Automatic sample preparation system SWING XDOSE

for the pharmaceutical industryfor forensicsreagent dispensing

Overview
Manual sample preparation for reactions, formulations and analysis is time-consuming and error-prone. SWING XDOSE automates gravimetric dispensing of solids, powders, liquids, viscous liquids and waxes by combining an overhead gravimetric balance movement (patented) with precision dispensing hardware and intuitive software.

Product summary
Automated gravimetric dispensing into vials, tubes, plates or reactors without moving the destination. The system supports volumetric liquid handling via a 4-needle head and can be integrated with additional robotic tools to create multi-step workflows. Balance resolution options and a broad dispensing range enable precise dosing from a few mg to several grams. Configurable racks and trays ensure compatibility with customer formats. Ventilated hood options provide controlled handling under inert atmosphere. AUTOSUITE software offers drag & drop experiment design and supports DOE, ML/AI, LIMS and ELN integration.
