This is based on an HTC-xt PAL equipped with the DLW wash system and an air pump to dry the cell. The J57WR-SP has a LEAP supplied flow cell allowing direct injections of small volumes of sample. This direct injection approach significantly reduces the amount of sample required as there are no transfer lines. The sample is picked up from microtiter plates, deepwell plates, 2ml , 4 mL, or 10 mL vials. The flow cell is  flushed using the DLW 2x Solvent pumps system directly through the syringe and cleans the syringe and flow cell. The final blowout and drying of the cell will be made using a small air pump. LEAP offers many storage options for plates and vials with a variety of options including cooling and heating. Customers' unique sample bottles may be used to eliminate the need to transfer samples into specially sized test tubes.

The Rudolph J57WR-SP features a fully automatic measuring system. The J57WR-SP Automatic Refractometer was designed to meet the unique needs of industrial environments in the chemical industry where the refractometer is viewed as a QC tool. The J57WR-SP was designed for chemical measurement, not food. This means a very wide measurement range from 1.26 - 1.70 enabling the instrument to measure materials like fluorocarbons and aromatic chemicals that are beyond the range of most refractometers.

Automated measuring of the refractive index of a substance


Automate Specific Gravity Testing

LEAP Technologies offers automation flexibility with integrating a LEAP HTC-xt-DLW PAL autosampler with the Rudolph J57WR-SP Refractometer.
This is based on an HTC-xt PAL equipped with the DLW wash system and an air pump to dry the cell. The J57WR-SP has a LEAP supplied flow cell allowing direct injections of small volumes of sample. This direct injection approach significantly reduces the amount of sample required as there are no transfer lines. The sample is picked up from microtiter plates, deepwell plates, 2ml , 4 mL, or 10 mL vials. Samples can be capped or sealed. The flow cell is flushed using the DLW 2x Solvent pumps system directly through the syringe and cleans the syringe and flow cell. The final blowout and drying of the cell will be made using a small air pump. LEAP offers many storage options for plates and vials with a variety of options including cooling and heating. Customers' unique sample bottles may be used to eliminate the need to transfer samples into specially sized test tubes.
Barcode ID’s can be integrated with specific gravity readings and output directly into the laboratory data system.
