Automated sample preparation system SWING

for sample preparationfor laboratory automationfor liquid handling

Overview
Versatile automated gravimetric dispensing system for analytical sample preparation, reaction setup and formulation. Combines patented overhead gravimetric dispensing, modular dosing tools and intuitive software to automatically add solids, powders, granulates and liquids into vials, tubes, plates and reactors without moving the destinations.

Workflow (SWING)

• Gravimetric solid dispensing
• Gravimetric liquid dispensing and aspiration
• Automated mixing
• Temperature control: heating and cooling

Benefits

• Reduce cost per sample by up to 90%.
• Increase throughput by a factor of 10× or more.
• Gravimetric handling of liquids, solids, powders, granulates, spheres and waxes in rack/reactor formats.
• Optional 4-Needle Head for volumetric liquid sampling and transfer.
• The balance travels to the destination to increase speed and efficiency.
• Selectable balance resolution: 1 mg, 0.1 mg or 0.01 mg.
• Wide dispensing range from micrograms up to grams.
• Modular robotic toolset can be combined with other tools for multi-step workflows.
• Read-only data log records dispensed mass, mixing speed, temperature, time and other parameters.
• AUTOSUITE — drag & drop experiment design with direct export for data analysis.
• Interfaces: DOE, ML/AI, LIMS, ELN, ERP.

Software
AUTOSUITE provides fast, flexible experiment automation to design, execute, analyze and report experiments on automated Chemspeed workstations. ARKSUITE orchestrates laboratory workflows across multiple Chemspeed systems and manual processes, centralizing workflows, experiments, messaging, status and inventory management.
