From concept to turnkey solution

Our Solutions

WetChem system [Movie]

For the chemical analysis of mining samples, many different chemical analyses are typically performed (e.g. AAS and/or ICP). The sample preparation procedure is very often time-consuming and involves the dissolution of grinded ground samples using concentrated acids. The automation of the sample prep process results in several advantages; such as improved safety in the lab, an increased throughput of samples (up to 500 samples a day) and possibility to run the machine under a 24/7 regime.

SilverPrill system [Movie]

The automated Silverprill system enables to analyse the presence of different elements by dissolving silver prills in e.g. aqua regia medium. The system can be equipped with an AAS instrument for inline chemical analysis. Through automation of the sample prep process, the system offers an increased quality and safety of the sample prep procedure. Sample throughput can reach up to 1500 samples a day.

Mini-dispenser system

The high speed automated dispenser can be used for reagent or acid gravimetric dispensing in a very fast, accurate and safe way. The system is perfect for any laboratory that requires fast reagent additions to standard test tubes. The complete system is embedded into a safety enclosure.
