The SOLATek 72 is a sample processing system for VOA vials. It has a capacity of 72 positions for 40 mL VOA vials. The system comes with two removable trays for easy storage of 40 mL vials, with each tray capable of holding 36 vials. An optional cooling feature is available to cool samples to 4°C. The sample syringe can dispense variable volumes of water from 1 mL to 25 mL in 1 mL increments, while the dilution syringe can dispense sample volumes up to 250 µL. The system also features high precision and programmable automatic dilutions. It is suitable for liquid samples, including drinking water and wastewater, as well as solid samples, including various types of natural soils and sediments.
The Teledyne Tekmar SOLATek 72 is a soil and water purge and trap autosampler designed to perform soil analysis automatically using selectable parameters such as mixing, heating, and purging. The system accurately delivers sample volumes from 1 mL to 25 mL in 1 mL increments using the aqueous mode and transfers aliquots to the concentrator with an internal standard for purge and trap analysis.
Key features include a vial-to-needle design allowing purge-in-vial capabilities, auto-dilution up to 1:250 using a two-syringe system, and optional vial cooling that chills samples to 4°C. The instrument supports various methods including USEPA standards and ASTM methods, with complete software solution control for multi-method and dilution capabilities in a single schedule.
