High-Throughput Automated Sample Introduction Systems
The FAST Automation Systems maximize the productivity of the ICP and ICPMS by optimizing and utilizing ALL the non-productive steps in a sample acquisition.
SampleSense (Patent Pending) is a revolutionary valve for FAST and prepFAST systems that uses optical sensors to automatically sense and inject samples into ICPMS instruments. It eliminates method timing parameters and optimizes loading conditions for each sample matrix.
Eliminates method timing parameters
Optimizes loading conditions for each sample matrix
Automatically loads loop with samples of varying viscosities
Reduces sample consumption
Actively detects and reports sample loading issues
Clinical laboratories can analyze hundreds or even thousands of samples per day. For this level of volume to be achieved, high-throughput methods with instrumentation capable of handling this extreme sample load must be maintained to provide fast, reliable, and accurate results. ESI offers the SampleSense Clinical system, which is an extremely fast sample-to-sample solution for ICP and ICPMS without compromising reliability or accuracy.
Integrated optical sensors to automatically load, detect, and inject samples
Automatically triggers the instrument data acquisition
Ensures sample loading integrity by logging any potential failed sample loading events
SampleSense Soil uses an inert injection valve with built-in optical sensors that automatically detect the liquid sample, inject the valve and trigger the ICP read in a tightly-timed analytical sequence. This ultra high-throughput system eliminates wasted time from the ICP method and can double or even triple sample throughput while recording missing or empty tubes.
10 samples per minute Mehlich-3-ICP
Automatic sensing, injection, and triggering of the ICP analytical read
Detection and reporting of missing or empty sample tubes as “unsensed” samples
Adding SampleSense FAST Soil can double or even triple sample throughput
The FAST system maximizes the productivity of the ICP-OES and ICPMS by optimizing and utilizing ALL of the non-productive steps in a sample acquisition. Utilizing a high flow vacuum pump, 6-port valve and ESI’s software, the FAST is able to rapidly deliver the sample for analysis, saving valuable time. The unique design eliminates sample contact with peristaltic pump tubing, minimizing cross contamination. The peristaltic pump operates at a single, constant speed, further enhancing system stability. The FAST rinses the probe sample lines while the sample is being analyzed, making the FAST a true multi-tasking sample automated system.
