LINCOLN, NEB. - Teledyne LABS has significantly improved an already superior system with the new SimPrep+ advanced automated liquid handling station. The SimPrep+ is an innovative walk-away station that alleviates the mind-numbing manual sampling process, lowers cross-contamination and frees up personnel to do more complicated, rewarding work.
“The SimPrep+ allows you to get more done, faster, with error-free operation and a robust build for long-lasting performance," said Gary Preister, business development manager for Teledyne LABS' CETAC brand. “Considering all its cutting-edge technology, the SimPrep+ is still easy to operate. Users appreciate the SimPrep+ advantages immediately. Just set it and forget it."
SimPrep+ options include a two-rack or four-rack system and well-plate adapters (96, 48, 24 format) that work with error-free precision thanks to the new and improved syringe pump module. Intuitive AQ-Prep software quickly and easily delivers precise, comprehensive control, flexible method development and a choice of sample mixing techniques, all with a couple of keystrokes.
“Our chemists and engineers have extensive training and hands-on experience in the lab, so they know what our customers want and need," Preister said. “We even consider health and safety. Customers tell us that over time, the mind-numbing, repetitive manual process can even cause repetitive stress injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome. The SimPrep+ alleviates those concerns."
SimPrep+ advantages:
- Efficient: free-up lab personnel for other tasks—get more done and save valuable time (remember, time is money).
- Error-free: automated, off-line liquid handling eliminates manual blunders
- Pure: the exclusive new sample probe lowers cross-contamination with improved accuracy and precision
- Safer: reduces personnel exposure to toxic and corrosive chemicals and repetitive stress injuries (carpal tunnel syndrome) inherent to manual sampling.
SimPrep+ capabilities
Dispense a diluent to a series of vials or transfer a sample from one vial to another.
Perform prescribed single dilutions (i.e., 1/5, 1/10, 1/20) for a sequence of samples.
Conduct serial dilution with the SimPrep+ programable rinsing and mixing functions.
Prepare samples in your choice of methods to suit a wide variety of analysis techniques, such as ICP-OES or ion chromatography.
SimPrep+ applications
Perfect for a wide range of aqueous standard and sample prep methods and markets:
- ICP-OES, ICP-MS, AAS, IC, and FIA
- Environmental (e.g., groundwater, wastewater)
- Agriculture (e.g., soil digests)
- Mining (e.g., ore digests)
- In-service coolants
- Clinical samples
“In addition to developing and producing leading-edge equipment and technology used in labs around the world, we pride ourselves in providing the ultimate in customer care and technical support before, during and after delivery," Preister said. “We welcome comments and inquiries on all our products and services."
Preister suggested contacting the experts at Teledyne LABS to learn how the tremendous value built into every aspect of the SimPrep+ can help any lab do more, faster and better than ever before.
