The  '''Semi-Solid Workstation'''  is designed to automate the weighing of semi-solid samples in 20ml or 10ml uncapped vials. Semi-solid samples can be a cream consistency and may represent toothpaste, lotion, ointment, oil, essence, cosmetic, paste, emulsion, salve, liniment, unguent, lubricant and baby food.

Conventional pipettes and syringes  are not suited to handling high density samples such as creams and emulsions. The sample will be tend to adhere to the tip resulting in poor precision and accuracy.

Performing dispensing of semi-solid liquids '''manually''' involves the tedious task of pipetting a cream or similar viscous material into tared vials and then reweighing them to determine the exact weight afterward. From this step the process can do various sample prep steps including '''dilutions''' [http://www.leapwiki.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Large_Volume_Dispensing] and '''filtration''' [http://www.leapwiki.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Filtering_of_Samples] either online or on a separate workstation.

General Description

Conventional pipettes and syringes are not suited to handling high density samples such as creams and emulsions. The sample will be tend to adhere to the tip resulting in poor precision and accuracy.

The Semi-Solid Workstation is designed to automate the weighing of semisolid samples, having the qualities of both a solid and a liquid, in 20ml or 10ml uncapped vials. Semi-solid samples can be a cream and highly viscous consistency and may represent toothpaste, lotion, ointment, oil, perfumes,essence, cosmetic, paste, emulsion oils, salve, liniment, fuels, unguent, lubricant,radioactive materials, drug products and baby food. The LEAP has adapted the Ranin's Pos-D™ technology for use on the PALx,y,z robotic autosampler and also works well for applications requiring the pipetting of viscous, volatile, dense, or high surface- tension liquids or contaminated liquids and hazardous or radioactive compounds. It can even eliminate cross contamination in PCR, forensics and diagnostics.

What is an Semi-Solid experiment ?

Performing dispensing of semi-solid liquids manually involves the tedious task of pipetting a cream or similar viscous material into tared vials and then reweighing them to determine the exact weight afterward. From this step the process can do various sample prep steps including dilutions and filtration either online or on a separate workstation. LEAP strives to over come the challenges and characterizations of semi-solids morphology, composition and spatial distribution.

Overview of Semi-Solid PAL System

Semi-Solid Workstation is an easy-to-use, system that provides an automated process for the scheduling and repetitive execution of weighing and dispensing workflow. By use of the advanced LEAP Shell scheduling software experimental design is simplified and reliable.
The application will tare vials, then the system will add a semi solid 'cream' to each vial with individual disposable tips. Once the samples in the sample list are dispensed each vial is re-weighed and calculation and report of the net sample weight. A barcode scanner is included in the setup, and scanning is an option in the method. Values for sample ID, barcode, tare weight and sample weight are recorded in a text file. Barcode validation is optional if the codes do not match from the tare step to the weigh step, the sample is flagged in the output file. It is designed so that the output file can be imported into the sample list of another PAL workstation which will use the sample ID and weight information to do an automatic proportional dilutions and filtration step.

What does the Semi-Solid PAL do?

The vial is transported using a mechanical gripper which will accommodate 10 or 20 mL vials which are uncapped, screw-capped or crimp-capped

Sample Process of the Semi-Solid PAL

  • Tare empty vials
  • Dispense semi-solid to each vial with individual disposable tips
  • Each vial is re-weighed and calculation and report of the net sample weight is created
  • Values for sample ID, barcode, tare weight and sample weight are recorded in a text file
  • Barcode validation is optional if the codes do not match from the tare step to the weigh step, the sample is flagged in the output file
  • Output file can be imported into the sample list of another PAL workstation which will use the sample ID and weight information to do an automatic proportional dilution and filtration step

The PAL has been adapted to hold this removable tip assembly in place of a syringe

Quality control of such samples as creams perfumes, emulsions and lotions require repeated sample prep steps that are well suited for the LEAP Semi-Solid PAL

Sometimes samples are too viscous to pipette accurately even with Pos-D™ e.g. thick creams & lotions. For assurance of good repeatability, sample volumes can be confirmed gravimetrically.[1] LEAP incorporates one of a Mettler ‘s SAG range of balances which is fully integrated into the system. The sample re-constitution volume is calculated from the actual weight. Provides repeatable sample prep for even the most difficult samples.
