SEAL Analytical will use WWEM 2016 to launch a new range of digestion blocks that it expects to “sell like hot cakes.” The new ‘SmartBlock II’ range and their sample vials are all manufactured by SEAL under the Thomas Cain brand.

“This is important,” says SEAL President Stuart Smith. “By manufacturing the consumables we can guarantee their quality. The vials undergo rigorous testing to ensure that they are free from any contamination, and they are fully compatible with the SmartBlock II range, so they are ideal for metals analysis.”

With a new sleek design and a range that includes 36, 60 and 96 position blocks for 100ml, 50ml and 15ml vials, Stuart says the SmartBlock II instruments are also priced very competitively.

Visitors to the SEAL stand will also be able to view the company’s latest automated discrete analyzer, the AQ400, which provides fast, high-throughput analysis with improved reproducibility and greater flexibility. The AQ400 has all the advantages of discrete analysis which includes auto-standard preparation, auto-dilution, automatic method changeover and low reagent consumption. Regulatory approved applications (EPA, ISO) include nutrients such as nitrate, nitrite, ammonia, phosphate, Chromium VI, TKN, TP etc. in water, wastewater, soils, extracts and digests.
