AutoFlex® R837

Automated Flavor & Fragrance Lab Testing

Rudolph Research understands that the Flavor and Fragrance industries have unique needs. Many wish to make multiple tests of their sample such as automated Density, SG (Specific Gravity), RI (Refractive Index), OR (Optical Rotation), Specific Rotation, BRIX, Color, and pH measurements all with one sample loading. Automated Flavor & Fragrance Lab Testing can be challenging as samples are scarce or very valuable; thus using the minimum amount of samples is very important. Samples may be very viscous and require several solvents to fully clean the instrument. Rudolph’s Most capable automation system can handle all of these requirements. The R837, using both suction and pressure at the same time makes pumping high viscosity samples of up to 37,000 mPa -s possible through instruments still using less than 12 ml of sample.

AutoFlex® R837 can:

  • Automate Density measurements
  • Automate Optical Rotation measurements (OR Measurements)
  • Automate Specific Rotation measurements (SR Measurements)
  • Automate SG measurements (specific gravity)
  • Automate RI measurements (Refractive Index)
  • Automate BRIX measurements
  • Automate Color measurements (Reflectance and transmittance)
  • Automate pH measurements
  • Automate Urine Specific Gravity measurement (SG)

Typical Automated Pharmaceutical lab testing system - Automatically test for Brix

Automated Flavor and Fragrance lab testing

• Self-validated system – makes it so easy to run daily system validation. This can be done as often as you’d like without any daily interruption to your daily routine.

• Flexible Sample vials – Saves time, and money and no decanting. Simply use the same vial you’re accustomed to, 4 Dram, 1 oz., 1/2 oz., 16x100mm, 13x100mm, 13x7mm, 5mL, and more.

• Heated Racks – For your heated applications we have 2 configurations available 40/10 (40 heated and 10 non-heated) and 20/30 (20 Heated and 30 non-heated). We know that it is necessary to have non-heated availability for some control samples and the AutoFlex® R837 is the only autosampler in the world that can fulfill that need. We make it very easy to use. It’s merely transparent to the user. The system has the intelligence to not use the heated tubes and interface when loading a non-heated sample and also to heat up the tubes and heated interface prior to loading a heated sample.

• Flexible Method Selection – With the variety of samples that are cycled in today’s laboratories we realized how important it is to have a system that can handle your samples painlessly. One of our goals at Rudolph Research Analytical is to keep things simple for the user. Each sample may require different sample load modes and/or parameters, measurement parameters, measurement criteria, temperature, cleaning parameters with solvent type, amount of solvent, and drying time.

• Best unattended autosampler system that has the intelligence to let you know when a solvent runs low and it’s time to empty your waste container.

• Most advanced safety features – The needle does not protrude in the absence of a sample vial. Turns on the heated racks in the morning and off at the end of the day.

• Robust – Build with advanced cutting-edge technology.  Military-grade cables and circuits to ensure top quality and redundancy. The AutoFlex® R837 is built to handle the harshest laboratory environments. Its metal frame and covers can handle any accidental chemical spills.

• Urgent sample – Allows the user to run an urgent sample without interrupting the active run.

• Import List of Sample IDs – A whole list of sample IDs can be saved and exported to the instrument to automatically populate the sample sequence without the need for sample labels.

• Safety – Complies with all safety regulations (US and International)

• Low sample volume consumption – The AutoFlex® R837 uses less than 12mL for a 5 analytical instruments system (Density Meter, Refractometer, Polarimeter, Colorimeter, pH meter).

• Fast Throughput – 1.5 to 8 minutes per cycle (load, measure & clean).

Automated Data Collection

Automated sampling manages electronic data recording, and sample IDs, and reduces operator errors. Test tubes and bottles can be automatically identified by the system with a built-in bar code and label reader.

• Use any format of bar codes: PDF 417, 2D Matrix, UPC, or any bar code your lab chooses.

• The bar code is recorded as the Sample ID, measurements are taken, and data is available for export to a USB, Network Server, LIMS, or any data storage system.

• Labeling sample vials are also simplified as each bar code can be placed at any rotation on the sample vial or bottle because the sample vials are spun as they pass the bar code reader.

Durable Laboratory Automation

The Autoflex® R837 is engineered to withstand demanding Automated Fragrance testing lab environments

The Rudolph R837 Automatic Sampling System is rugged and specifically designed to stand up in a harsh laboratory and industrial applications.

• Superior material construction: Stainless Steel Needle, PTFE, Teflon, and PEEK liquid flow path materials.

• Robust needle with sufficient torque to pierce any septum.

• Never miss piercing a sample vial with precision-engineered probe arm and sample racks which virtually eliminate misalignment errors.

• Safety guard protects hands and automated needle detects no-sample condition.

• Modular design reduces combined footprint.

Flexibilidade de aplicativos

The AutoFlex® R837 is a flexible automation solution that can be configured with various instruments and measurement methods to automate a wide range of sample viscosities. It is perfect for high throughput laboratories looking to increase productivity, which makes this an excellent Petroleum testing system. The R837 is excellent when used in combination with Rudolph Research laboratory instruments in the Petroleum, Chemical, Flavor, Fragrance, Pharmaceutical, and Toxicology industries.

Using standard and custom Methods the Autoflex® R837 can:

  • Automate Density Measurements
  • Automate SG Measurements (Specific Gravity)
  • Automate Specific Rotation Measurements
  • Automate OR Measurements (Optical Rotation)
  • Automate BRIX Measurements
  • Automate Color Measurements
  • Automate pH Measurements
  • Automate RI Measurements(Refractive Index)

Eliminate sample cross-contamination with complete needle cleaning is a Rudolph exclusive feature

• Automatic Self-cleaning needle eliminates cross-contamination by washing both inside and outside areas of the needle between each sample. Most commercially available automation systems only flush the inside of the sample needle but neglect cleaning the outside of the needle thereby carrying over small amounts of the prior sample into new samples.

• The R837 rinses the entire system with your choice of 3 solvents between each sample. This is very important in Automated Flavor testing and Automated Fragrance testing.

• Low solvent level sensing: the 3 solvent bottles have a non-contact low-level sensor which will prompt the user with a low solvent level message.

• Sample return feature allows 95% of the original sample to be returned to the sample vial.

• Solvent selection flexibility: by using highly solvent-resistant materials for all sample pathways, a wide variety of solvents may be used including Water, Acetone, Isopropanol, Toluene, Hexane, and Heptane.

Flexibility Unmatched with Windows Embedded

The user interface allows the operator to interrupt a measurement routine with an urgent sample. If you need to quickly find and measure a sample in the rack, the auto-find feature will search and measure for you.
