EA Robotic Automated Sample Preparation

Description

Provision of a robotic system(s) suitable for the trace analysis or semi volatile organic substances including but not limited to of Poly Fluro Alkyl Substances (PFAS) in a range of environmental waters and associated materials. All critical parts of the system must therefore be free of PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) and other PFAS containing materials. The system will be used in the development of up to 7 existing methodologies for which the modules described have been determined as being required to cover the range of analytes. Fully automated, computer controlled standalone* benchtop robotic system with the ability to house and control multiple modules as described for the automation of liquid-liquid extraction for a minimum of 45 samples per single workflow. * Not connected to an analytical instrument. The system must comprise as a minimum but not limited to the following modules: • Duel robotic arm to house twin syringe systems • Sample vial tray holder • Wash station with Waste Port • Solvent containing Reservoirs • Shaker / Vortex • Centrifuge • Tool Storage Location • Vial decapper • Temperature Controlled Vial Storage • Nitrogen Evaporator
