Hardware
The BLUVISION® Discrete Analyzer offers fully automated, unattended operation, minimizes manual interventions, and enhances laboratory efficiency. Its advanced system handles every step of the colorimetric analysis process, including:
-> Automatic pipetting of samples and reagents into cuvettes
-> Precise mixing and controlled heating for optimal reaction conditions
-> Integrated blank correction for accurate measurements
-> High-resolution photometric detection for reliable results
Key features:
The BLUVISION® Discrete Analyzer is designed for high-throughput water analysis and offers 100 sample positions on 5 racks, each capable of holding 20 samples. This flexible configuration allows for sample volumes from 3.5 to 10 ml and ensures versatility for various applications.
For reagents, stock solutions, and quality controls (QCs), the analyzer offers:
✅ 24 reagent positions (50 ml capacity)
✅ 8 reagent positions (10 ml capacity)
To ensure the integrity of samples and reagents, the racks can be actively cooled during the analysis process, ensuring stable conditions and reliable results.
The BLUVISION® Discrete Analyzer is designed for high-throughput, fully automated water analysis and features a 160-position cuvette tray with continuous sample loading for maximum efficiency.
✅ Autoloader System – Automatically loads cuvette blocks, allowing up to 640 consecutive tests without operator intervention
✅ 7-hour walk-away time – Enables unattended operation and maximizes productivity in the laboratory
✅ Temperature-controlled cuvette tray – Ensures stable reaction conditions for highly precise colorimetric analyses
✅ Continuous sample loading – New samples can be added during a run, avoiding downtime
With long walk-away times and seamless automation, the BLUVISION® is ideal for environmental, wastewater, and drinking water laboratories that require efficient, highly precise nutrient analyses.
The instrument uses a needle to dispense samples and reagents into the cuvettes. The needle can preheat the samples and reagents before dispensing. A durable and highly precise pump is used for sample and reagent pipetting.
The cuvette blocks are disposable items, which prevents any transfer between tests. Used cuvette blocks are automatically stored in a waste container for safe disposal after analysis. The BLUVISION® has a separate waste container for toxic reagents, which can be selected depending on the method.
Nitrogen overpressure/exhaust system to maintain stability in processes with low ammonia content.
The detector of the BLUVISION® analyzer is equipped with a halogen light source and a filter wheel that contains 8 filters with different wavelengths. The BLUVISION® is therefore capable of processing more than 8 different parameters in one pass without operator intervention. The filters can be easily exchanged for different parameters.
The cuvette has an optical path length of 15 mm, which allows for accurate detection in the low ppb range. The cuvette blocks are disposable, eliminating any transfer between tests.
Software
The BLUVISION® discrete analyzer is fully controlled via a touchscreen display and a user-friendly, multitasking software package, DiscreteAccess,.
Touchscreen
The integrated touchscreen display provides all relevant instrument information, such as the status of the analyzer, real-time monitoring of reagent levels and remaining test capacity, as well as the temperatures of the cuvette and sample carriers. In addition, a range of tasks can also be performed from this display, such as loading cuvette blocks, changing filters, etc.
- Real-time monitoring of reagent levels and remaining test capacity
- Temperature settings of the cuvette and sample carriers.
- Filter change
- Adding reagents, samples & cuvette blocks
DiscreetAccess
For conducting the analysis, data collection, and calculation, the analyzer uses a comprehensive software package, DiscreteAccess, which meets all current laboratory requirements. A user-friendly interface allows the operator to start the analyzer within seconds. Each analysis run can be set up in batch or random access mode.
- Easy input of sample data or upload from LIMS
- Predefined application files for nitrite, nitrate, alkalinity, etc.
- User-defined application files can be integrated
- Automatic preparation of calibration standards
- Optimization of sample sequence
- Automatic pre- and post-dilutions
- Automatic intelligent range selection
- Customizable reports
- Result output in txt, Excel file, or LIMS
