Eliminating Cross-Contamination: How BLUVISION® Ensures Accuracy

Written by Admin | Mar 27, 2025 9:00:00 AM

In environmental analysis, precision and accuracy are critical. One major challenge laboratories face is cross-contamination, which can compromise sample integrity and lead to inaccurate results. The BLUVISION® discrete analyzer by Skalar is specifically designed to eliminate this risk, ensuring that every test delivers reliable and reproducible data.

The True Definition of Discrete Analysis

The BLUVISION® adheres to the true principle of discrete analysis—each step of the process, including blanking, incubation, and detection, occurs in the same cuvette. This closed-system approach significantly reduces the risk of cross-contamination, ensuring that each sample remains isolated from the next.

Advanced Rinsing and Cleaning Protocols

To further prevent contamination, BLUVISION® features:

  • Extensive rinsing between pick-ups to eliminate residue carryover

  • Cooled storage for samples and reagents to maintain stability and prevent degradation

  • An optional inert gas blanket over the storage disk using the smart exhaust system to reduce exposure to contaminants

Ensuring Accuracy in Environmental Analysis

For environmental laboratories analyzing water quality, soil extracts, or other complex matrices, eliminating cross-contamination is essential for meeting regulatory standards such as ISO-15923, EPA, and DIN guidelines. The cuvette system ensures that even ultra-low concentration analyses remain uncontaminated, producing accurate and repeatable results.

Key Benefits for Environmental Laboratories

  • Consistent, high-quality data with minimal risk of sample carryover

  • Increased confidence in trace-level analysis of nutrients, pollutants, and contaminants

  • Reduced manual intervention, allowing analysts to focus on data interpretation rather than error correction

Future-Proof Your Lab with BLUVISION®

With its contamination-free discrete analysis, advanced rinsing system, and automated sample handling, BLUVISION® sets a new standard for reliability in environmental laboratories. Ensuring clean, precise, and reproducible results is essential—trust BLUVISION® to deliver uncompromised data for your critical analyses
