High Throughput System

 

Form Object

High throughput system is a robotic system which automates sample preparation steps and rapidly measures 96 samples and standards in a well plate format.

Reduces cost

  • Labor
  • Materials
  • Capital
  • Laboratory space
  • Chemical waste

Features

  • Prepares and analyzes 240 or 400 samples/shift/operator
  • Samples and standards analyzed by fluorescence in a 96 well plate
  • All samples and standards read in the well plate in about 2 minutes
  • Quantification from 0.01µg/sample (wipe or air filter)
  • Suitable for high fired beryllium oxide, beryllium alloys and metal
  • Uses a fraction of dissolution solution allowing verification
