How it Works
An Authentic Discrete, Immediate Reading Measurement System
SmartChem® streamlines your laboratory's operations in a few simple steps:
- Introduce samples and reagents into your SmartChem® system
- Prepare your test
- Upload your task protocol into the SmartChem® software
- Execute your pre-programmed sequence
- Obtain the results.
Moreover, SmartChem® cuvettes are meticulously cleaned after each use, ensuring their readiness for subsequent reactions/measurements and diminishing reliance on consumables and their accessibility.
System Components
The SmartChem® 450 comes equipped with a collection of 12 wavelength filters, covering the range of 340 – 880 nm. Up to 9 filters can be conveniently mounted on board at the same time, enabling visible spectrum photometry. Additionally, photometric analysis can be combined with pH/Conductivity/ORP testing using the built-in module.
Reagents
Ready-to-Use Reagents
We provide an extensive selection of enzymatic and colorimetric reagents designed specifically for our SmartChem® series of discrete analyzers.
These reagents have been meticulously developed, rigorously tested, and validated by our application laboratory to ensure impeccable stability and reproducibility of your analyses.
Simple to utilize, they are in liquid form, packaged in dedicated SmartChem® bottles, and automatically recognized by the barcode reader (if chosen). This all-in-one solution streamlines the analysis preparation process, simplifies reagent use and storage, and ensures the accuracy of your analyses with reagents customized to suit your application and instrument.
Software
The SmartChem® 450 analyser operates entirely via computer using dedicated, intuitive, and user-friendly software. This software is bidirectional LIMS and meets NELAC/EPA or NELAC-EPA compliance standards.
The SmartChem® software streamlines routine tasks, providing operators with complete control over the analyzer. This includes managing onboard reagent stock, samples, controls, calibrators, and monitoring cuvette status in the reaction chamber.
Key features include System Monitor, Workplan Setup, Calibration Curve, Ongoing Analysis, Workplan Results, and Levey-Jennings QC Graph.
- Enhanced Software Functions
- Choose between two user configurations: Advanced View allows full access and interaction with all features in the SmartChem® Pro Software based on privilege settings; Operator View restricts functions to those required for routine tasks.
- Receive in-app troubleshooting support through an extensive media library of help documentation and the ability to generate an error report (System Help File page).
- Features automatic start-up, including calibrations and blanks, as well as automatic shutdown.
- Efficiently manage reagents with barcode auto ID for loading Ready to Use reagents.
- Simplify sample handling with barcode auto ID for automated workflow loading with LIMS.
- Add new samples or methods during a run, utilize the retest key, and access accurate test completion time details.
- Recalculate calibration points, view the last accepted calibration overlay, perform pre-dilution, and create standard curves.
- Control the micro pipettor with a computer interface, ensuring NELAC - EPA compliance.
- Stay informed with real-time updates on sample and reagent statuses and dynamic monitoring of test runs.
