FAQs

  • What is a SmartChem discrete analyser?

    The SmartChem discrete analyser is a fully automated photometric analyser manufactured by AMS Alliance, part of KPM Analytics. It performs high-precision chemical analysis of liquid samples in sectors such as water quality testing, food & beverage testing, and environmental laboratories.

  • How does the SmartChem reduce plastic waste?

    SmartChem discrete analysers are equipped with an integrated cuvette washing system, allowing the use of reusable cuvettes and significantly reducing single-use plastic waste compared to other discrete analysers

  • How accurate and repeatable are SmartChem results?

    SmartChem analysers are built for high-precision laboratory testing and meet the standards of ISO 17025-accredited labs. It features:


    • Automated calibration
    • Blanks and replicates
    • QC sample handling
    • Traceable result storage

    This makes it ideal for compliance-driven water quality testing.


  • How much maintenance is required?

    SmartChem offers low-maintenance operation, including:


    • Automated cuvette washing
    • Reagent monitoring
    • Self-diagnostics and status alerts

    Routine maintenance is minimal and designed for non-technical users, making it a great option for different experience levels of Discrete Analysers

  • What types of samples can SmartChem Discrete Analysers analyse?

    SmartChem is designed for automated chemical analysis of:


    • Drinking water and wastewater
    • Surface water, ground water, and effluents
    • Beverages (e.g., milk, juice, soft drinks, wine, beer)
    • Agricultural samples (e.g., soil extracts, fertilizers)
    • Industrial process water

    This makes it an ideal water testing instrument for environmental labs and food processing facilities.

  • Can SmartChem connect to LIMS or data systems?

    Yes. SmartChem integrates with LIMS (Laboratory Information Management Systems) and supports multiple export formats (CSV, PDF, XML). It’s ideal for labs requiring secure data management and regulatory traceability.
