prepFAST X Model

The prepFAST X inline dilution system fully automates laboratory dilutions and eliminates many manual operator actions during an ICP/ICPMS analysis. Recommended model for labs requiring the highest sample throughput.

Fully Automated Sample Preparation with Inline Dilution

The base prepFAST X model fully automates laboratory dilutions with SampleSense vacuum sample loading, providing single valve autodilutions ranging 1-400x with the autocorrecting DXCi autosampler.

Samples are quickly loaded into a loop while the SampleSense optical sensors automatically monitor the sample arrival. The sample is next mixed with syringe-driven diluent and internal standard into a second loop located on the same valve. The diluted and mixed sample is then introduced into the ICP/ICPMS while the first loop is syringe rinsed and readied for the next sample. This sampling and dilution process takes place in seconds with the prepFAST X system.

SampleSense Advantages

Innovative Sample Loading

SampleSense accounts for viscosity and automatically adjusts timing. One method for multiple sample types.

Time Savings

Operator time for sample introduction method development is eliminated. Just run samples.

Sample Savings

The sample is injected at precisely the right time. Every time. Even for small samples.

Error Notification

Incomplete sample loading or bubbles in the sample are detected and logged.
