MiniLab Multiparameter

Fully automates sample preparation and analysis for pH, conductivity, color, alkalinity, and/or turbidity.

MiniLab Multiparameter

Product Overview

The MiniLab Multiparameter Robot fully automates sample preparation and analysis for pH, conductivity, color, alkalinity, and/or turbidity. It can be customized to include parameters and processes tailored to your lab's specific needs. SEAL robotics series offers a wide range of platform sizes, sample racks, and automation options, ensuring a solution is available for laboratories of all sizes. Combining the analysis of multiple parameters into a single benchtop robot, the MiniLab MultiParameter series eliminates the need for multiple analyzers, saving labs’ space, time and money. 

The MiniLab’s precise and robust robotic components designed and manufactured by our engineers at SEAL Analytical Netherlands efficiently mimic traditional manual methods and handle preparation steps such as pH testing and adjustment, dilution, or filtering. Simply add samples to the system, click start, and walk away. 

Available in a variety of footprint sizes to suit your space and capacity.

MiniLab MultiParameter Steps

Step 1

Samples are placed on MiniLab platform

An analyst loads the sample racks with the vials, tubes, or containers containing the samples to be analyzed.

Step 2

Worklist created in MiniLab Software

Using SEAL's MiniLab software, the analyst assigns positions and enters sample data and desired parameters into the software, or imports a work list from the LIMS.

Alternatively, the MiniLab can create work tables automatically using onboard barcode scanning.

Step 3

System startup and initial cleaning

Upon startup, the system will automatically perform a flushing routine to clean the lines, rinse stations, and apparatuses, ensuring there are no contaminants that could affect the measurements.

Step 4

Calibration (if needed)

If needed, the system automatically calibrates using a set of provided standards. Calibration details are displayed in the software for review by the analyst.

Step 5

Analysis begins

Sample preparation and measurements take place using the desired probes, meters, and apparatuses. 

Step 6

Data exported to LIMS

Once the measurements are completed, results are automatically recorded and stored in a table format within the software, allowing for easy access and analysis of the data.  Data is exported to LIMS for further analysis and record keeping if desired.

Frequently Asked Questions

Below, we’ve listed a few frequently asked questions that will help you better understand our MiniLab Series. If you don’t find the answer you're looking for, please don't hesitate to contact our support team for further assistance.

Can information be exchanged with LIMS?

Yes, the MiniLab software includes seamless import functionality from LIMS. You can create an import file in LIMS to transfer specific data into the MiniLab software. The data fields to be imported can be defined via Settings > Import Settings

The MiniLab software also includes data export functionality to transfer data and results back to LIMS. Use the Export Settings to define the format of the export file.

Which tests can be performed with the MiniLab Multiparameter robot?

You can perform all the following tests with SEAL's MiniLab Multiparameter: 

  • pH
  • Electrical Conductivity (EC)
  • Turbidity
  • Alkalinity
  • Color measurements (Hazen/APHA)
  • Fluoride

Additional tests are also available. Ask a SEAL representative in your region for more information.

Can the MiniLab Multiparameter perform simultaneous measurements?

Yes, a SEAL multiparameter robot can perform multiple measurements simultaneously.

While pH & EC are measured with probes, the MiniLab will transfer the sample to the turbidity meter, spectrophotometer or titrator to measure all other parameters simultaneously.

How do you automate turbidity measurements?

With SEAL's innovative design, we make it possible to integrate automation with standard turbidity meters.
