SmartChem® 200 Wet Chemistry Analyzer
Multi-Parametric Analysis of 200 Samples per Hour
The AMS Alliance SmartChem® 200 Discrete Analyzer is a fully automated wet chemistry direct read, platform for photometric and electrochemical analysis. It offers a throughput of up to 200 tests per hour with optional pH/Conductivity/ORP analytical and Nitrate sample preparation modules.
It is equipped with 5 universal separate racks for loading of samples, controls and calibrators, allowing up to 126 positions and 16 different reagents to be loaded.
The instrument is supplied with a set of 12 wavelength filters, ranging from 340 - 880 nm, allowing 9 to be mounted on board simultaneously. This allows for visible spectrum photometry. Photometric analysis can be paired with a pH/Conductivity/ORP testing via built-in module.
In addition, The SmartChem® 200 can be equipped with a reagent cooler system and a unique onboard, regeneration capable preparatory Nitrate Cd reduction module and a bar code reader for sample loading.

How it Works
A True Discrete, Direct Read Measurement System
The SmartChem® 200 uses direct read photometry, utilizing a true discrete, direct read measurement system and reusable, high-purity optical cuvettes, eliminating compromised sample measurement.
SmartChem® simplifies your laboratory's work in a short series of steps:
- Load samples and reagents in your SmartChem®
- Set up your test
- Load your work program in the SmartChem® software
- Launch your programmed routine
- Get the results
Additionally, SmartChem® cuvettes are being washed after each use, making them available for the next reaction/measurement and reducing your dependence on consumables and their availability.
Analytical Module
To start, select one or both of these options:
- NO₃
- pH/Cond/ORP
Then add the desired option:
- Reagent Cooler
- Barcode Reader

Software
The SmartChem® 200 software allows the user to enjoy a graphical interface fully replicating the instrument as seen by the operator and makes all procedures easy.

System Monitor
Loading samples, reagents, controls and calibrators is done using an exact digital replica of the instrument’s panel and this allows the operator to immediately recognize all required steps.
Reagents’ levels, cuvette status and other checks are displayed in the System Monitor Screen.

Workplan Setup
After having loaded all required reagents, controls, calibrators and samples, the operator is prompted to set-up the work plan, including any required IF-THEN testing as per method or laboratory requirements.

Calibration Curve
Calibration can be run automatically from the SmartChem® 200 software and it uses only a concentrated standard, because the analyzer will make the relevant dilutions as defined by the standard points in the calibration.

Levey-Jennings QC Graph
For laboratories using control samples, the SmartChem® 200 software includes Levey-Jennings QC Graphs that allow the laboratory to see not only the validity of the analytical series run, but also to see any potential trends in the QC samples that may indicate a need to undertake preventive actions well before any issues may arise.
