Alcott model 708 Autosampler, including chilling.

This unit is virtually new, and has only been used for testing in our laboratory. It is a current model, as sold by the Alcott / Bischoff / Metrohm group, and has a list price of around £9K with the cooling option. It doesn't come with the tray cover, but we do have a tray cover from another unit which could be supplied free with this unit if required.

It is very easy to programme, almost obvious, even to a Geography teacher! It uses positive displacement to inject the samples. This means that it pushed the vial cap down the vial, thereby displacing the sample, and hence doea not ned a syringe. This means that two common autosampler problems cannot ever happen with this instrument (air bubbles becoming trapped in the syringe and the syringe wearing out giving unreproducible injections). It also results in the most reproducible injection volumes you are ever likely to see. There is one downside. You need about a ml of sample, and can only do 1,2 or 4 injections from it. So if you have only tiny sample quantities, this is not for you. Otherwise it would be fine, especially for QC - type applications.

Kontron Model 360.

This is a basic sautosampler with the unique 'race track' sample tray. It is a fixed volume model, so does not really suit research applications, but for a QC environment it would be perfect.
