CETAC ASX-520 Random Access Autosampler for ICP-MS Applications

The CETAC ASX-520 is a precision-engineered random access autosampler designed primarily for inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) workflows requiring medium to high throughput. It integrates fully programmable software controls with advanced rinse functions such as Intelligent Rinse and Pre-emptive Rinse, ensuring minimal sample carryover and contamination.

Key technical features include:

• Corrosion-resistant materials and a metal-free liquid flow path enable reliability in harsh chemical environments common in molecular diagnostics and bioprocessing analysis.
• Enclosed drive-arm design enhances accuracy by protecting sample handling components from contamination.
• Supports up to 360 vial positions via multiple flexible rack configurations to accommodate high-volume sample processing in demanding biotechnology and clinical diagnostic laboratories.
• Compatible with Agilent 7700 ICP-MS instruments and supports ISIS intelligent online auto-dilution and discrete sampling (ISIS-DS) for enhanced sample throughput.
• Built-in pumped rinse station plus access to 5 user-defined rinse vials assure thorough cleaning cycles, vital for maintaining assay integrity in synthetic biology and biomanufacturing quality control.

This autosampler is widely used in biotechnology research, environmental monitoring, and clinical chemistry due to its robust performance in automated sample preparation, essential for complex workflows including molecular cloning and trace elemental analysis.

Optimized for labs requiring precise, contamination-free sample introduction, the CETAC ASX-520 enhances analytical reproducibility and efficiency, making it critical in biopharmaceutical production pipelines and biomedical engineering research settings.
