Taking the headache out of sample loading for UV-Visible/NIR spectrophotometers

HTA S.r.l. have engineered a solution to end the monotony and lost time that users of  UV-Visible/NIR Spectrophotometers are all too familiar with. The HTI500U has enabled fully automated sample loading specifically for UV-Visible/NIR Spectrophotometers

This sample loading automation will not only save time from the rigours manual sample loading, but operators will also experience an increase in productivity, analytical performance and even a minimisation of the carry-over.

The on-board solvent reservoir allows the probe and the whole flow path to be cleaned before processing the next sample, with the option to program the number of washing cycles according to the sample’s physical and chemical properties. Furthermore, sample replicas and calibration curves will be performed more regularly and without complaint because the whole process is carried out unattended.

HT1500U is available in multiple configurations: it supports stainless steel as well as polymeric needle to deal with metal sensitive applications and a wide choice of fluidics to deal with different levels of flow through cells, including also nano flow through cuvettes, micro cuvettes and macro cells. Different types of tubes are supported too: open or sealed tubes can be hosted to fit any applications. Moreover, the tubes are organised in multiple racks, each of them removable, to enable continuous sample feeding and improved organisation during analyical tasks.

Regardless of the application, whether environmental analysis, routine measurements, advanced research or quality control in production lines, the HT1500U will meet and even exceed expectations in terms of quality and reliability whilst requiring no or just minimal training.

Automating a UV-Visible/NIR Spectrometer requires just a preliminary step to make the spectrophotometer suitable for automation using the HT1500U: the standard quartz cell/cuvette must be replaced with a flow cell. This flow cell will be then fully handled by HT1500U and all the samples will be automatically processed. No additional action is required: you can simply leave the HT1500U to do its work and return later for the post-production data management.
