In environmental laboratories, efficiency is key. Analysts are often tasked with running large volumes of samples while ensuring accuracy and compliance with industry standards. The BLUVISION® discrete analyzer by Skalar is designed to maximize productivity, offering an impressive 7-hour walk-away time, allowing labs to operate more efficiently without constant supervision.
What is Walk-Away Time and Why Does it Matter?
Walk-away time refers to the period during which an instrument can run unattended without user intervention. A long walk-away time means that analysts can focus on other important tasks while the analyzer continues to process samples. This is crucial for environmental labs where time is valuable and workloads are demanding.
High-Capacity Sample and Reagent Handling
The BLUVISION® is built for continuous operation, featuring:
-
A sample/reagent disk with a capacity of 100 samples
-
Enough cuvettes for up to 640 tests per sequence
-
Automated level sensing and alerts for consumable refills
With these features, the analyzer can run long sequences without requiring frequent manual input, ensuring a seamless workflow.
Intelligent Event Handling for Seamless Operation
The DiscreteAccess V2 software within BLUVISION® enhances efficiency by providing smart automation features, including:
-
Method switching for handling multiple analyses in one run
-
Auto-dilution for efficient sample processing
-
Flagging system to highlight results that need attention
These features minimize interruptions and maximize throughput, allowing laboratories to maintain high sample loads without sacrificing accuracy.
Reduce Downtime and Boost Productivity
With extended walk-away time, environmental labs benefit from:
-
Higher throughput: More samples processed per shift
-
Lower labor costs: Less manual supervision needed
-
Improved workflow efficiency: Analysts can focus on data analysis and reporting instead of constant instrument monitoring
