Unique Key Features of Alltesta™ Mini Autosampler

• Built-In Shaking Feature: Insure sample homogeneity with sample mixing before injection; or do sample extraction directly within the vial; or efficiently quench the sample with a quench reagent precisely delivered by the pump to the vial.
• Compact Design: Save valuable bench space without compromising performance. Can be used in compact mobile applications without adding too much weight.
• Direct Control: Achieve seamless integration with your existing systems through serial commands, with a comprehensive command library provided, allowing you to easily manage and automate liquid sample handling to enhance your laboratory operations.
• OEM Customization: Adapt the Alltesta™ Mini-Autosampler to your specific system with options for custom shapes, colors, and vial sizes.

Versatile Capabilities applicable to different applications. Some examples include:

• Fraction collection: With a simple software modification, the Alltesta™ Mini-Autosampler can function as a fraction collector, enabling fractions to be individually collected in designated vials.
• Reactor probe sampling: A simple software modification can quickly convert this small autosampler into a reactor probe sampler.
• Consecutive feeding different samples to a detector: In many situations, spectrometers like NMR and MS need to be loaded periodically with a series of samples, ensuring minimal distance from the sample to the detector. Thanks to its compact design, the Alltesta™ Mini-Autosampler can be placed close to the measuring cell, which significantly reduces sample spreading and measurement delay.
• Reagent addition and sampling dilution: Integrated reagent and sampling dilution and mixing capabilities allow for preparing samples for the next step in the analytical workflow.
• Loading of fluidic devices: Furthermore, this autosampler application allows users to automate sample storage and delivery to a microfluidic device (chip). With user-adjustable precision, an accurate sample volume can be delivered to a line connected to the chip.
• Sequential Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (seqFISH+): In addition, this autosampler application enables automated RNA fluorescent marker delivery to a Sequential Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (seqFISH+) system. Moreover, it provides access to multiple buffers, ensuring accurate fluorescence and optimal piping conditions.

This miniature autosampler can also be used as a component of our Alltesta™ Analyzers.
