Digital assistance automation in drinking water analysis

SmartAQAlab offers the first end-to-end digital solution for drinking water analysis, in which both biological and chemical indicator parameters are recorded and made available centrally in the LIMS together with all relevant metadata.

Laboratory staff are not replaced by a fully automated system, but are guided through all stages of the analysis by a consistently digitized, machine-supported process control system (assistance automation). The result: precise, consistent, and resource-saving workflows.

Thanks to its modular hardware and software architecture, the system can be flexibly adapted to the individual requirements of different laboratories—both in terms of functionality and sample throughput.

In the area of biological parameter determination, the selected process design enables largely automated execution. This significantly reduces the use of single-use products, lowers costs, and at the same time makes a significant contribution to sustainability.

The chemical parameters are determined using flow injection analysis (FIA) with an integrated autosampler. This method ensures reliable handling and automated sample transfer. New FIA methods in combination with an IoT-based software structure guarantee maximum efficiency, transparency, and future-proofing.

Products

Integris LIMS

iLIMS is a highly efficient and innovative Laboratory Information Management System with seamless integration into existing IT ecosystems. Preconfigured industry solutions reduce implementation time, while extensive configuration options allow laboratories to adapt workflows individually without programming. In combination with the laboratory device server iCONTROL, iLIMS forms a comprehensive Laboratory Execution System (LES). iCONTROL automates data transfer and integrates new and legacy instruments via file-based connections, standard communication protocols (TCP/IP, MQTT, REST), and laboratory standards such as SiLA 2 and LADS. Web-based dashboards enable real-time monitoring, remote access, and secure partner integration - improving efficiency, transparency, and data quality across the entire laboratory.

MLE

The FIA system serves the purpose of automated photometric determination of ions in aqueous solutions, food extracts and soil eluates. Based on standardized determination methods, it was developed for use in laboratories for water and environmental analysis. The technology of flow injection analysis (FIA) enables accurate sample examination with short analysis and start-up times.

The flexible instrumentation of FIA Nexus and FIA Sampler allows customized system configurations for the respective analysis tasks. The compatibility of FIA Nexus with its predecessors FIAmodula and FIAcompact guarantees the easy extension of existing systems.
