Automatic sample preparation system SWING VISCODOSE

automatedroboticfor sample preparation

Overview
Viscous dispensing/dosing technology combined with overhead gravimetric (patented) capability and AUTOSUITE software enables automatic, accurate dispensing of viscous liquids, pastes, creams and waxes into vials, tubes, plates, reactors and other destinations without moving the destination. The system supports sample processing during dispensing (e.g. heating/cooling, mixing).

Workflow / Product name
SWING VISCODOSE — migrated workflow: SWING VISCODOSE. Typical workflow elements: gravimetric dispensing of (highly) viscous liquids, pastes and waxes; volumetric liquid handling; (screw) capping; mixing; labelling or barcode reading; analyzing. The dispensing robotic tool can be combined with other robotic tools to implement integrated, multi‑step laboratory workflows.

Benefits

• Decrease in cost per sample up to >90%.
• Increase in throughput by a factor of 10+.
• Gravimetric dispensing and aspiration of viscous liquids, pastes, creams and waxes into versatile rack/reactor formats.
• The balance moves to the destination, improving process speed and efficiency.
• Balance resolution options: 0.1 mg or 0.01 mg.
• Wide dispensing range: from a few mg up to several grams.
• 4‑Needle Head available for volumetric liquid handling and sampling.
• Exchangeable robotic tools to support multiple workflows.
• Compatibility with DOE, Machine Learning (ML), Artificial Intelligence (AI), LIMS, ELN and ERP.

Software
AUTOSUITE provides drag & drop experiment design, execution, analysis and reporting. Prebuilt workflows and custom task composition are supported. ARKSUITE enables orchestration of entire laboratory workflows, including multiple systems and manual steps, centralizing experiments, messaging, status and inventory management.

Notes
The patented overhead gravimetric mode allows automated sample preparation with gravimetric dosing while sample processing (heating/cooling, mixing) is active. The system is designed to dose high‑viscosity materials precisely without moving the target container.
