Before a sample can be analysed, several steps for sample preparation are necessary. These includes dilution, addition of standards and buffer solutions, filtration, concentration, purification, and deposition in a suitable sample vial. Depending on the sample volume, there are simple accessories for manual processing but also devices and systems for interactive support or automation.

Pumping and dosing tasks can be found in day-to-day laboratory work as well as in process and application technology. Starting with simple dosing to complex, continuous and low-pulsation liquid handling of critical media.

In the fields of analytics, liquid handling and automation, it is necessary to monitor or control certain physical quantities. Suitable sensors are used to ensure plant safety, process control and secure results without any falsification. If this is not possible, individual components need to be checked separately at regular intervals for required system specifications.

In the field of liquid-handling single or multiple process steps can be performed by automation. Higher accuracy and improved quality are obtained by machine assistance or automation in comparison to manual processing. This is less vulnerable to failures. Comprehensive applications can be realized completely within one system. As result, there is more time for the end-user to spend in higher valued work.
