Automate Your Analytical Processes with the Continuous Flow Analyzer

 

Automatic Continuous Flow Wet Chemistry Analyzer

In the world of analytical chemistry, efficiency and reliability are paramount. Laboratories dealing with various sample matrices, such as sea water, drinking water, wastewater, environmental samples, soil, food, beverages, tobacco, and more, face the challenge of testing different parameters accurately and efficiently. Manual sample preparation methods can be complex and time-consuming. However, a revolutionary solution has emerged—the AMS Alliance FUTURA 3 Continuous Flow Analyzer.

This cutting-edge instrument automates the testing process, providing a complete and reliable solution for laboratories seeking streamlined operations.

Each FUTURA 3 console integrates a high precision 3-speed peristaltic pump (medium, fast (startup and washout more speed) and slow (for low consumption of reagents)), a removable drawer for reagents, an analytical manifold, a heater, a detector, and a built-in display for the presentation of essential diagnostics data.

Streamlining Analytical Processes With Automation, Enhancing Laboratory Productivity :

The AMS Alliance FUTURA 3 Continuous Flow Analyzer has become the go-to tool for laboratories seeking to optimize their operations. FUTURA 3 has programmable start-up and shut-down capability, allowing it to provide unattended, reliable operation, and overnight testing.  

It comes with programmable preparation of standard solutions (using digestion or in-line distillation module), pre-and post-dilution of off-scale samples, and automatic rinsing, thus eliminating the manual sample preparation methods which often hinder laboratory productivity due to their complexity and time-consuming nature.  

With its automated workflow, the instrument can process a large number of samples in a short period (up to 120 samples/hour), reducing turnaround times and saving resources significantly. Laboratory personnel can now focus on more critical tasks while the analyzer handles the routine aspects of the analysis. This streamlined workflow improves overall productivity, allowing for faster and more accurate results.

Versatile Sample Matrices:

One of the most significant challenges faced by analytical laboratories is the diverse range of sample matrices they encounter. Whether it’s seawater, drinking water, wastewater, environmental samples, soil, food, beverages, tobacco, or any other complex sample, the FUTURA 3 Analyzer excels in delivering precise and reliable results.

It is designed to handle a wide variety of parameters, making it a versatile tool for laboratories dealing with multiple sample types.
