Autosampling devices types

For this purpose, Bruiser has already coupled the microplate stacking device Twister 1 to its microplate reader [22]. In this combination, which is controlled by OPUS software, 40 IR microplates can be measured automatically. To load samples with high throughput, the Microlab 4000 SP autosampler can be used. Both formats (96 and 384) of the Bruker silicon microplates are suitable for automatic loading of various types of samples (proteins, cells, culture media).

The MHE procedure is carried out in a series of consecutive runs from one and the same sample vial. Immediately after the first headspace analysis, the vial is depressurized to the atmosphere and incubated with the same method again for the next analysis. This step can also be accomplished by many types of headspace autosamplers. In case of a headspace syringe autosampler, an optional MHE device is required, which is used to depressurize the vial (Vulpius and Bal-tensperger, 2009). With this stepwise procedure Eq. (2.10) can be rewritten in Eq. (2.11) by replacing the concentration with peak areas (with i the number of injections, A the peak area after i injections and the peak area of the first injection),...
