High Throughput System

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
