Aleviating Bottlenecks in Sample Preparation Workflow

Many analytical procedures require repetitive sample preparation tasks that consume valuable operator time, increase laboratory costs, and extend turnaround times. One such task is the addition of acids and solvents into microwave digestion and extraction vessels.
This process not only demands significant time from the operator but also exposes them to harsh reagents, increasing the risk of contamination due to manual handling. The easyFILL Automated Dosing Station effectively addresses these issues by utilizing a single platform that ensures superior workflow and enhanced safety for the operator, making it an indispensable tool in modern laboratories.

consistencyCONSISTENT RESULTS

easyFILL offers flexibility with a wide variety of racks to accommodate most digestion or extraction vessels and vials. The system handles up to six reagents at a time (such as mineral acids like: HNO3, H2O2, HCl, HF and solvents like acetone, hexane, methylene chloride) matching most application needs. easyFILL comes into play before the digestion for acid addition and after for pre-dilution or for acidification of the digested solutions. easyFILL is compatible with ICP autosampler racks to avoid additional handling.

High flexibility of reagent additionHIGH FLEXIBILITY

The handling of acids often leads to human errors and contamination, potentially impacting the analysis quality. The dispensing accuracy of the easyFILL pump ensures great reproducibility, while the handsoff approach and the use of high-purity PTFE for all the acid lines avoids risk of contamination. Moreover, the automatic cleaning of the lines, built into the sequence, avoids contamination when different reagents are dosed.

safe reagent additionENHANCED SAFETY

easyFILL is fully controlled by a touch screen terminal with customized software. For routine processes the operator simply recalls a stored method with the type and volume of reagents as well as the number of positions in use. Availability of the reagents in the bottles and the waste volume are tracked by the software, so that the operator knows when it is time to refresh a reagent bottle or empty the waste tank.
Moreover the software integrates a guided procedure to calibrate the pump, in just few minutes.

Achieving consistency in sample preparation to ensure low blank levels in trace metal determination

In this study, we will explore how the implementation of easyFILL can effectively overcome safety concerns and ensures consistency of result in sample preparation workflow for trace metal determination.

easyFILL WORKFLOW

Less operator time, improved workflow, enhanced safety

The task of manually adding reagents occupies valuable time of the operator, limiting lab productivity and the ability of the chemist to accomplish other tasks. easyFILL automates these steps, reducing the operator time to just a few seconds.
