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.
Syringe-driven Sample Introduction from Capped Vials
FASTFluidic GTX combines ESI’s next-generation GTX autosampler with syringe-driven FASTFluidic liquid handling to automate microvolume sample prep and analysis – requiring as low as 1 µL of original sample volume.
Extend Analyses: Syringe-driven sample intro provides stable signal at flow rates as low as 10 µL per min
Minimize Sample Consumption: As low as 1 µL required for analysis, minimize evaporation with uncapping
Improve Data Quality: Prevent contamination with automated uncapping
Reduce Re-runs: Caused by evaporation, contamination, poor mixing, and manual sample identification errors
FASTFluidic FilterProbe automates syringe-driven backflushing of the sample flowpath to clear particulates during analysis, preventing clogs, improving rinse-out, and enabling ultra high-throughput performance for Soil and Oil ICP/ICPMS workflows. Utilizing FilterProbe and RidingRinse technology, FASTFluidic FilterProbe reduces maintenance, minimizes sample consumption, and keeps your lab running at maximum throughput with minimal downtime.
FilterProbe prevents particulates from entering the sample flowpath, reducing valve and nebulizer maintenance
Improved rinse out between samples (>500x)
High-throughput with 3 second integration time
Eliminate autosampler translation time by moving RidingRinse with autosampler arm
SampleSense (Patent Pending) is an optical sensor–based valve for FAST and prepFAST systems that automatically senses and injects samples into ICPMS instruments, eliminating method timing parameters and optimizing loading for each matrix. It supports high-throughput ICP and ICPMS workflows in clinical, in‑service oil, and other laboratories that require fast, reliable, and accurate results.
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.

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 FAST UHT-C 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
The SampleSense FAST UHT-O system provides ultra-high throughput analysis for in-service oil laboratories running ASTM Method D5185. SampleSense FAST UHT-O combines ultra-high throughput ICP analysis, minimizes ICP system maintenance, maximizes profit per sample and provides significantly improved data.
Reduces carbon buildup on torch
Maximizes profit per sample
Eliminates oil drips from sample probe
Improves stability for longer, more productive runs
SampleSense FAST UHT-S 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.

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 UHT-S can double or even triple sample throughput
