See how sampling, preparation and measurement connect, all the way to the results.

01 / Sampling

Skalar 1074 autosampler.
Skalar 1074 autosampler.
01SamplingHow your samples enter the system.

The autosampler feeds the samples into the system. The choice depends on how many you process and the containers you use. Depending on the configuration, it can also dilute samples and prepare calibration solutions.

1100 / 1150
2 × 50 sample positions
1074
Up to 300 samples
1075
576 sample positions + 26 for standards and controls

Check container compatibility, dilution and number of needles before choosing the sampler.

02PreparationThe treatments your method needs.

Preparation is built into the sample’s path. Dialysis, digestion and distillation options are chosen according to what your method requires.

Dialysis
In-line treatment depending on the application
UV digestion

Distillation
Preparation within the analytical path
Throughput
30–120 analyses/hour, depending on the application

Throughput is not a fixed capacity for every method and does not necessarily equal samples per hour.

03MeasurementHow we measure what you want to analyze.

The detector is chosen based on what you need to measure. Options include colorimetry, UV, fluorimetry and ion-selective electrodes.

Colorimetry
Digital dual channel detectors
Matrix correction
Option for specific applications
Other technologies
UV · Fluorimetry · ISE

The choice depends on the substance you need to measure, its concentration and the sample type.

04ResultsInstrument control, monitoring and reports.

With FlowAccess you can control the instrument, follow measurements and organize results and reports.

Planning
Sample tables and dilutions
Monitoring
Real-time signals and results
Quality control
Configurable CLP / GLP criteria
FlowReport
Custom reports and export

System options are chosen based on your analyses, the method and the model.

Frequently asked questions

Before you choose
your SAN++.

What do I need to define to choose a configuration?

The sample type, the parameters you need to measure, their expected concentrations and the analytical methods. Daily workload and available space complete the choice of modules and autosampler.

Do all analyses require the same sample preparation?

No. Each method sets its own preparation. The system can integrate in-line treatments such as dialysis, digestion and distillation; other applications require extracts or digests prepared before the sample is introduced.

Can I analyze different parameters at the same time?

Yes. The modular design lets you combine simultaneous determinations. The number of parameters depends on the model, the installed modules and the preparation each method requires; it is not automatically the same as the number of modules.

What determines how many samples I can process per day?

The method, preparation, dilutions and the sequence of calibrations and controls all affect throughput. Autosampler capacity shows how many samples it can hold, not how many are analyzed per hour.

Can I expand the system if my needs change?

The system’s configuration can be adapted. Compact and Advanced accept additional racks for analytical modules. Expansion depends on space for modules and detectors, pump capacity and the requirements of the new methods.

What is the difference between controlling the instrument and managing the results?

The touch screen controls basic functions, such as pump speed and reactor temperature. FlowAccess coordinates the analysis, displays the signals and calculates results. FlowReport lets you prepare and export reports.

Can it dilute samples and prepare standards automatically?

Yes, with the diluter station and the matching sampling options. The system can prepare working standards, dilute samples before analysis and re-analyze those above the calibration range. We help you define these functions for your methods.
