Product Details

The '80 plus' electronic carousel autosampler is an instrument that performs well with most types of chemical analyser in the modern laboratory.

Flexibility and reliability are the principles behind the sampler design. The sampler is micro-processor based and all electronic functions are achieved via the instrument keyboard or computer (optional). Sequence prompts during programming and sampling are indicated on a liquid crystal display. The various parameters include sample and wash times, numbers of samples set, and 'start' and 'end' cup/tube positions.

The processor has battery-backed memory into which details of the sample table and cup/tube sizes can be stored. The ‘80 plus' tables accept a range of cup/tube sizes. Samples can be processed using the single, double or triple rows provided, and are programmable from the keyboard.

The sampler can be interfaced with the Burkard Microstream Data Processor allowing full automatic control. Connected to the Microstream and with the Random Access option, samples can be taken from a cup/tube in any position. This is ideal for re-analysis of samples and for placing calibration material in large sample pots in reserved areas of the sample table.

The sampler may be interfaced with any system such as the Burkard SFA2000, FIA2000 and SIA2000 Automatic Analysers. The '80 plus' electronic autosampler is the ultimate in simple operation and represents a significant advance.

Sampling flexibility

The standard sampling capacity is 80 positions in two annular rings of 40. Other table arrangements are available including 100 positions providing 80 unknowns with a third annular ring allowing 20 additional positions for standards, drift controls, and blanks or 8 x 35ml cups.

10ml is the maximum cup/tube capacity of the standard tray and each is numbered alternately for quick loading and interchange. The standard tray can hold 0.5ml, 2ml or 4ml cups/tubes. Alternative tray options are also offered.

The batch may be increased during the run with the addition of more samples without interrupting the programme, a convenience facility that is available with the computer link or keypad.

Position 1 in the sampling cup line is selected by a home key and sensor which return the table rapidly and smoothly to the start position on completion of a run or whenever required by the operator.

The programme also allows the operator to select both the start and finish cup numbers, to abort a run at any time via the keyboard or computer, or to set a plateau.

Dual sampling option

Two probes mounted on the sampling arm permit dual sampling. The probes are adjustable for height within the probe arm collet and the maximum total movement of the probe spindle can be pre-programmed to allow for sampling from deeper cups or test-tubes.

Wash reservoir options

The integrated wash reservoir is now offered as standard with the static wash reservoir option offered for dual sampling applications.

Safety

The '80 plus' electronic autosampler has been designed for safety. In case of any accidental loss of liquid a plastic spillage tray located beneath the sample cups/tubes seals off the electronic circuitry and a waste pipe passes the liquid out to the rear of the instrument.
