SIM-Gripper

FOR PAL3 AUTOSAMPLER

The SIM-Gripper is a flexible solution for transporting vials of different sizes with and without caps. The tool was constructed for use with the PAL3 autosampler-platform and allows the transport of vials with content of 2, 10 and 20 mL. The transport takes place without an exchange of the gripper tool and thus saves time and costs compared to magnetic-based transport tools. Using the control software CHRONOS, parallel processes of sample preparation by two inlets can be organized and increase sample throughput. The SIM-Gripper is capable to transport vials between the different stations of the PAL sampler, such as the analytical balance, the SIM DE-CAP or the ultrasonic bath. The transport of opened vials offers a particular advantage. Through its special gripping technology, the SIM-Gripper ensures a highly reliable transport of vials without the use of expensive magnetic caps.

Features

• transport of 2/10/20 mL vials with and without caps between racks of the PAL sampler
• vials with magnetic caps and exchange of the SIM-Gripper for different vial sizes are not required
• simplifies the automated sample preparation as it offers more transport options for PAL autosampler platform
