Fully customizable laboratory automation solution: HTX
The HTX floor-standing automation platform can integrate up to ten different analytical instruments such as viscometers, density meters, or refractometers for concurrent multiparameter analysis. Its modular concept allows fully customized workflows for sample conditioning, preparation, and measurement.
Key features
Assemble individual workflows
HTX is a fully customizable automation platform for automation of viscometers, density meters, refractometers, polarimeters, rheometers, etc. On request, even third-party analyzers including heating ovens, analyzers with flow cells, balances, etc. can be integrated into the fully automated workflow.
Up to ten slots are available for any combination of lab instruments and/or sample racks. Sample preparation and analyzers work independently of each other and enable multiparameter analysis within one workflow. Downtimes in case of maintenance are minimized due to the multi-module configuration – just redirect measurements to another slot while servicing.
Simplify process control
With the self-explaining and easy-to-use control software for sample and workflow management the samples can be managed by using job lists.
HTX offers a broad variety of notification services (e.g. text messages or email) to keep you informed and connected to your measurements everywhere at any time.
Automation that depends on current needs – introduce priority samples, at any time.
Communicate safely
HTX works with standard industry protocols such as PROFINET, Ethernet, CANOpen, or Profibus and is fully integrated in the laboratory environment via LIMS integration supporting file transfer, database, and Ethernet.
HTV: High Throughput Viscometer based on HTX
HTV is a ready-made configuration based on the HTX platform which can be equipped with up to eight SVM-type viscometers. It processes up to 2500 samples per day using up to four sample racks with 96 vials.
The measuring devices are cleaned fully automatically and the recalibration with standard oils is also performed periodically and fully automatically. HTV complies with the ASTM D7042 standard and is fit for applications such as used oils, lube oils, fuels, chemicals, and cosmetics.
