Fully automated sample preparation system APW

laboratorydilutionfiltration

The APW Automated Sample Preparation Workstation enhances laboratory productivity by minimizing resource allocation for repetitive tasks such as sample weighing, extraction, filtration, dilution, and transfer to analysis devices. This enables the re-purposing of lab staff to mission critical tasks such as data analysis, reporting, and notebook documentation. Automated procedures can also reduce solvent usage and hazardous waste generation while improving analyst safety by minimizing exposure to hazardous reagents and samples. Assay and content/blend uniformity for up to 300 samples Waters Empower™ interface 10 mL initial extraction volume using a focused sonication probe Powerful dEsign™ variables for streamlined DoE studies After weighing the sample, the APW uses a focused sonication probe coupled with a UV temperature sensor to deliver sample disintegration without over-heating. Combined with the vortex station, the APW can achieve efficient and reproducible extractions for even the most challenging of sample formulations. Common dosage forms include API, tablets, gels, creams and other lose dose formulations. Cleaning between samples is easily programmed into the method to eliminate sample carry-over. The updated APW is enhanced to reduce cycle times by adding efficiency to the dilution process. Consistent volumetric preparations are confirmed gravimetrically at every step throughout the process. The APW filters extracted samples as they are transferred from one processing tube to another. Post filtration, the system can perform up to 1:100,000 dilutions within a single method.
