MASTERSIZER RANGE - HYDRO µP

SAMPLE PREPARATION CROSS SECTION POLISHER SM-09010
The Cross Section Polisher is an easy-to-use, sample preparation device for SEM, EPMA, and SAM applications. Soft, hard, and composite samples can now be prepared with minimum sample damage,
smearing or deformation. An ion beam mills cross sections in almost any material creating a clean, polished cross section with a large viewing area.
With the Cross Section Polisher, a mirrored surface of almost any material is possible in a single step. This includes difficult-to-polish soft materials such as copper, aluminum, gold, solder, and polymers, as well as difficult-to-cut materials such as ceramic and glass. The high power optical microscope allows the user to position a sample to within a few microns of the precise cross section position. During milling, the sample is rocked automatically to avoid creating beam striations on the cross sectioned surface. Due to the glancing incidence of the ion beam, argon is not implanted into the sample surface.

SEMI-AUTOMATED SAMPLE PREPARATION (SASP)
The Semi-Automated Sample Preparation (SASP™) assists operators in the preparation process by controlling the weighing and dispensing operations. SASP automatically compensates for impurities as
well as temperature and density variations so that exact concentrations of polymer solutions can be easily and precisely prepared.
The system is comprised of a balance, a syringe pump, computer and Viscotek's ARV™ software. ARV prompts the operator through the weighing steps, ensuring that the appropriate amount of sample is provided and the balance delivers a stable reading. It then calculates the exact amount of solvent to deliver considering the weight, impurities, temperature expansion of the solvent, and solvent density. All information is stored in data files for easy documentation.
Additional features of the SASP system include:
Weight/volume and weight/weight preparation
Automatic correction for sample impurities
Automatic correction for solvent expansion
Automatic calculation of solvent density
Automating the sample preparation process through SASP removes variabilities and yields better precision in the actual measurement of solution viscosity.

VORTEXTM AUTOSAMPLER - SAMPLE PREPARATION
The Vortex™ autosampler is a significant new development in automated sample preparation and delivery for DSV. It consists of an integrated autosampling device and multi-vial stirrer and is designed
to increase efficiency, enhance precision and promote operator safety.
The temperature controlled, heated (up to 150°C) multi-stirrer assembly features a stainless steel tray, capable of handling either 20 ml or 40 ml vials. Each vial position has its own magnetic stirring mechanism, delivering consistent and reproducible stirring action from vial-to-vial and eliminating variability due to the dissolution process.
Accessory syringe pumps are used to dispense solvent and deliver sample. Solvent and sample delivery, dissolution times, load/inject sequences and multi-stirrer control are software controlled, effectively removing the operator from the sample dissolution and delivery process.
When coupled with Viscotek's Relative Viscometer, the Vortex™ provides a complete, automated system for determination of solution viscosities.
