Syrris, a Royston, UK-based chemistry automation product innovator, has added the Atlas Autosampler Module and Autosampler Probe to the Atlas family of high-performance automated systems for research and development chemistry.
By connecting to one of the Atlas Syringe Pump valves, the module and probe operate in combination to aspirate up to six samples from the reactor at user-defined intervals. This allows automated dosing to a reactor from one syringe while taking six samples using the other syringe, or simply taking 12 samples.
The Autosampler Module holds six 2ml HPLC vials and can be mounted on the provided support rods. The Syringe Pump with six-port selection valve is then able sequentially to aspirate samples from the reactor into the vials using the Autosampler Probe.
The Autosampler Probe consists of six polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) pipes encased in a chemically resistant PTFE and glass sheath. It can be placed inside a jacketed reactor lid port, and quickly connected to the Autosampler Module.
The Atlas Syringe Pump consists of two syringes with six port valves and can be configured into either two refilling flows or one continuous flow. A choice of dosing modes allows simple reagent additions or the active control of parameters such as pH and temperature using Atlas sensors.
With the ability to be operated in standalone mode, or controlled via the Atlas base unit or PC software, this versatile instrument allows automated reagent addition or autosampling with data logging.
