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.
The SmartChem® 450 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 pH/Conductivity/ORP testing via built-in module.
Available Configurations
The instrument is modular allowing you to configure your analyzer.
Ready-to-Use Reagents
We offer a full range of enzymatic and colorimetric reagents dedicated to our SmartChem® range of discrete analyzers.
Developed, tested and validated by our application laboratory, they guarantee perfect stability and reproducibility of your analyses.
Very easy to use, they are liquid, supplied in specific bottles made for SmartChem®, and automatically detected by the barcode reader (optional). This ready-to-go solution simplifies the preparation of your analysis and facilitates the use and storage of reagents. It also secures your analyses with reagents adapted to your application and your instrument.

The SmartChem® 450 analyzer’s operation is completely computer based with the dedicated, intuitive and user-friendly software. This software is bidirectional LIMS and NELAC/EPA or NELAC-EPA compliant.
SmartChem® software simplifies routine work and allows complete control and operation of the analyzer to the operator controlling the on-board reagent stock, samples, controls and calibrators, plus the status of the cuvettes in the reaction chamber.
System Monitor
SmartChem® 450 software simplifies routine work and allows complete control and operation of the analyzer to the operator controlling the on-board reagent stock, samples, controls and calibrators, plus the status of the cuvettes in the reaction chamber. Users, depending on the privileges defined by the System Administrator, can have access to two different displays: “Operator View” and “Advanced View”.
Calibration Curve
Operators can access calibration status, use curves and historic calibration data, as well as monitor the status of specific tests, reaction curves and other on-going testing data.
Workplan Setup
The operator can easily load reagents and samples using the optional SmartChem® barcode reader and design the work routine for the analyzer to run, defining tests to run per sample, calibrations, and QC controls, etc.
Reflex and re-tests IF-THEN instances can be programmed, allowing specific actions to be automated in case of out-of-range results and/or any instances defined by the testing routine being defined by the laboratory.
Ongoing Analysis
The operator can, at any moment, see the status of each sample, reagent content per bottle and other information during the programmed run, plus enter new reagents and samples while the unit is running an already launched program.
Workplan Results
During and at the end of the routine, the operator can access the tests reports and results.
Levey-Jennings Plots
Quality controls can be evaluated via Levey-Jennings plots and results from the run can also be validated.
In-app Support for Troubleshooting
The “Need help?” section contains a detailed library of content, including video instruction and how-to documentation to solve many common issues that users may encounter. This saves operators time, allowing them to quickly move on with testing and other procedures. The media library is automatically updated upon a new startup if connected to the internet.
Improved Support Communication
A common challenge for support is identifying the root cause of an issue. If a user cannot find a solution among the guides provided by the software, a button at the bottom of the page called, “I can’t find a solution: generate a system help file” is available. Clicking this button opens the System Help File page, allowing the user to generate a snapshot, which includes all the information needed for the support engineer to identify the problem. In addition, it is easy for the operator to also share an event log with a support engineer. These features allow issues to be resolved quicker so that operators can get back to their daily routines
Additional Software Features
- Two available user configurations: Advanced View, allowing the user to see (and depending on privilege settings) interact with all functions available on the SmartChem® Pro Software; and Operator View, limiting the available functions to the ones used for routine work
- In-app support for troubleshooting with an advanced media library of help documentation, and generation of an error report (System Help File page)
