Product Descriptions and Offerings

Automation and Sample Handling Teledyne CETAC Technologies autosamplers are constantly evolving in response to requests for automation products that vary in size, speed and capabilities. Since 1993, CETAC has produced the industry s highest quality autosamplers to meet the needs of its customers. The underlying technology of our products is continuously evolving to improve our already robust hardware. CETAC delivers automation solutions for any sample size down to the microliter. Our equipment meets various challenges typical in laboratory environments with autodilutors, liquid handling stations, efficiencyincreasing analysis acceleration equipment and anti-contamination enclosures. We also provide tools to facilitate important aspects of sample prep including dilution, mixing, preconcentration, and purification. These specialized products are designed to reduce manual labor in the lab, eliminate error, and increase sample throughput. ASX-560 Series Autosamplers More features and improved performance define the latest generation of Teledyne CETAC autosamplers. The ASX 560 Autosampler Series which includes the ASX 280 compact autosampler and the XLR 860 extended rack autosampler builds upon the reliability of its predecessors which have proven their worth in tens of thousands of laboratories and countless hours of operation. Available accessories include anti-contamination enclosures, the SDXhpld onboard dilution system and the ASXpress Plus sample injection system.

Micro Autosamplers The MVX-7100 µl Workstation allows for sample volumes as low as 5 µl. Syringe driven rinse allows for stable low flow applications with low detection limits. The flow injection system allows for better washout and sensitivity by eliminating pump tubing and minimizing sample contact. The ASX-110FR and ASX 112FR Micro Autosamplers handle small volume samples (<2 ml) and feature a compact size, integrated protective cover and dual flowing rinse station. Ideal for cleanroom environments. Mixing Autosamplers Used oil samples analyzed for wear metals contain particulate matter which settles prior to analysis, leading to unrepeatable results. The ASX 1400 and ASX 1600 Mixing Autosamplers incorporate a simple stirring paddle to mix each sample automatically prior to analysis for more precise results. Identical mixing technology is in place on the APS 1650 Automated Preparation Station for the unattended dilution of oil samples prior to analysis. ASXpress Plus Rapid Sample Introduction System The ASXpress Plus is a simple sample injection accessory that dramatically increases sample throughput to an ICP-AES or ICP-MS. The ASXpress Plus features a metal-free, 6-port injection valve and inert, highspeed vacuum pump to rapidly load a sample loop for introduction to the nebulizer. A simple software interface controls method parameters (such as load time); all system parameters are stored in the dedicated control module.
