Automated sample preparation workstation for lab efficiency
In modern laboratories, repetitive tasks such as sample weighing, extraction, and dilution can consume significant time and resources. This often results in delayed data analysis and increased exposure to hazardous reagents, impacting overall productivity and safety.

Enhance productivity with automated sample preparation
The APW Automated Sample Preparation Workstation by Sotax AG is designed to streamline laboratory workflows and reduce manual labor. This workstation automates sample weighing, extraction using a focused sonication probe, filtration, and dilution, ensuring consistent and reproducible results for up to 300 samples. It includes features like gravimetric confirmation for volumetric preparations and sophisticated error-handling for comprehensive process records. The built-in HPLC injector supports online analysis, and samples can also be transferred to a UV spectrophotometer for autosampling. The video monitoring feature, VideoLinkā¢, allows real-time recording of specific events for quality control. All procedures are managed using APWsoft, a comprehensive software for process control, data capture, and reporting.
