Metrohm have long been able to perform analyses automatically. However, large sample throughput can only be achieved using an efficient sampler changer system, which suits your throughput, sample size, collection vessel shape, sample preparation and budget.

Often the justification for automating your analysis can be made by 24hr analysis seven days a week, with the payback period being as low as under a year.

When should a sample changer be used?
  • For large numbers of samples
  • When a high level of automation is required
  • Where sample preparation must be rationalised
  • Where there is no time for sample preparation
  • Where the highest precision and reproducibility is demanded
  • Lower cost analysis
  • Greater sensitivity in the detection of end-points through mathematical evaluation
  • Error-free documentation of analysis results on-line to LIMS systems
The benefits of automating your titration system!
  • High sample output
  • Reproducible results
  • Operator requires no special knowledge
  • Operational personnel are freed for the duration of the analysis
  • Contact with toxic chemicals is reduced to a minimum
  • The system can operate seven days a week for twenty-four hours
