Automated functions
- Samples are mapped and moved from the trays to the sample carousel
- Samples heated to desired temperature, submerged in temperature-control warm water and moved from tray to sample carousel
- For an accurate result, robot mixes samples prior to analysis
- Samples de-capped
- Samples identified by bar-code or RFID (optional)
- Samples presented to the analyser stirrer/pipette
- Sample vials returned to tray
Operator Savings
- Easy to use
- Robot takes over all the monotonous manual tasks
- Easy to operate
- Reduces operator costs by >50%. One operator can handle up to 3 lines
- Automation helps increase throughput per line with stricter procedures
- Efficient output
Quality Assurance
- Consistent measurements with reliable results with repeatable automated processes
- Pilot samples stored in separate compartment
- Option of random pilot sample testing (depending on laboratory rules)
- ILAS3000 presents the optional capability of alerting operators if check results are outside the user defined range
Productivity
- Two drawers for sample trays allows for continuous operation
- Drawers independent of one another; allows for operator to use one tray while other is being tested by the robot
- Can run at speed of up to 600 samples/ hour
Adaptability
- Adaptable and adjustable to most commonly used vials
- Drawers set up at the factory to suit many styles of trays
- Can be used with or without barcode ID or RFID
