The Dart ionisation source is now available with a robotic autosampler providing the reproducibility required for quantitative analysis and unattended operation for all analyses
The Autodart-96 is a modified version of the popular CTC HTS-Pal autosampler and is programmed to pick up and present samples rapidly to the Dart source with no user input.
Using a specially designed sample tip - the Dip-it , samples in 96-well plates are presented in a repeatable and consistent way.
An analysis of each well is typically performed in 20-30 seconds.
The Dart source can be used in conjunction with almost any mass spectrometer with an atmospheric inlet source.
Acknowledging that some laboratories have instruments from different vendors and that the Dart would be used on all of these, Ionsense has developed the Walkabot, a transportable height-adjustable bench to which the Dart source is fitted.
This arrangement enables the easy transport of the Dart source between mass spectrometers.
An integrated laser alignment tool facilitates the rapid positioning of the source in line with the instrument's inlet.
KR Analytical is the distributor for Ionsense in the UK and Europe, and also provides ancillary equipment for mass spectrometers such as gas generators from Texol and syringe pumps from KD Scientific.
