Sample Automation for the minispec mq and mq-one Series
This new easy to use, cost-effective system brings sample automation to routine minispec applications, including complex Solid Fat Content (SFC) analysis.
Now, thanks to quick sample exchange times that maximize throughput and increased reliability in minispec measurements, productivity is significantly boosted.
theminispec Sample Automation system is available as a standalone accessory to existing minispec systems from the mq and mq-one Series, or as a packaged system with a new minispec spectrometer.
Key Advantages
- Single supplier solution: minispec and Sample Automation system both provided by Bruker BioSpin
- SFC Sample Automation system automatically and accurately controls tempering times delivering results in strictest accordance to SFC International Standard Methods.
- Automation for all other major Time Domain-Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (TD-NMR) minispec applications including the following preparation steps:
- Sample pre-tempering (heating)
- Barcode reader option
- Service and support by Bruker BioSpin or local representative
Maximized productivity from the world leader in SFC measurements
By automating tempering times theminispec Sample Automation system ensures highly accurate sample temperatures delivering results in strictest accordance with SFC International Standard Methods.
Automated SFC Measurements Include:
- Crystallization kinetics and curve plotting (SFC versus time)
- Visual display of the melting curves of products
- Derived parameters such as slip melting point and dropping point can be calculated using TD-NMR SFC values
- Automatically calculated averages
- Fast SFC measurement option with automatic data correction
Sample Automation for SFC Features:
- New software package integrates Bruker‘s innovative experience with SFC Automation knowledge of collaboration partner comicon GmbH, Hamburg, Germany
- Two input racks for 10 mm tubes with 60 tube positions each
- Waste position for easy disposal of post-analysis sample tubes
- Three tempering blocks of 60 positions for 100°C/80°C, 60°C and 0°C
- Six tempering blocks of 10 positions each for heating and cooling
- Block cooling by modern Peltier Technology, including purge option
- SFC calibration sample positions: 0%, ca. 30% and ca. 70% SFC included in the SFC automation system
- Fully automatic Daily Check functionality
