The Motion 40 option allows a heated orbital shaker to be integrated as part of the automatic sample preparation process using the MultiPurposeSampler MPS. The orbital shaker can heat and shake up to 4 samples at the same time. The shaking step is a fixed component of a headspace or SPME run. You can also use the shaking step as part of the automated sample preparation process, however. The system is controlled using the MAESTRO software. Within the software itself, all preparation steps can be prepped ahead to save time.
Functional principle of the Motion 40 option
The MPS transports the samples into the Motion 40, where they are heated and shaken. Heating and shaking are performed in a time-controlled manner. The temperature and speed involved can be set individually. The Motion 40 option is configured for use with 40-mL vials.
Benefits
During automated sample preparation, up to 4 samples in 40-mL vials can be heated and shaken at the same time. Thanks to the MAESTRO software, controlling the system as a whole is simple and intuitive.
