Autosampler viscosity system VAS 2
The Lauda Scientific VAS-2 system offers the convenience of full automation at the highest sample throughput rate as an add-on to the two-station (VAS 15/2 and VAS 24/2) or four-station (VAS 24/4) measuring systems. Depending on the size of the sample bottles, up to 41 samples can be processed in one session. The system is controlled using a special PVS program which permits the safe application-specific allocation of the measurement samples to the matching glass viscometers, e. g. through direct “drag & drop“ from the task list which was generated during sample preparation. The measurement of the samples is done in the S5 measuring stand, while the cleaning of the glass capillary viscometers and dosing syringes is done via suitable VRM modules.
