ADS 2 Advanced Dilution System

Description

The ADS 2 is an automated liquid handling system designed to perform sample and standard preparation tasks for analytical instruments. It automates processes such as the preparation of calibration standards, dilution of samples prior to analysis, and handling of over-range samples, thereby reducing manual labor and potential for human error. The system is engineered for integration with Agilent's ICP-OES and ICP-MS spectrometers and is controlled through the associated ICP Expert and MassHunter software. Key operational features include an Autocalibration Assistant for standard preparation guidance, customizable dilution protocols to avoid unnecessary sample processing, and a compact design that minimizes tubing length when placed near the spectrometer. The interface provides real-time visualization of fluid pathways and includes maintenance alerts to facilitate routine upkeep. Its primary function is to increase laboratory throughput and improve data reproducibility by standardizing dilution workflows.
