Teledyne CETAC ASXpress™ PLUS Rapid Sample Introduction System

Increase sample throughput 2 to 3 times by adding the Teledyne CETAC ASXpress™ PLUS Rapid Sample Introduction System to your Teledyne CETAC Autosampler. This system minimizes times for sample delivery, stabilization, and washout to maximize ICP-OES or ICP-MS throughput. The increased efficiency also reduces overhead costs and waste. The ASXpress PLUS system can be easily added to autosamplers currently in operation and seamlessly integrates with Thermo Scientific™ Qtegra™ Intelligent Scientific Data Solution™ (ISDS) software.

The ASXpress PLUS Rapid Sample Introduction Accessory reduces time required for autosampler movement, sample uptake, stabilization, and rinse operations, thereby significantly reducing sample run time.

Increase Throughput

• Provides more sample throughput in less time by optimizing sample introduction
• Virtually eliminates stabilization time by removing the need for “fast pumping,” improving plasma stability

Reduce Maintenance

• Extend the service life of ICP-OES/ICP-MS components such as nebulizers, spray chambers, and sample cones by reducing their exposure to the sample matrix

Cost Effective

• Minimize sample consumption
• Reduce laboratory costs associated with argon and power consumption, peristaltic pump tubing replacement, and maintenance

Simple Operation

• Easy set-up with minimal modification to the analysis method
• No additional complex software required; all system parameters are stored in the system's on-board processor

Timing

The ASXpress PLUS accessory increases ICP-OES/ICP-MS analysis throughput by reducing sample delivery/rinse times without affecting measurement time. Multiple sample introduction steps occur simultaneously, resulting in virtual elimination of stabilization and rinse times.

Data Quality

Data quality is fully comparable to that of systems not using an ASXpress PLUS and typical carryover has been measured at less than 0.1%.
