Description
X, Y Autosampler – Transmission and Reflectance Automated Sampling in Microplate Format
The PIKE Technologies X, Y Autosampler is designed around standard 24, 48 or 96 well microplate architectures – ideal for high efficiency sample loading and FTIR analysis. Applications include high throughput analysis of liquid residues and chemical reactions, powdered samples, and automated diffuse reflectance analysis. The X, Y Autosampler is available in standard all reflecting optics and with gold-coated optics for highest performance mid-IR and optimized NIR sampling.
The autosampler features an X, Y stage with both axes driven by high precision stepper motors for speed and reproducibility. Programming and control of the X, Y Autosampler is done through PIKE Technologies AutoPRO software, and is compatible with current FTIR systems.
The optical design is based upon a precision ellipsoidal reflector and the size of the spot illuminated at the sample is approximately 2 mm – ideal for up to 96 well configurations.
PIKE Technologies have developed a special silicon well plate excellent for transmission analysis. This unique 96 well plate provides full mid-IR transmission spectra and is sufficiently durable for extended usage. For diffuse reflection measurements a cavity style plate with standard format placement of samples is available. Please contact us for other configurations.
