Increase your lab's sample throughput

The Acaros Volumetric automatically prepares high volumes of samples. It offers an integrated autodiluter and autosampler to efficiently process samples at high speed. Diluting the samples by volume, mixing, sampling, steering and transporting them to the ICP analyzer are just a few examples of preparation steps that are performed automatically by this solution. It enables processing and analyzing of samples in a controlled, accurate, reproducible and time-saving way. In addition, the Acaros will automatically calibrate the ICP analyzer and handle, check and interpret the gathered data.

The Acaros Volumetric automatically performs dilutions based on volume. It handles varying dilution factors and is able to manage various recipes or methods per sample. In addition, it performs viscosity and density procedures.

Sample to sample carry over is a significant source to inaccurate and unreliable analysis results. The Acaros Volumetric is designed to minimize the amount of sample to sample carry over by offering:

  • Height sensors: an ultrasonic height-sensor ensures the needle only goes into the sample ~2 mm and moves down with the liquid surface while aspirating.
  • Extensive cleaning: Parts that have come into contact with the sample are thoroughly cleaned. While the sample is being analyzed, the needle and mixer are cleaned and rinsed simultaneously. Our intelligent cleaning solution performs additional cleaning when a highly concentrated sample is detected.

As a preferred partner of SPECTRO, our Acaros Volumetric is specifically designed for seamless integration with ICP analyzers. This powerful integration enables fully automatic sampling, diluting and analysis. As a result, the sample throughput of laboratories is increased and the quality of the prepared samples is highly consistent and reliable.

The vortex mixer of the Acaros Volumetric quickly homogenizes the sample/solvent mixture. After homogenization, the diluted and homogenized sample is directly sent to the Turbolizer©. This optional feature reduces the sample to sample time. Preparation of samples, measuring and cleaning takes place simultaneously to archive an efficient process.

Acaros Software

Software for our Acaros solutions, developed for laboratory professionals.

The Acaros Software has been specifically developed for laboratory professionals. It allows them to perform multiple recipes per sample. Visual insight enables easy prioritizing and grouping of samples. Quality control is performed automatically. The latest technologies and Artificial Intelligence (AI) combined with our experience and knowledge in sample preparation are condensed in this software.

Sample to sample carry over is a significant source to inaccurate and unreliable analysis results. The Acaros Volumetric is designed to minimize the amount of sample to sample carry over by offering:

  • Disposable pipets: a separate pipet is used for each sample.
  • Height sensors: an ultrasonic height-sensor ensures the pipet only goes into the sample ~2 mm and moves down with the liquid surface while aspirating. A second ultrasonic height sensor ensures the needle, used to bring the diluted and mixed sample to the sample loop, to remain as clean as possible.
  • Mix tubes: each sample is homogenized in the vortex mixer using its own mix tube.

Soil Sample Preparation

Soil samples cannot be introduced to the analyzer directly. A soil sample preparation procedure is performed.

Water Sample Preparation

Water samples or waste water flows are tested either frequently or by continuously monitoring water flows on-site.

Oil Sample Preparation

Oil samples undergo an extensive preparation procedure before they are introduced to the ICP analyzer.

Applications

Save time with our comprehensive automatic sample preparation solutions. Efficiently process large volumes of oil, coolants, water and soil samples.
