The Industry

Oil Analysis

Our focus is on fully automating oil testing laboratories to streamline processes and improve efficiency. We have developed an automatic packaging solution for labelling and shipping sample bottles to clients. Across our diverse range of partners, we have successfully implemented a variety of solutions, including:

  • Automated sample receipt systems that retrieve and unpack samples received from clients in postage carriers and register these within LIMS for automated processing.
  • Automated sample preparation and analysis systems, including combinations of PQ, crackle testing, particle counting, viscometry, FTIR, mass dilution for ICP, sample preparation for GC, Acid Number, Base number and Karl Fisher.
  • An automated solution for disposing of used test tubes and other plastic waste.

With potential to implement any brand of analytical instrument into a system the decision truly lies with you. Contact us to be part of these exciting new developments.

Environmental Laboratories

Over the years we have developed many bespoke automated solutions for environmental testing laboratories. We have solutions for water testing and soil testing. Our solutions can be tailored for small to large volume laboratories.
