Description
The HTA HT1500U Autosampler is a reliable, cost‑effective automation solution designed for ion chromatography (IC) laboratories performing routine anion and cation analysis. Engineered to deliver unattended operation with minimal setup, the HT1500U integrates seamlessly with leading IC platforms from Metrohm and Thermo Scientific™ Dionex™, making it an ideal choice for laboratories seeking immediate automation without complexity.
The system supports both stainless steel and polymeric (metal‑free) sampling needles, allowing users to confidently analyze metal‑sensitive samples. A flexible sample carousel with removable racks enables continuous sample loading and efficient batch processing, while the built‑in pump ensures precise sample aspiration at a programmable depth.
To maintain data integrity and reduce carryover, the HT1500U features an on‑board rinse system that automatically cleans the needle and flow path between injections. Daily operation is simple—users can load samples and start sequences via the autosampler keypad or directly through their Chromatography Data System (CDS) using software such as MagIC Net™ or Chromeleon™.Designed for durability and low ownership cost, the HT1500U uses standard, affordable consumables and requires minimal operator intervention, making it a dependable workhorse for routine IC workflows.
Available from Alliant Scientific, an authorized HTA distributor, supplying the HTA HT1500U Autosampler with full support for system configuration, installation.
