EnglishWhich industries and applications does Skalar laboratory automation serve?
Updated
Skalar serves laboratories in environmental, pharmaceutical, chemical, agricultural, detergent, and food & beverage sectors, with a focus on automating routine analyses such as water, soil, and nutrient testing. If your lab runs repetitive colorimetric or discrete testing in one of these fields, Skalar's analyzer range is designed for that work; if your needs fall outside these areas, the site's industry and application pages are the place to confirm a match before contacting the company.
Industries covered
Skalar, a Dutch manufacturer established in 1965, builds automated laboratory analyzers for the following markets:
| Industry | Typical focus |
|---|---|
| Environmental | Water, soil, and nutrient testing |
| Pharmaceutical | Routine automated analysis |
| Chemical | Industrial and process laboratory analysis |
| Agricultural | Soil and nutrient testing |
| Detergent | Routine laboratory analysis |
| Food & beverage | Routine laboratory analysis |
The company describes its industrial analyzers as reliable and economical solutions for automation in modern routine laboratories, and notes worldwide sales, support, and distribution through subsidiaries in most European countries, North America, and India, plus over eighty representatives globally.
Applications and product lines
Skalar's automation centers on routine analyses—water, soil, and nutrient testing are named explicitly—using colorimetric and discrete analysis technologies. Two product families are highlighted on the site:
- SAN++® Series — continuous flow analyzers offered in Compact, Classic, and Advanced models, providing fully automatic and accurate colorimetric analysis.
- BLUVISION® — a discrete analyzer line; Skalar publishes an eBook introducing discrete analysis and the analyzer's contamination-free, flexible testing for water, soil, and environmental applications.
Skalar also addresses labs running other platforms: a dedicated page covers FIA or Lachat replacement, useful if you are considering migrating existing methods.
Finding the right analyzer for your lab
The site provides two routes to narrow down a fit:
- Analyzer selector — choose your application and parameter, or select a technology, and the selector returns matching analyzers automatically.
- Industry pages — browse by your own field, application, or expertise to find the relevant automation solution.
For questions or further information, Skalar directs visitors to its contact page and inquiry form. The company states that application support is a daily focus for both existing and potential users, so method-specific questions are reasonable to raise before purchase.
When Skalar is likely—and unlikely—to fit
Skalar is a reasonable starting point if you run high-throughput routine chemistry in the industries above and want automated colorimetric or discrete analysis. If your work is outside these sectors, or you need a technology not represented in the SAN++ or BLUVISION lines, verify against the analyzer selector and industry pages first. Current pricing and purchasing terms are not stated on the pages reviewed here, so treat cost and access details as something to confirm directly with Skalar.
