•
Carousel and moving-needle design to guarantee reliable sampling from a
variety of vial sizes and well plates
•
10 mL polystyrene sample vials with wide openings for large-volume
injections and trace analysis
•
High sample capacity, from 81 (10 mL vials) to 1152 (three 384-position
well plates)
•
Sample preparation function to automate sample and standard
preparations, saving time and labor
Optional features of the AS-AP include sample tray temperature control,
simultaneous injections, sequential injections, sample preparation, or fraction
collection and reinjection, and 6-port or 10-port valves.
Dionex AS-DV Autosampler
The AS-DV is a basic autosampler that is capable of delivering between 0.1
and 5.0 mL of sample (in 0.1 mL increments) to the sample loop or
concentrator column in an ion chromatography system.
The Dionex ICS-5000 holds 50 vials (either 0.5 mL or 5.0 mL, or a
combination of the two sizes). Vials can be sampled in any order and multiple
samples can be taken from each vial. The Dionex AS-DV remembers the vial
size and volume delivered for each vial position, allowing multiple samples to
be taken from a vial non-sequentially.
Dionex AS Autosampler (AS)
The AS is a powerful, full-featured autosampler that precisely delivers from
1.0 to 100 µL (in 0.1 µL increments) or 100 to 8000 µL (in 1 µL increments)
of sample to an injection valve. In addition to the normal mode, the
autosampler can operate in several other modes, including concentrate,
simultaneous, and sequential injections.
Dionex ICS Series Photodiode Array Detector (PDA)
The PDA optical detector is capable of measuring the absorbance spectrum
from 190 to 800 nm. A deuterium lamp optimizes the UV range (190 to
380 nm) and a tungsten lamp optimizes the visible range (380 to 800 nm).
The PDA enables you to collect up to five single wavelengths (2D
chromatograms) without being required to collect 3D data. Collecting
