Universal Platform for
Analytical Systems

The UPAS System

The new analytical platform UPAS developed by SK-Elektronik GmbH represents the possibility to integrate multiple analytical solutions for your measurement task. Therefore the overall graphical user interface can be adapted to your specific needs and shows several customized options. You are able to integrate your own systems as well as to choose from our analytical portfolio such as the FID or other solutions. Please feel free to contact us for your specific system integration project.
