Vortex Autosampler
VortexTM Auto-prep / Autosampler module
Vortex Autosampler
The VortexTM autosampler is a significant new development in automated sample preparation and delivery for DSV. It consists of an integrated autosampling device and multi-vial stirrer and is designed to increase efficiency, enhance precision and promote operator safety.

The temperature controlled, heated (up to 150°C) multi-stirrer assembly features a stainless steel tray, capable of handling either 20 ml or 40 ml vials. Each vial position has its own magnetic stirring mechanism, delivering consistent and reproducible stirring action from vial-to-vial and eliminating variability due to the dissolution process.

Accessory syringe pumps are used to dispense solvent and deliver sample. Solvent and sample delivery, dissolution times, load/inject sequences and multi-stirrer control are software controlled, effectively removing the operator from the sample dissolution and delivery process.

When coupled with Viscotek's Relative Viscometer, the VortexTM provides a complete, automated system for determination of solution viscosities.
