Vulcan 7-line precision reagent addition system — HF and aggressive acid compatible syringe module

Precise Reagent Delivery:
7 Lines, 2 Technologies

Seven independent lines connect directly from the reagent bottle to the probe. A choice of syringe or peristaltic pump adapts to any reagent type and viscosity.

7 Independent Reagent Lines
Each line connects directly from the bottle to the probe. PTFE and glass wetted materials ensure safe operation with aggressive liquids including HF, HClO₄, H₂O₂, and H₂SO₄.
💧
±0.05 mL Syringe Accuracy
±0.05 mL per single stroke with syringe; ±0.1 mL at 5 mL with peristaltic pump. Eliminates operator pipetting error and delivers reproducible results across every run.
🔄
Glass & PTFE Syringe or Peristaltic Pump
Syringe mode for high-precision volumetric delivery; peristaltic pump for high-volume or viscous fluids. Both options are available on the same system.
Vulcan flexible transfer module — automated volumetric dilution and autosampler transfer system

Volumetric Dilution and
Automated Autosampler Transfer

From ultrasonic non-contact sensing to automated autosampler rack loading, every sample processing step runs without operator intervention.

📡
Ultrasonic Non-Contact Volumetric Dilution
A non-contact ultrasonic sensor measures liquid level precisely; diluent is added automatically. The final volume in each vial is consistent across every batch.
🧫
Multiple Dilutions from a Single Parent Vial
Multiple sub-vials at different dilution factors are produced automatically from a single digest. Multi-analyte calibration requirements are met without additional manual steps.
🤖
Fully Automated Autosampler Transfer
Prepared samples are transferred directly to the autosampler rack. Direct integration with ICP-MS, ICP-OES, and AAS systems enables unattended overnight runs.

Drag-and-Drop
Method Programming

Methods are built by arranging pre-defined steps via drag-and-drop — no programming expertise required. GLP and ISO compliance is enforced at the software level.

📋
LIMS Integration
Full compatibility with Laboratory Information Management Systems. Digestion data is transferred directly to the LIMS, eliminating manual data entry and transcription errors.
🔐
GLP & ISO User Access Management
Role-based user access levels, complete audit trail logging, and an auditable workflow. Ready infrastructure for GLP and ISO compliance audits.
📊
Automated Report Generation
A detailed report with all recorded parameters is generated automatically after each digestion run. Results are traceable, comparable, and audit-ready.
