Continuous Flow Analyzers

Automated segmented flow analyzers for nutrient testing

SEAL Analytical’s Segmented Flow Analyzers, a category of Continuous Flow Analyzers (CFA), set the standard for high-throughput, reproducible nutrient analysis with the lowest detection limits available. Designed for maximum flexibility and precision, these systems can automate the simultaneous analysis of colorimetric methods from system start-up to shut-down, enabling true walk-away operation. From water and wastewater analysis to applications in fertilizer, soil, plants, tobacco, wine, and industrial testing, our analyzers are trusted worldwide for their performance and reliability. 

Descended from the Technicon AutoAnalyzer, the world's first continuous flow analyzer, our systems utilize Segmented Flow Analysis (SFA) to bring colorimetric reactions to full color development, allowing for maximum sensitivity and accuracy. Segmented flow analysis offers a variety of benefits, including full colorimetric reaction, decreased carryover, and a visual flow of liquid movement through the system.

Benefits of SEAL’s continuous flow analyzers

High-throughput nutrient testing with automated continuous flow analyzers

SEAL analyzers reduce manual operation with features like automatic startup/shutdown and multi-test manifolds.

• Customizable programs allow for flexibility in start-up and shut-down automation depending on methods to be run.
• Safe, fully unattended shutdown is possible with the use of reagent valves, automated pump platen, and other software-controlled components on systems like the AA500.
• Multi-test manifolds streamline method switching with just the change of the LED light source - no cartridge changes or other hardware adjustments necessary!

In-line sample pretreatment for segmented flow analyzers: Gas Diffusion, UV Digestion & more

SEAL segmented flow analyzers can include inline sample prep and pretreatment options such as distillation, digestion, dialysis, and dilution; essential for nutrient testing in complex matrices like wastewater or tobacco extracts. Eliminate distillation entirely for analyses such as ammonia and cyanide with inline gas diffusion options for further streamlined analysis.

Modular continuous flow analyzers built for any lab workload

Whether your lab runs several tests on hundreds of samples per day or focuses on precise single-parameter analysis, SEAL analyzers offer various configurations, modules, and detectors to match your exact needs.
