New Heated Sampler for Reliable Direct Injection of Viscous Matrices

The heated MMS 5000 is an application and matrix-optimized auto sampler, adapted to the special requirements involved in the introduction of viscous matrices.

Thanks to the powerful heating option for both the sample vials and the injector head, even matrices that are difficult to handle, such as paraffin oil, lubricating oil, hydraulic fluids etc., can be analyzed easily for their sulfur, nitrogen, carbon, and chlorine contents, ranging from ultra traces to percentage.

Dilution as an additional sample treatment step is not only a factor of increased processing time and additional costs for suitable solvents, but also a possible source of mistakes and contaminations, and therewith erroneous analysis results. That is why it is preferable to analyze a sample matrix directly without dilution.

Besides, sometimes it is not possible to dilute a sample, due to the ultra trace element contents - as in quality control of paraffin and white oil for pharmaceutical purposes. In that case the only way to introduce these samples is by means of boats, like a solid. But this type of sample feeding also bears risks (e.g. sample loss by hydrolysis processes and contamination by ambient pollutants), which will seriously affect the measurement results.

The multi EA^® 5000, with its heated liquids sampler, effectively eliminates all these sources of interference. It combines convenient, user-friendly hardware and short measurement times with high-precision dosing technology and minimal maintenance requirements. In addition, the unique flame sensor technology ensures the safe and quantitative oxidation of all types of solid and liquid sample matrices, independent of whether volatile, none volatile or highly viscous. This guarantees trouble-free use in shift operation, as required in modern labs.
