About Skalar
Skalar is a Dutch manufacturer of laboratory automation solutions, founded in 1965 as a producer of analyzers for the laboratory and process industries. The company manufactures a broad range of automated analysis systems: continuous flow analyzers (SAN++® Series), discrete analyzers (BLUVISION®), TOC/TN analyzers (FORMACS™ Series), DUMAS carbon/nitrogen solid analyzers (PRIMACS™ Series), robotic analyzers (SP2000 Series), automated solid phase extraction systems (SPE-03, Presto) as well as protein purification systems (LUMERA™). The systems automate colorimetric determinations, sample preparation, digestion, titrations and ISE applications and process from a few hundred to hundreds of thousands of samples per year, depending on laboratory size. Fields of application include environmental and water analysis, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, detergents, food & beverage, wine, beer and malt, soil, plant and fertilizer, and tobacco. The headquarters in Breda covers the entire production process from research and development through production, laboratory, application laboratory and testing to sales and warehousing. In addition, Skalar maintains its own subsidiaries in Europe, North America and India as well as a network of more than eighty representatives worldwide.
