Vulcan - Automated Open Vessel Digestion

Automated Hot Block Digestion system
The Vulcan Platform is our fully modular Laboratory Automation Solution capable of up to 6 Automated steps in nearly any Lab Sample Digestion process. Our Automation Experts will learn the needs of your lab, and determine your ideal Vulcan configuration. Below you’ll learn more about the automation features of our most popular modules.
Years of collaboration with laboratories around the world has proven that Vulcan saves money everyday, even as it increases throughput. How much could Vulcan save you?

Reagent Dispensing Module
QPump Or Syringe Drive
QPump – Peristaltic acid dispensing Pumps | Syringe Accurate delivery system |
---|---|
We found it impossible to acquire a peristaltic pump able to pump high purity HCl without getting destroyed by the Chloric gas; so we built our own. | With acid resistant 3 way valves our syringe pump system is capable of independently deliver highly pure acid independently from one another in a highly precise manner. |
1/16” tubing for precise dispensing at a 0.4 mL/sec or 1/8” tubing for fast dispensing at 1.3 mL/s | 5 Glass syringes to handle most acids, and 1 Teflon for HF. Or you can have 6 Teflon Syringes |
± 0.1 mL or ± 0.2 mL Accuracy | ± 0.05 mL Accuracy |

Worried About Cross-contamination?
Independent tubing guaranties that no reagent contacts another until the time of delivery.
Restriction On Delivery system?
The Vulcan system is capable of simultaneous, accurate, and different amount of any kind of acid.
Hot Block Digestion Modules
The Vulcan can accept any of our QBlocks and will control the block seamlessly along with the operation of the arm in simple and flexible program.
The Pneumatic tray lift system ensures smooth movement of the vials being inserted to heat the samples, or taken out of the block to cool them.

Post Digestion Modules
After Digestion is done there is a lot of monotonous repetitive work that involves diluting, stirring and transferring volume. Which is why we built the Vulcan to automate all of this processes so your highly qualified scientist are not doing repetitive mindless labor and instead focus on things that needs an educated human to be done.
Software Capabilities
We made possible the full capability of Vulcan by using three intuitive steps to follow:
