AS Vision Autosampler

AS Vision (ASV) is an innovative autosampler that allows rapid and continuous testing of up to 12 samples, with a single press of the play button on MINIVAP VP Vision analyzers. It was developed to achieve the highest sample throughput for the confident fuel analysis via FTIR.

Benefits:

• IR Vision boasts a temperature regulated, piston-based filling system that eliminates sample agitation and degradation during filling. Connecting a liquid chiller to ASV ensures sample integrity, from bottle to measuring cell. Successful results for chemometric sample parameters greatly depend on the sample’s representation of the product. If components of the sample are ‘lost’, predicted parameter results will be compromised.
• Air saturated vapor pressure (ASVP) methods require the sample to enter the measuring chamber between 0C and 1C (32 – 34F). ASV’s external, liquid chiller connection ensures that sample warming / outgassing will not occur. Air bubbles that enter the measuring chamber have a direct impact on the result.
• A thermally optimized sample connection between ASV and IRV further prevents sample degradation, for confident FTIR fuel analysis.
• IR Vision’s full-color, industrial touchscreen allows for simple programming of ASV’s workload. User profiles allow FTIR parameter training on-the-fly, for fast sample group changes when analyzing samples from different regions.
• Designed for true portability, IRV + ASV is the ideal combo for use at import inspection(fuel adulteration), pipeline terminals, tank farms, mobile laboratories, and independent testing labs.
