Ai Scientific’s AccuLute is a stand alone dilution station for automating routine dilutions from one sample tube into another. The AccuLute will prepare up to 135 diluted samples in one single run while the AccuLute Plus doubles this capacity upto 270 diluted samples. Each run can carry out up to three separate dilutions allowing multiple dilutions from the same source tube or serial dilutions. The AccuLute consists of an AIM1250 autosampler, an AIM1300 Syringe Dispenser, wash pump and the Elite dilution software. The AccuLute Plus doubles sample capacity from 3 to 6 sample racks with the Tray Extender. This provides a simple upgrade path as workload increases. AccuLute offers many benefits for automating dilutions: Accuracy - High resolution syringe drive (24,000 steps) results in a high dilution accuracy (typically <0.01%). Speed - High sample throughput, typically processing 60-90 samples/hour depending on the method. Flexible programming - To allow a tailored dilution method to meet the requirements of any user. Sample flexibility - Ability to cope with different sample viscosities through different bore sample probes and variable syringe speeds. Sample presentation - Your choice of rack types to accommodate a variety of tube sizes and types. Variable height - Height adjustable to optimise probe travel to sample tube height. All AI Scientific products undergo vigorous testing before market release and are manufactured under ISO9001 certification.
