User-independent first-class filling of numerous Anton Paar master instruments is ensured by stepless adjustability in combination with a smart pump lock. With a simple snap the pump is adjusted and ready for operation. Xsample 520 automatically handles up to 96 samples, so unattended filling and measurement are possible even during the night and weekends. Freeing operators for higher qualified tasks increases the productivity in the lab. The maintenance-free peristaltic pump with a flexible filling speed enables optimized sample treatment for perfect measuring results.

Key features

Easy installation and operation

Plug and Play: Xsample 520 is automatically activated when the master instrument is started.
You can configure sample changing via the touchscreen, mouse, or keyboard.
A unified user interface for measurement and automation reduces the time needed for training which frees you for other important tasks.
The user-independent filling leads to the highest repeatable measuring results and reduction of handling errors
