Tobacco analysis
To be able to maintain the high industry standards, Skalar’s analyzers are able to test the raw tobacco materials to insure the quality of the finished product.
QUALITY ASSURED
The well proven Skalar automated tobacco analyzer has been in use for many years in the tobacco industry, and is designed to comply with standard methodologies such as Coresta and ISO. The automated analysis achieves better response times, less operator intervention and an increased accuracy in the results
ACCURATE RESULTS
The ability of the analyzers to give accurate results time after time is what most laboratories regard as the deciding factor before purchasing a system. Skalar has worked with several tobacco laboratories to achieve proven, rapid, accurate and reliable results. The well proven automated analytical methods are based on international standards as specified by International Standard Organisation (ISO), Coresta, etc
TIME EFFICIENT
All Skalar analyzers not only automate routine methods, but wherever possible the actual analysis time involved is reduced. This enables operators to increase throughput and thus increase the overall capacity of the laboratory. Short response times to detect changes in production are important for a better control of the process
COST EFFECTIVE
The tobacco analyzers have proven to be robust workhorses for tobacco laboratories. The low operational costs simplify the choice to automate applications, bearing in mind an increase in speed and reliability. In addition, less waste per sample analyses is produced compared to the traditional manual method.
