Sample Changer:
Xsample 530
- The multi-sample changer with the highest cleaning performance
- Handles up to 71 samples with optional sample recovery
- Automated cleaning and drying with up to three solvents
- Customized magazines available for your own vials
- Measurement of volatile samples
The Xsample 530 sample changer for all Anton Paar master instruments handles samples with a wide range of properties. With controlled filling power, samples from plain water to highly viscous oils (up to 36,000 mPa.s) are filled in a minimum of time. The 71-position magazine for unattended operation can be exchanged with one hand to ensure easy handling and filling.
With up to three cleaning agents, Xsample 530 is ready to measure a great variety of samples in one run. No compromises regarding mechanical components as well as a superior resistance to chemicals ensures increased uptime of the system and low maintenance costs.
