Laboratory Automation Solutions from Rudolph Research Analytics
Automatically measure your Density, Specific Gravity, Optical Rotation, Specific Rotation, Refractive Index, Brix, Urea, pH, Color (Reflectance and Transmittance) and more parameters. Instruments can be connected each other without additional software, computer connectivity at Rudolph Research.
• Self-validated system - New software makes it easy to run Daily system validations which can be done as often as you’d like without any interruption to your routine.
• Custom sample racks allow use of your vial - Saves time, money and no decanting. Simply use the same vial you’re accustomed to: 16x100mm, 13x100mm, 13x7mm, 5mL and more.
• Heated Racks - For your heated applications we have 2 configurations available: 40/10 (40 heated and 10 non-heated ) and 20/30 (20 heated and 30 non-heated).
Petroleum Customers know that it is necessary to have non-heated availability for some control samples and the AutoFlex® R837 is the only auto sampler available at the time of publication that can comply with both heated and unheated applications.
• Urgent sample - Allows the user to run an interrupt sample without having to restart the active run.
• Flexible Method Selection - One of our goals at Rudolph Research Analytical is to keep things simple for the user. Each sample may require different sample load mode and/or parameters, measurement parameters, measurement criteria, temperature, cleaning parameters with solvent type, amount of solvent and drying time.
• Unattended Operation - The system has the intelligence to alert the operator to a low solvent condition or high waste jar condition.
• Unmatched Features - Push the start button and watch the vial spin to read your barcode (QR, PDF417, or 2D labels) for the sample ID. Low and highly viscous samples load flawlessly. The Automation system measures Density, SG, OR, SR, RI, Brix, CIE L*a*b*, Gardner, ABS, %T, Cobalt, pH, then transfers the results automatically to LIMS, SAP or
any proprietary data management system.
The Automation system can reclaim the sample if enabled, then thoroughly clean and dry with zero cross contamination.
There is no limit to what we can do with the Windows- embedded operating system.
Automation Flexibility with 2 Sample Capacity
The Two Sample Drawer Model, with fully automated sample loading, is perfect for labs who want the benefits of automatic sample loading, cleaning and drying but don’t have a large number of samples to measure.
• 3 sample movement techniques: suction, pressure, or both
• 3 rinses to thoroughly clean the system.
• Automated cleaning system that allows laboratory staff to focus more efficiently on their other work.
• Samples can be heated automatically.
• Automatically load a blank and a sample in one routine.
• Instruments are always ready to use, walk away and the system cleans itself.
• Make 1 to 6 measurements per sample.
• By using the next sample as a rinse it reduces cycle time.
Automated Data Collection
Automated sampling manages electronic data recording, sample IDs and reduces operator errors. Test tubes and bottles can be automatically identified by the system with a built in bar code and label reader.
• Use any format of bar codes: PDF 417, 2D Matrix, UPC or any bar code your lab chooses.
• The bar code is recorded as the Sample ID, measurements are taken, and data is available for export to a USB, Network Server, LIMS or any data storage system.
• Labeling sample vials is also simplified as each bar code can be placed at any rotation on the sample vial or bottle because the sample vials are spun as they pass the bar code reader.
• Import List of Sample IDs - Sample IDs can be saved and exported to AutoFlex®, which can automatically populate the sample sequence without the need of sample labels.
• Low sample volume consumption - The Auto-Flex® R837 uses less than 12ml of sample for a 5 instrument combinations of measurement: SG, RI, OR, LAB and pH (Density Meter, Refractometer, Polarimeter, pH meter, Colorimeter).
• Fast Throughput - 1.5 to 8 minutes per cycle (load, measure & clean)
Smart Sample Loading Technology
• SMART TECHNOLOGY™ automatically adjusts pump
speed ranging from thin to high viscosity samples up
to 36,000 mPa-s (cP).
• A heated rack option allows heavy crudes be pumped through the system.
• Standard Methods: Define measurement configuration, sample load configuration (Vacuum or Gas Displacement) solvent choices and drying time.
• No house air required.
A sample of the many custom rack configurations available only from Rudolph. Mix or match up to 5 heated or unheated racks on one Carousel.
