MiniLab For Soil Samples

Analyzing soil quality is important for maximizing crop yield in agricultural applications and for assessment of interferences in natural terrestrial ecosystems. The MiniLab offers consistent automation solutions for various steps in soil sample pre-treatment and analysis. The MiniLab boasts quick setup, precision robotics, true flexibility and reliablility for the automated analysis & pre-treatment of soil samples. Transform your laboratory and boost your productivity!

pH in Soil

For pH measurement in soil, the MiniLab will dispense requested volumes of extractant into the vial, stir and leave for a designated time. The MiniLab will automatically calibrate from your provided set of standards and then test the soil samples along with quality checks as set-up in the software. As with all MiniLab systems, additional parameters can be added, and system size can vary depending on your laboratories’ needs. 

Soil analysis automation can include:

  • pH probe calibration
  • Addition of extraction solution
  • Stirring
  • pH measurement

Particle Size Distribution/ Clay Fraction

The SEAL MiniLab is also perfectly suited to performing the clay fraction procedure. The system adds the sodium pyrophosphate to the sample and adds distilled water to bring the suspension to volume. The sample is then homogenized. After the settling period, an aliquot of the suspension is taken at the appropriate depth and dispensed into an evaporation dish. The clay fraction is calculated after evaporation (drying) of the sample trays. Suitable for ISO procedure ISO 11277.

Automation Includes:

  • Addition of sodium pyrophosphate 
  • Fill to volume water addition 
  • Sample homogenization
  • Sample pipetting 
  • Sample drying 
  • Calculation
