Aurora’s revolutionary autosampler eliminates the need to purchase multiple Autosamplers for your Atomic Absorption, Atomic Fluorescence applications and Liquid Handling requirements. Aurora offers an advanced all-in-one XYZ Autosampler for liquid handling, flame, graphite furnace AA and vapor generation (VG) analysis. The freedom of movement in all directions permits the versatility that is unattainable with conventional rotary type of autosamplers. The XYZ Autosampler has the flexibility to adapt to almost any sample container, and automatically introduces up to 1536 samples when loaded to maximum capacity.

• Microplates
• Standard test tubes
• GF sample cups
• Custom GF sample cup sizes

Aurora's user-friendly AISPEC software includes the following built-in functions:

1) Calibration from a single standard

The digital micro-volume pump automatically dilutes a master standard for calibration and standard addition allowing for an easy dilution process that brings out of range samples into calibration range.

2) Perform Online Sample Preparation

The table driven command allows the use of any volume combinations of sample, standard, modifier and blank solutions; thereby, accommodating requirements for method development and quality control.

3) Perform Fast-Dry Technique

The Fast-Dry method involves user programming of injection speed, preheating of temperatures and cooling times using the xyz autosampler. This overcomes unwanted spluttering by the autosampler slowly depositing the test sample onto a pre-heated graphite surface thus giving improved reproducibility, sensitivity and detection limits.

If you need a basic sample changer to automate your liquid analyzer, look no further.

Robotics for High Throughput Laboratory Automation

For applications requiring greater precision and throughput, Aurora has developed the AS1000 autosampler featuring an optical encoder with a resolution of ±0.005mm. This optical encoder consists of a rotating disk, a light source, and a photodetector (light sensor) that converts motion into a sequence of digital pulses. Mounted on a rotating shaft, the optical encoder is able to convert these pulses to relative or absolute position measurements. With this, precise arm movement with increased resolution is reached. Other features include an optional eight- channel head and two arm configuration.

The AS 1000 offers increased throughput while remaining cost effective
