AS Autosampler

The Dionex ICS-3000TM AS Autosampler provides flexibility, high precision, reliability, ruggedness, and ease of use.  Automation has never been more powerful.

  • Free up your schedule and lab time with automated sample handling for your IC.
  • Improve productivity and throughput with innovative, simultaneous, and sequential sampling modes.
  • Improve your results with automated sample preparation.
  • Eliminate complex laboratory procedures with automated standard preparation.

Key Features Provide Performance and Versatility

  • Perform full loop, partial loop, limited sample, sample preparation, sample dilution, pre-column derivatization, matrix elimination, sample pre-concentration, and more.
  • Consistent operation at RSDs of less than 0.3%
  • Specially designed 10-mL polystyrene sample vials with wide openings that are easy to fill, easy to handle, and permit large-volume injections
  • Well Plate ready for limited sample and high through-put applciations.
  • Easy access to components for effective troubleshooting
  • All-PEEK flow paths that ensure compatibility with aqueous and reversed-phase eluents and protect sensitive samples from metallic contamination
  • Control through Chromeleon®, or module front panel
  • Moving-needle design to guarantee reliable sampling from a variety of vial sizes
  • Easy syringe priming
  • Sample Prep option that saves time and labor by automating your sample and standard preparations
  • Sample tray temperature control option for thermally sensitive samples that offers precise, reliable control over a temperature range of 4–60 °C

Learn how the AS autosampler will improve the productivity of your laboratory in "Techniques to Increase Sample Throughput and Productivity", in the November 2005 issue of LCGC The Peak magazine.
