Standard configuration with 2 photometer LEDs Detectors with maintenance-free LED technology Chloride-free and citrate-free buffer system Small eluent consumption Pump allows the simultaneous operation of two fluidic lines Continous analysis of 96 samples in a cooled autosampler High sensitivity of amino acids OVERVIEW Amino Acid Analysis for a wide range of applications The setup of the ARACUS „classic“ is the standard configuration of the analyzer series. The ARACUS „classic“ allows the continous analysis of 96 samples in a cooled autosampler. Eluents and reagent solution are selectively chosen through valves and are ideally mixed to each other. The addition of ninhydrin provides a quantitative analysis statement.  A washing routine of the injection valve and syringe pump avoids cross contaminations. The level of the individual reagents can be monitored during the runs and warns the user if the quantity is no longer sufficient. OVERVIEW Most efficient analysis results with two pumps The ARACUS „advanced“ is an extended configuration of the ARACUS „classic“ by an additional second pump drive. The system allows the continous analysis of 96 samples in a cooled autosampler. The upgraded pump configurations allows the independent operation of two fluidic lines (eluent side and reactive side). The use of two pump drives results in an improved signal-to-noise ratio of the chromatogram. The freely adjustable parameters between the eluent and the reagent pump drives also provide the possibility of using the reagent OPA (o-phthalaldehyde) for detection of primary amines with a fluorescence detector.
