ASX-8000 OEM Autosampler

The CETAC ASX-8000 series autosampler is a small-footprint, versatile XYZ workstation designed to be sturdy, reliable, and easy to use. It provides automated sample introduction that can be applied to a wide range of OEM applications including HPLC, UHPLC, Nano-LC, LC-MS, fraction collection, micro sampling, buffer exchange, liquid handling and more. The ASX-8000 is designed for the introduction of small sample volumes. The ASX-8000 autosampler can automatically introduce up to 768 samples (384-well plates) when fully loaded.

The ASX-8000 can be configured with a variety of optional accessories such as temperature control via Peltier cooling/heating, injection valves, solvent selection/switching valves, dynamic wash and fraction collection. The ASX-8000 is designed to be very flexible. The location of syringe pumps and valves can be easily customized to suit your needs. CETAC can incorporate components from your preferred manufacturer. Here are just some of the options available to make the ASX-8000 platform the perfect fit for your application:

• Versatile and User Friendly: Easy access to valves, sample racks and syringe pumps. Removable cover with doors to protect samples from contamination.
• Sample Injection: Direct sample injection to save valuable sample and reduce carryover. Supports low pressure to high pressure applications (up to 15,000 psi). Supports valves from Rheodyne, Valco and others. Choose from a variety of probe options including inert coated probes.
• Fraction Collection: Supports both fraction collection and sample injection on the same platform to save valuable bench space. Ideal for small volume fraction collection. Ideal for on-line fraction collection onto microplates or MALDI spotting applications
• Syringe Pumps and Rinse Options:Accommodates 1, 2 or 3 syringe pumps with a wide range of syringe sizes from 25µL to 5 mL. Use a solvent selection valve for selecting up to 4 rinse/wash solvents. An active rnse option is available.
• Temperature Control: Peltier cooling/heating option allows computer controlled temperature from 1˚C to 70˚C with an accuracy of +/- 0.5˚C.
• Rack Options:
  • Up to 108 2 mL vials
  • 96-well shallow and deep well plates
  • 384-well plates
  • Custom racks available
• Small Footprint: requires less bench space.Communications: RS-232, USB, Ethernet, 4 to 8 Inputs/Outputs, custom communications
  • 45.7 cm X 33.7 cm X 53.3 cm (H X W X D); 18" X 13" X 21'

ASX-7000 OEM Autosampler

The CETAC ASX-7000 autosampler platform was developed to handle the specific requirements of OEM accounts requiring greater precision and durability. 
Developed with the accuracy needed to operate with 384 micro-titer wells and injection ports, the ASX-7000 platform is able to perform difficult operations such as septum piercing and pick and place operations. The ASX-7000 is highly customizable for a wide range of automation applications, including LC-MS, fraction collection, titration, liquid handling, and more.

Size That Fits

The ASX-7000 series platform is offered in 3 sizes. Platform design allows the height, depth and tray requirements to easily be modified to fit your application. Custom sizes also available.

• Syringe Pumps: Accommodates up to 4 syringe pumps with a wide range of syringes available. User programmable, pump speed settings available.
• Temperature Control: Cooling/heating option allows computer controlled temperature control from 1°C to 70°C with an accuracy of +/- 0.5°C.
• Heated Lines: Heated sample probe and sample lines to increase sample flow in more viscous samples, up to 65C.
• Septum Piercing: Single and multiple septum piercing available.
• Fraction Collection: Fraction collection and autosampling in one platform. Combining two techniques to reduce bench space required.
• Pick-n-Place: Precisely deliver racks and/or vials to user defined locations.
• Injection Valves: Low pressure to ultra high pressure. Supports valves manufactured by Rheodyne, VICI, Valco, and many others.
• Sample Probes: Glass lined stainless steel, Teflon® encapsulated carbon fiber.

ASX-500 Series OEM Autosampler

The platform that started it all, Cetac Automation responded to customer demand in 1993 and produced the ASX-500 platform. With well over 10,000 systems strong and growing each year, this has become known as the work horse in many industries and laboratories. The simple design allows for endless operation and unprecedented performance. The ASX-500 platform is highly customizable for a wide range of automation applications, including AA, ICP, ICP-MS, TOC, UV-VIS, fraction collection, liquid handling, and more.

Size That Fits

The ASX-500 series platform is offered in 4 sizes. Platform design allows the height, depth and tray requirements to easily be modified to fit your application. Custom sizes also available.

Available Options:

• Syringe Pumps: Accommodates up to 4 syringe pumps with a wide range of syringes available. User programmable, pump speed settings available.
• Temperature Control: Cooled/heated rack option allows computer controlled temperature control from 1°C to 10°C with an accuracy of +/- 0.5°C. See the ASX-750.
• Fraction Collection: The 500 platform can be configured for fraction collection.
• Sample Probes: Glass lined stainless steel, Teflon® encapsulated carbon fiber.

SDS-550

An integrated, ready-to-use sample dilution system, the SDS-550 comes complete with an ASX-520 autosampler and custom software. Variable dilution ratios from 1:1 to 1:50, multiple reagents with minimal changeover, large or small batch capacity, and diluent and reagent sequencing are all handled with a minimum investment of employee time and labor.

ADX-500 Autodilution Accessory

The ADX-500 offers a solution for unattended, in-line dilution and analysis. A dual probe system is used to separate uptake for sample dilution and delivery of the sample to the ICP. As the ICP determines over ranged concentrations, samples are automatically diluted and re-sampled. The ADX-500 comes complete with an ASX-520 Autosampler.
