AutoMate-Q40
Fully automated QuEChERS sample preparation platform

The AutoMate-Q40 is a revolutionary system specifically designed and optimized to automate the QuEChERS sample preparation workflow. The system is configured ‘out of the box’ to conduct two of the most popular QuEChERS sample preparation methods AOAC2007.01 and EN15662.2008. It can realize all the steps after homogenate and before sample injection into GC and HPLC.

Features

AutoMate-Q40
