In order to extend the range of applications of the Metrohm Robotic Sample Processors even further, the company has developed a thermostattable sample rack suitable for numerous new applications
Heating or cooling your samples is no problem with the new water bath rack, which covers the temperature range between -10C and +50C.
The use of a separate heating or cooling system means that the constant-temperature medium and the bath filling are completely separated.
This has two decisive advantages: the bath cannot overflow as liquid does not need to be added or removed, and you are completely free in the choice of your heating or cooling medium.
As this medium is contained in a separate, closed circulation system it cannot come into contact with the thermostatted samples and therefore cannot influence them in any way.
The heating and cooling spirals ensure efficient and uniform thermostatting of the water bath.
The bath inserts can be removed and exchanged for the other racks available.
This means that you are very flexible regarding the number and size of your samples.
No matter whether you use 11ml test tubes or beakers with a capacity of 75, 120, 150 or even 250ml, each sample is perfectly thermostatted.
A sophisticated holding system keeps the test tubes and beakers from floating.
The water bath rack is mounted in a collection trough that takes care of any water splashes.
If sample solutions are cooled to temperatures below room temperature then condensation is likely to occur on the outside walls.
This condensed water also flows into the collection trough and from there into the waste canister.
