EPOND presents the autosamplers from ESI : the SC-Series Clean Intelligent Autosamplers

The ESI SC-Series has been developed to solve the current limitations of autosamplers available to the analyst. Dual flowing rinse station allows for the use of two different rinse solutions ensuring fast wash-out of sample and minimal blank contamination. The sample probe has no guide, thus eliminating a major cause of cross contamination between samples.

Rapid, Accurate, Clean and Cost-Effective

  • The Linear/Polar motion - gives rapid sample changeover.
  • Auto zero feature after each sample ensures no missed vials.
  • Ultraclean dual-flowing rinse station does not use a peristaltic pump, ensuring no contamination from tubing.
  • Contamination from external sources eliminated with the optional HEPA filter cabinet.
  • No probe guide - eliminates a major cause of cross contamination.
  • Prices range from CHF 8500,- to CHF 15000,-.
  • Inert, Flexible and User Friendly

  • All fluoropolymer sample flow path construction - corrosion resistance.
  • All electrical components are encapsulation-sealed.
  • No metal or mechanical parts move over the samples vials.
  • Simple user set-up.
  • Multiple rack sizes can be utilized, for maximum flexibility.
  • Unique Features of the SC-Series Autosamplers

    Unsurpassed Capacity

  • Maximum sample space made available on the sample platform
      -  up to 1260 samples in the case of the SC-14 ...
  • Smallest footprint / sample.
  • Dual Rinse Station

  • Allows the use of 2 rinse solutions.
  • Mimics best manual procedure.
  • Reduces contamination of blank solutions.
  • Ultra clean option.
    - Uses pressurized containers to supply rinse solutions.
    - No Contamination from Peristaltic Pump tubing.
  • Rapid

  • Simultaneous Linear / Polar motion ensures rapid movement between samples.
  • Sample to Rinse time ~3secs.
  • X-Y-Z speed user controllable.
  • Carriage is easily accessible for simple repair.
  • No Cross Contamination

  • Teflon-encapsulated carbon fibre sample arm & probe.
  • No probe guide, eliminates a major cause of sample cross contamination.
  • No metal or mechanical parts move over the sample platform.
  • SC-14 / SC-14T High Capacity Autosampler

    The SC-14 provides unsurpassed sample capacity to ensure the longest unattended operation for overnight runs. It can hold up to 14 racks of Rack Type A or 24 racks of Rack Type B. The SC-14 autosampler is available either as a bench-top unit or as a mobile autosampler with integrated cart.

    Feature Benefit
    High Capacity Unattended overnight runs
    Linear / Polar Motion Faster Sampling
    No Probe Guide Low Contamination
    Mobile (option) Samples can be loaded in preparation area

    SC-2 High Purity Autosampler

    The SC-2 provides a full-featured autosampler with a small footprint, making it ideal for labs with minimal bench space. It can hold up to 2 Rack Type A or 4 Rack Type B.

    Feature Benefit
    Large / Small Vials accommodated All samples analyzed in a single run
    Mechanism below sample tray Low contamination
    No Probe Guide Low Contamination
    Dual rinse station Mimics best manual procedure

    SC-E2 Integrated Autosampler

    The first of its kind to combine an autosampler with a sample tray mounted to the Element 2 ICP-MS, making a convenient interface ideal for either self-aspirating or pumping liquid samples.

    Feature Benefit
    Large / Small Vials accommodated All samples analyzed in a single run
    Mechanism below sample tray Low contamination
    No Probe Guide Low Contamination
    Dual rinse station Mimics best manual procedure
    Fully Integrated with Element2 Easy maintenance &
    fast rinse-out

    Options Available

  • Dual Rinse Station:
    -   Peristaltic Pump under the SC-14T control allowing for Optimum Rinsing
    -   Pressurized Cleaning System, giving the lowest possible Rinse Contamination.
