Automatic Sample Processor
For LNF-C (Sample Changer)

"Automatic Sample Processor designed for automatic and unattended sample analysis by LaserNet Fines Particle Counter and Particle Shape Classifier" 

The ASP is a self-contained sample changer and processor designed specifically for use with LaserNet Fines. It provides the user with automatic and unattended processing of 24 used oil or hydraulic fluid samples.

Operation of ASP:
The ASP features a reversing paddle to stir the sample and to provide a homogeneous particle distribution. The next- to-be-run sample is stirred while the current sample is drawn through a sample sipper for analysis. After processing, a robot elevates the sample sipper and sample stirrer from their respective sample bottles and lowers them into spray chambers for cleaning. Rinse solvent, interspersed with air gaps is also pumped through the sipper, LNF tubing and its flow cell to wash away traces of the previous sample. The procedure is repeated until up to 24 samples are analyzed and processed. Sensors monitor the complete step by step process and shut down the system if an error occurs.


Features:
· Automatic / unattended analysis of samples
· Designed specifically for operation with LaserNet Fines
· Does not require sample preparation (pre-stirring or shaking)
· Automatic reersing stirrer to re-suspend settled particle
· Negligible sample carryover due to two-stage wash system
· Software controlled processing time for optimum sample throughput
