single SP2000 run all these applications?

No. SP2000 is a family of platforms configured by application. The main image shows a system for COD by titration; other tasks need a different layout.

Can I automate just part of the procedure?

Yes. We can review preparation steps, analysis steps or both. What matters is defining which work the system will do and which tasks will stay outside it.

Can applications be combined?

In certain configurations, yes. The containers, operations and timing need to be reviewed to confirm a workable combination.

How do we start evaluating my lab?

Walk us through your procedure step by step, which containers you use and how many samples you process. We also want to know where most of the manual work is today.
