Wastewater Analysis -Recommended Instruments

Both Discrete and Continuous Segmented Flow Analyzers can be used for wastewater analysis. The best instrument for the chemical analysis of water will depend on your daily and weekly sample throughput, space, number of analyses, automation level required and detection limits required. By selecting a wastewater analyzer designed and manufactured by SEAL Analytical you're choosing an analyzer designed specifically for environmental laboratories and supported by over 50 years experience. All our analyzers offer USEPA, AOAC and ISO compatible methods. Please contact us to discuss your situation.


AutoAnalyzer 3 HR (AA3 HR)	QuAAtro	AQ400 Discrete Analyzer

Continuous Segmented Flow Analyzers

For laboratories in wastewater treatment plants, private testing laboratories, or research facilities, when you automate your wet chemistry analysis you bring a previously unattainable level of sensitivity, speed and precision to your wastewater analysis. All analyzers are supplied with detailed method descriptions, including reagent make up, flow diagrams, and specific application notes.

Available Models

AutoAnalyzer 100 (AA100)- Ideal for laboratories running 1 or 2 dedicated chemistries. Compact analyzer.
AutoAnalyzer 3 HR (AA3 HR)- Up to 100 samples/ hour. Future proof modular design.
QuAAtro - A microflow analyzer ideal for high throughput & ultra low detection limits.

Wastewater Analysis Methods

SEAL has an extensive library of over 1000 methods for the automated chemical analysis of water.
USEPA, AOAC and ISO compatible methods available.
USEPA methodologies for automated colorimetric analysis reference the Technicon AutoAnalyzer II (this model has been replaced by the AutoAnalyzer 3)
Each method is multi-range, giving the ability to set up your desired range.
Dialyzers are sometimes used to stop any color interference and/or dilution
Methods used with older AutoAnalyzer II and TrAAcs systems are completely transferrable to current model AutoAnalyzers.

The Multitest Manifold Advantage

Multitest manifolds will allow you to analyze a large number of different parameters on a single channel AutoAnalyzer.
Multitest manifolds extend any size AutoAnalyzer to a multiple channel analyzer.
Lowers your purchase and maintenance costs, saves space.
When changing from one test to another only the reagents & the colorimeter filter needs to be changed, saving time as well.

Discrete Analyzers

These compact nutrient analyzers are ideal for wastewater analysis with a large library of methods specifically for environmental analysis and including analytes important in wastewater.

Discrete Analyser Models

AQ1 Discrete Analyzer- Up to 60 tests/hour. Up to 7 tests on a single sample. Compact bench-top analyzer.
AQ2 Discrete Analyzer- Up to 180 tests/hour. Up to 7 tests on a single sample. Compact bench-top analyzer.
AQ400 Discrete Analyzer- High capacity analyzer. Up to 216 tests in one run. 20 cooled reagents, 6 non-cooled. Up to 30% lower detection limits

Nutrient Analyzer Methods

Over 30 methods specifically for the environmental market
Our stated detection limits will be achieved by typical laboratories. Many users exceed these detection limits.
We have individual letters of USEPA approval for our SEAL AQ2 & AQ1 methods confirming our methods are acceptable for wastewater (NPDES) compliance monitoring. Contact SEAL Analytical for copies of our individual approval letters.
SEAL UKAS Methods are Equivalent to “UK Blue Book”
UKAS methods applied to the AQ2 AQ1 & AQUA 900 Discrete Analyser are traceable to methods published in the series “Methods for the Examination of Waters and Associated Materials”, produced by the Standing Committee of Analysts in the UK. The methods are acceptable for both drinking water and wastewaters according to criteria set by the UKAS (United Kingdom Accreditation Service) and the DWI (Drinking Water Inspectorate).
