Der AQUATek 100 ist ein Purge & Trap-Autosampler, der die Probenvorbereitungsschritte für die Analyse von flüssigen Proben unter Verwendung einer festen Volumen-Probenschleife automatisiert.
AQUATek 100 Autosampler für wässrige Proben
Zwei unabhängige volumenprogrammierbare interne Standards können zur Probe hinzugefügt werden.
Das gesamte Aliquot wird in den Purge and Trap Konzentrator überführt und die Analyten aufkonzentriert.
Zur Detektion unter Verwendung eines GC / GC-MS-Quantifizierungssystems wird die Probe in das Analysensystem überführt.
Mit dem AQUATEK 100 wurden technische Verbesserungen umgesetzt, wie etwa die Verwendung von neuen inerten Materialien und ein intuitiv bedienbares Ansteuerungsprogramm. Diese Funktionen, kombiniert mit einer größeren Probenfläschchenkapazität und einem höheren Probendurchsatz, bieten dem Kunden die Möglichkeit die Produktionsanforderungen zu erfüllen und gleichzeitig die Betriebskosten gering zu halten.

Hauptmerkmale
100-Position Carousel
The carousel drive is an electronically controlled mechanism that positions sample vials for sampling.
The carousel tray is removable from the drive assembly for easy vial loading.
Robotic Arm
The 2-stage sample needle is positioned by the motion of a two axis robotic arm assembly. This robotic arm moves in & out to position the needle over the sample vials and rinse station, it also moves the needle up & down to allow the needle to puncture the vials. The robotic arm utilizes proven reliable technology where the needle is moved to the vials and the vials remain in the carousel thus eliminating errors associated with XYZ handling.
Sample Needle
A 2-stage sample needle is used to displace sample from the vial to the sample loop.
pH Probe
The pH probe option allows users to measure and record pH values for all samples in a schedule.
Sample Loop
The AQUATek 100 is equipped with a fixed volume PEEK™ sample loop with volume choices of 5, 10, 20 and 25mL. The sample loop is filled with liquid sample from the sample vial via a pressurization step. The loop is connected to two 3-port solenoid valves that allow for the sample volume to be swept to the concentrator for analysis and to allow for cleanup of the loop between samples via hot water rinsing and an inert gas sweep.
Vial Chiller Tray
The vial chiller allows for sample cooling. The chiller requires the use of an external recirculating cooling bath (optional accessory) for operation.
Internal Standards
Internal standards/surrogates are stored in two 15mL amber glass vessels to prevent transmission of UV radiation. Vessels are sealed with a PEEK™ cap to prevent adsorption and contamination of the standard solution. Each standard vessel can deliver volumes of 2, 5, 10, or 20μL to each sample. Each standard injection valve can be used independently or in combination.
Plumbing Access Compartment (PAC)
Slide out compartment allows for easy access to the sample loop and associated plumbing as well as system hardware.
OptiRinse (patented)
The entire liquid pathway can be rinsed using the high temperature OptiRinse (patented) cleaning technique which uses two internal reservoirs to heat blank water to 90°C for rinsing.
Barcode
The AQUATek 100 has the ability to connect to a standard barcode reader in order to scan vial barcodes and automatically have the vial ID number added into the TekLink™ schedule.
Blanking Water Reservoir
Reservoir included with system provides clean-up water and auto-blanking, which frees up vial space in carousel for increased throughput.
