Automation of laborious, tedious, repetitive tasks in an analytical laboratory has received a great deal of attention in the last decade. One area that still has to catch up is the automation of sample preparation. Even though the analysis of a sample is a standardized procedure, sample preparation has been left with many uncertainties and variations. Analytical methods normally start as hand-methods. Automatic analyzers have been developed, but sample preparation and the loading of samples are still plagued with many uncontrolled variables, which hamper higher reproducibility and productivity. CTC Analytics is making a substantial contribution in the sample preparation and injection areas. The GC autosampler CTC/Leap A200S for many commercial testing, pharmaceutical research and chemical industry laboratories has become the autosampler of choice. The A200S provides a great deal of flexibility. The autosampler fits onto practically all GC brands and models that have vertical injection ports. That hardware adaptability is combined with user selectable parameters, which provide full optimization of the injection method for each application. The basic parameters are sample volume, number of needle washes with two different solvents, syringe plunger speeds, and pre- and post injection delays.
- Sample Tray: Removable sample trays with the possibility of temperature control
- Number of samples: 200 Vials: 0.7 ml; 105 Vials: 1.5 ml (optional); 32 vials: 5 ml (optional)
- Minimum sample Vol: 0 µl for 3-fold injection
- Dosage Method: Stepper motor driven syringe of 10 ul (Hamilton 701 type). Volume selectable in 0.1 microliter steps. Simply adjustable dead volume.
- Syringe Cleaning: Number of cleaning cycles with sample (0-99) & solvent (0-99)
- Injection Side: Installation for left or right hand side is possible
- Injection Point: Two different injection points selectable in method
- Reproducibility: Splitless injection <1.0% absolute; On column injection < 1.0% absolute; <0.2% relative; Retention time better than 0.1%
- Splitter Valve Control: Valve activated 0-99 sec. before, and 0-99 sec after injection
This refurbished CTC A200S autosampler is tested and reconditioned at SpectraLab. It is guaranteed in working order. 105 vials tray sold separately. The device tray can be kept cooling if you circulate cooling agents with additional pump. It can be used both GC/HPLC. A 90 day warranty is included. Multiple available.
