Optimization of Sample Volume
What is Sample Volume Optimization with InMotion PX?
Sample Volume Optimization with InMotion PX refers to the process of determining the ideal sample volume and vial fill levels to achieve accurate, reliable, and efficient measurements. It involves adjusting sample volumes based on viscosity and the number of parameters analyzed (such as density, refractive index, color, pH, and conductivity) to prevent spillage, minimize sample waste, and ensure consistent performance. The InMotion PX system provides tailored recommendations for both minimal and optimal sample volumes in different vial sizes (12 mL and 18 mL) to maximize throughput while maintaining measurement accuracy and automation reliability.
How do incorrect vial fill levels affect system performance with different sample viscosities?
Incorrect vial fill levels can significantly impact system performance, especially when handling samples with different viscosities. If the vial is underfilled, the system may not aspirate enough sample, resulting in inaccurate measurements. Overfilling can cause spillage, contamination, and cleaning challenges. For viscous samples, precise vial fill levels are essential to ensure proper sample aspiration and consistent analysis. Therefore, maintaining the correct vial fill level is crucial for reliable, accurate, and efficient system operation.
