Orbital agitator

sample preparationanalogheating

The Agitator is a heated orbital shaker for the MultiPurposeSampler MPS. It enables up to 6 samples to be heated and shaken 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 Agitator The MPS transports the samples into the Agitator, 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 Agitator is sealed using a cap. If necessary, the MPS can insert a needle into the vial through the openings in the cap. The Agitator can be used with 2-mL, 4-mL, 10-mL and 20-mL vials.
