Dual Syringe Diluter

The Dual Syringe Diluter has two syringe drives and one valve positioner. This pump is designed for applications that require the dilution of several unique samples with the same diluent. Common applications include Blood Alcohol Analysis, Sample Prep for HPLC, GC, ICP, AA, Liquid Scintillation and other analytical devices, and Scheduled Oil Sampling (SOS).

Detailed Description

Basic A Series Controller
	The MICROLAB 500A series is an inexpensive line of instruments that meet the needs of any laboratory demanding an accurate diluter or dispenser. A method is programmed in seconds by setting the syringe size and the desired dispense volume. The instruments accurately and precisely aspirate and dispense fluid at the touch of a hand probe button or the tap of a foot switch.

Advanced B Series Controller
The MICROLAB 500B series is a versatile, easily programmed line of instruments ideal for laboratories performing multiple dilute and dispense methods. The user can program and store up to 21 methods in the instrument's memory.

PC Controlled System
The MICROLAB 500C instruments perform the same functions as the 500B series except that programming and method storage is performed using a PC and RS232C communication. The computer controls the MICROLAB 500C instrument based on the method selected or one that has been pre-programmed into the instrument's EEPROM (Electronically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory). Up to 16 instruments can be daisy-chained and controlled from the host computer.

The dual syringe diluter can fit syringes from 25 µL to 25 mL. For the greatest accuracy and precision it is recommended to operate syringes above 10% of their nominal volume (for example 2.5 µL from a 25 µL syringe). If lower volumes are desired the ML500 is capable of dispenses down to 0.1% of nominal syringe volume with a modest decrease in accuracy and precision.

Controller Options:

Basic A Series Controller - Economical option with limited functionality.
Advanced B Series Controller - Advanced controller with method storage and custom method capabilities
PC Controlled System - The ML500 is controlled with software written for the PC. This option provides the most programming options but requires a tethered PC.
