Great instrument - essential for seawater analyses.
Application Area: Seawater nutrient analyses
"It is proven to give reliable and reproducible results for seawater nutrient analyses. The new instrument has many improvements over the previous to make it easier to use, including a simpler design to eliminate some of the issues we had in the past."

"I use the instrument for analysis, the most difficult and time consuming part about this instrument is the reagent prep and the fact that it doesn't have a shutdown method once the test is complete. Other than this it works very well."
Modular Design for high flexibility
A one channel SEAL AutoAnalyzer 3 System comprises a Sampler, Pump, Chemical Manifold, Detector and Computer. The system can easily be extended by adding a second Chemical Manifold and a second Detector. The SEAL AutoAnalyzer then becomes a Two Channel System, which measures two different analytes at the same time. Additional Detectors and Manifolds can be added, as required, up to a total of 8 channels.
Dual Range Methods
Most multitest methods are also dual-range; with separate pump tubes for high and low ranges. You can test an extremely wide range of sample concentrations. For example, the AutoAnalyzer 3 method for Nitrate in Seawater can measure up to 8500 ug N/L and has a detection limit of 0.14 ug/L. This same manifold can be used to measure Ammonia and Silicate.
