high-speed automation for small sample volumes (1 µL… 10 mL)
Laboratory automation in the fast lane: With Metrohm’s new 889 IC Sample Center, less than 10 seconds elapse between start of determination and sample injection. This new and robust x-y-z autosampler has been designed for small sample volumes (1 µL… 10 mL) in particular. Moreover, it is available with a cooling function making it ideal for critical samples from the biochemical and clinical field that need to be kept stable over extended periods of time.
The 889 IC Sample Center is highly versatile. Various injection methods can be selected: full-loop, partial-loop and pick-up. For all three modes, users can select injection with Pressure-Assisted Sample Aspiration (PASA™), a great advantage especially when viscous samples need to be analyzed.
Standard accessories of the 889 IC Sample Center include two 48-position-sample-racks for 300 and 700 µL vessels. Injection volumes from 1 to 100 µL (with 1 µL increments) can be selected. Other sample racks that are common in liquid chromatography or SBS standard microtiter plates can also be used on the 889 IC Sample Center. The system supports sample racks with 12 to 384 positions.
The 889 IC Sample Center is also available with a cooling function. In this version a Peltier element ensures that samples are cooled to a stable minimum of 4 °C. Because of the sophisticated cooling system no temperature gradient can develop; a constant temperature is guaranteed
