Choose the sampler that best suits your needs
The LIA is the autosampler specifically designed for liquid samples and is available for all 80 Series analyzer models.
It is fully automatic and software-controlled: equipped with a 100μL syringe with a 26-gauge diameter needle, it can directly inject a sample volume ranging from 1 to 100μL into the furnace, with a programmable injection speed.
Equipped with a carousel that can hold up to 15 2 mL sample vials and 6 syringe wash vials, the LIA is the ideal solution for liquid matrices typical of the petrochemical and food industries.
The autosampler movements are controlled electronically by a micro stepper motor. There are three carousels available with 32, 50 or 100 positions.
The ‘Zero Blank’ is completely sealed and a “‘purge’ system ensures the elimination of any residual nitrogen, which makes it particularly suitable for use in the analysis of isotopes.
The analysis of CHNS-O requires a sampling system that does not contaminate the sample with atmospheric nitrogen and oxygen, especially working at very low levels.
However, if the number of samples to be analyzed is small, the manual autosampler could be the solution for you. While it requires an operator, it still ensures the performance expected for laboratory analysis.
The pneumatic autosampler PN150 can stack up to three carousels for a total of 147 samples loaded simultaneously. A line of compressed air drives the movement of the piston that drops the capsule within the combustion reactor.
Before dropping into the reactor, the sample dwells in a conditioning chamber, where a stream of helium ensures the elimination of atmospheric nitrogen introduced during loading. Once dropped in the reactor, the next sample is automatically introduced into the conditioning chamber.
This type of autosampler allows samples to be added continuously while performing the analysis. The autosampler receptacles are 11.5 mm in diameter, so they can easily accommodate large and bulky samples, or samples with low specific gravity (glass fiber filters, soil, leaves, etc.). A large window clearly displays the burning sample within the internal reactor.
Optional accessory for the ‘Zero Blank’ Autosampler , which minimizes system changes during sample loading.
Equipped with a “‘purge’ line separate from the line of the ‘carrier’ gas, the isolation valve isolates the rest of the system from the carousel once the autosampler is opened and during sample conditioning before the start of the analysis.
