Automated Weighting Station

Contents

Overview

  • Automate simple tedious weighing repetitions for liquids
  • Tare weight, fill weight, solvent volume calculation in spreadsheet
  • Reagent additions
  • Accurate dilutions
  • Monitoring of weight change reactions (outgassing,digestions)
  • Vial transportation
  • Two-way communication between Balance and PAL
  • Most cost effective; low price tag
  • Control it with LEAP Shell
  • Combines liquid transfers with gravimetric determinations
  • Adaptable time schedule
  • Adaptable to various vial sizes (2, 5, 10 or 20ml vials)

  • Small footprint
  • High vial capacity
  • Many PAL accessories











Sample Balance PAL Workflow

  • Tare bar coded empty vials
  • Manually add powder solids w/ measuring spoon

OR Automatically add liquid samples with PAL

  • Weigh barcoded vials
  • Calculate solvent needed for target concentration
  • Dispense solvent
  • Agitate with optional temperature control
  • Inject onto HPLC valve

OR manually remove vials for off-line analysis
