Automation in drinking water analysis

The path to excellent products begins with the safe handling of valuable raw materials.

In DÜPERTHAL safety cabinets, high-quality flavors are stored fully compliant to regulations. State-of-the-art sensors from DÜPERTHAL connect the monitoring data: temperature, exhaust air function, and door status in accordance with the highest occupational safety requirements. In addition, inventory levels and consumption are documented using DÜPERTHAL connect.

To ensure the highest quality in production, the density of the solvent is determined prior to extraction using a precision instrument from Mettler Toledo. This creates an objective basis for further processing. With the powerful 2mag magnetic stirrer, we ensure optimal and homogeneous mixing of solvent and raw material—fast, efficient, and controlled. To continuously monitor extraction progress, the density is measured again at regular intervals during the process. This guarantees consistently high product Digital assistance automation in drinking water analysis SmartAQAlab offers the first end-to-end digital solution for drinking water analysis, in which both biological and chemical indicator parameters are recorded and made available centrally in the LIMS together with all relevant metadata.Laboratory staff are not replaced by a fully automated system but are guided through all stages of the analysis by a consistently digitized, machine-supported process control system
(assistance automation) – the iLIMS of INTEGRIS LIMS. The result: precise, consistent, and resource-saving workflows.
Thanks to its modular hardware and software architecture, the system can be flexibly adapted to the individual requirements of different laboratories—both in terms of functionality and sample throughput.
In the area of biological parameter determination, the selected process design enables largely automated execution. This significantly reduces the use of single-use products, lowers costs, and at the same time makes a significant contribution to sustainability.
The chemical parameters are determined using MLE’s flow injection analysis (FIA) with an integrated autosampler. This method ensures reliable handling and automated sample transfer. New FIA methods in combination with an IoT-based software structure guarantee maximum efficiency, transparency, and future-proofing.
