Loader Option

Get to Know Our Automatic Micro-Sampling System (AMS).

Meet the AMS

The AMS offers preset and user adjustable settings that allows the loader to be fine tuned to your experimental requirements. The AMS is specifically designed to streamline experimental workflow and seamlessly integrates into the Aurora. The AMS also offers ease of use and low carry over.

check Reliable and easy

Reliable 96 well plate acquisition maximizes productivity.

Easily change between plates and tubes in a matter of seconds.

check Three throughput modes

Optimized acquisition speeds, from low carry over to high throughput.

check User customizable modes

Fully customizable with a suite of user modes to fit a variety of applications and workflows.

Specifications

96-well microtiter plate capability

Throughput time: 35 minutes at High Throughput mode sampling 7 µL/well

Plate stage temperature: 4-30°C

Carryover: default mode: ≤0.3%, Low Carryover mode: ≤0.1%, High Throughput mode: ≤1%
